In the wake of recent New Jersey shooting, some martial arts grifters are seazing their chance.
I guess local gun laws might be too restrictive for effective self defense, but axe throwing is still stupid.

That's fucking retarded, even if by some miracle you manage a perfect throw and hit the enemy with the blade of the axe, it will only result in a shallow cut, if the axe is really sharp. The real worth is in the fact that it is a heavy object hitting the assailant, injuring him through blunt force, perhaps dazing or disorientating him. You can get the same result from any hard and heavy object at your reach like full bottle, food or drink can, Nokia 3310... and your childhood experience from throwing various balls comes in play, while axes have to be thrown differently and require a lot of training to throw effectively, a lot more training than it takes to teach a person to point a gun and pull the trigger.“I’m teaching people to throw axes — it’s a fatal strike with immediate stopping power. If you shoot someone, it could take a while. When you get struck with an axe, it’s game over,” he said, adding that it’s easier to train someone to throw a 2- to 5-pound axe than to use a gun.
