The Thronin Podcast

I was thrilled when Mike Gross agreed to be the first Thronin Podcast interview guest; his reputation precedes him but just in case you have been living under a rock, he, along with his wife Rosa have performed a professional throwing act as ‘One Sharp Marriage’ since 2001 and were recognised by the IKTHOF as ‘Throwing Ambassadors of the Year’ in 2010. However, Mike is also an accomplished competition thrower, a certified Master Thrown Weapons Instructor and is the founder of the OSM Knife & Tomahawk Throwers Academy in Massachusetts. Suffice it to say we had a lot to talk about! In this show I ask Mike about his own origins and growth in the throwing arts before delving into his vision for his academy and his recently published book. We go on to discuss training strategies, the differences in perception between the throwing arts in the States and the UK and what it takes to perform at World Championship standard. This is one not to miss!
