  • The Javelin Throw in 5 easy steps.
    Visit www.throwjavelin.com for more info.
    We all know the javelin throw is anything but easy however, there are some basics in this video to get you started.
    General Notes:
    1) The run up and cross steps do not need to be too aggressive when you're learning to throw. Take your time and keep them smooth and rhythmic and build your speed from there without sacrificing your throwing stance. If you don't throw much further with a longer or faster run up, back things off and build your standing throwing and posterior chain strength.
    2) You'll notice during the video I discuss pushing up into the throw. This is a sensation I feel when pulling the javelin over my frame during delivery. This can help you from just spinning in place or getting a bit of a side arm.
    3) Also be sure to avoid common pitfalls such as trying to create a large penultimate step and quick last two steps. Your throwing motion should unfold naturally and trying to create more than what your body can handle at a given time will slow your development as a thrower.

    Javelin throw is not always about strength, it's about technique and assessing the conditions around you.
    Being an amateur javelin thrower, here is how I won a second place during my school days at an athletic meet.
    I was a long distance runner, Marathon & 1500mts at both School and Zonal level meets in athletics. My team needed some points to win the title and I was asked to participate in the javelin throw event as well, I was supposed to throw the last in the order (Based on how I finished at the heats).
    There were heavy winds during that day, all the other guys were throwing against the wind very powerfully and none of thier javelin's were landing properly or were falling really short. I did the same mistake on the first few times.
    So on my last try, I simply walked to the line and threw the javelin making sure that it landed pointed downwards and threw it flat so that it doesn't get caught in the wind.
    Guess what I didn't foul, got fair distance, finished second and my team won the title.

    For all of you throwing enjoyers who want something to make throwing more fun look up the amentum javelin, putting a piece of string or small leather cord on the javelin will allow you to add spin to it or you can forego the spin and just throw 10 to 20 meters further with a string that's straight and not looped around the javelin. Throw some fletchings on the javelin for more ranged enjoyment.
    Historically javelins were commonly fletched, the fletchings just rotted away over time.

    • @ThrowJavelin
      @ThrowJavelin  5 років тому +2

      I would suggest either the index finger grip or the middle finger grip. They are both used among elite throwers. Also, if you're doing any ball throwing, make sure you keep your wrist straight back and try to hold it like a javelin as well.

    • @ThrowJavelin
      @ThrowJavelin  5 років тому +4

      Yes, currently the sideways throwing motion is preferred. That being said, you're not supposed to deliver the javelin with a "sidearm motion". You should deliver it in an "over the top" motion. The javelins are very light. Men's 800g, Women's 600g. They do start to feel heavier though as you throw them further.

    What about breathing during run? When we begin to do cross steps is it better to breath or better to hold breath until release?

    • @ThrowJavelin
      @ThrowJavelin  5 років тому

      Definitely breathe throughout the entire run up and throw. Holding your breath under high force could cause a hernia or another injury. Breathe naturally during your throws.

    • @ThrowJavelin
      @ThrowJavelin  6 років тому +1

      Yes, you withdraw the javelin upon your first cross step. Pull the javelin straight back as your drive leg strides into your first cross. Make sure this doesn't open your hips completely to the side (common withdraw mistake) as this will cause a loss in tension and power. Let the upper body sit back but keep the hips facing 30-40 degrees forward until you deliver.

    There is some important pieces of throwing the javelin that was missed in this video. It’s more than running and gaining momentum before making your crossover. It’s been years since I’ve thrown the javelin but I still hold my high school record throwing the javelin 210 feet and I was swac champion in college 3 years in a row with my furthest throw of 220 ft with a hurt arm. I’ll try to get a hold of a javelin and make a video for those who want to learn. Just add me and wait for posting.

    There is so much wrong in this video: you NEVER want to push up with the back leg!! All energy from the run up must be directed into/against the block side to create the "bow" and develop elastic reflex to power the javelin. Following this advice is asking for poor results and likely injury.

    I'm 27 , height 5 feet 2 inches I want to learn this . Is there any height issues in this game?

      There are no height restrictions. There are great throwers around the world of various heights and weights. Good luck!

    I am 21 year old boy and I have not good height but I am interested in learning it. Is it late?

      Never too late to try something new and it's best to try throwing and see if you enjoy it and go from there. Good luck!

      No man, javelin throwers are at their top somewhere 25-40, you got plenty of time :)
