I've always been a little quirky and misunderstood. I had a hard time relating to my peers when I was younger, in large part due to my inability to succeed at sports. I hated sports growing up because I was laughably bad at everything. I come from a very athletic family, and was required to try one sport each year. And I did try. I attempted to do soccer, dance, gymnastics, hockey, golf, volleyball, swimming, ice skating and more. I'm just not naturally good at these things.... --- - Published: 2023-08-10 - Modified: 2023-07-27 - URL: https://american-axes.com/marley-mayhem-graham-never-quits/ - Categories: Axe Throwing By Marley Graham “Grahams never quit. ” Now, to this day, I’m still a sensitive person who can be a little intimidated by challenge, but that phrase was drilled into my mind from an age so early that I can’t remember living without its presence. Whether it was trying out for a new sports team or fighting for my life through an Analytic Geometry class for the third time, every aspect of life was peppered with the sentiment that, no matter how difficult things got, I was never allowed to give up.

There are not many who see the rocky bottom and make it out, but I did. This is where I learned to stop saying "I can't" and start saying "I can". Changing this tiny, some would say, miniscule thing, instantly turned hopeless to hopeful, unappreciative to grateful and failure to success.

We have considered WATL for several years, but recently our leagues have gotten significantly more competitive to the point now where there are several throwers that are now aspiring to grow their game and play towards larger tournament invitations. We have wanted this from the start, but between COVID and several other competitive leagues in the Atlanta area, it took us a while to... --- - Published: 2022-11-28 - Modified: 2022-11-21 - URL: https://american-axes.com/wes-smith-american-axes-atlanta-senior-manager/ - Categories: Axe Throwing It has been four years since I threw my first axe, I was brought to a local axe throwing venue on a date night planned by my girlfriend at the time. I picked up the skill quickly and with little coaching from the “axepert” on my first outing. While that venue didn’t put in the effort to make sure a customer learned how to throw, they did give me the space I needed to figure it out on my own. Two years after that I first started coming to American Axes where I really developed my love for axe throwing.... --- - Published: 2022-11-21 - Modified: 2022-11-21 - URL: https://american-axes.com/meet-brad-combs-american-axes-edgewater-manager/ By Brad Combs I recently joined the Axe Throwing family at American Axes in October of 2022. My first day on the job, they flew me to Atlanta where I was able to see the magic of axe throwing first-hand at both of their Atlanta locations and mobile trailers. I was given an axe and now it’s hard to put it down! I’m born and raised in Denver CO, and currently live a short drive from the new American Axes location inside Edgewater Public Market.

As fate would have it, we were closed for COVID-19 after only 9 weeks of action. As the pandemic did for so many, it slowed our growth plan significantly. Being an entertainment company, we feel fortunate to have survived and grown during the pandemic by adding mobile axe throwing in 2020 and then a second store in Atlanta at The Works ATL in 2021. While our measured approach to growth was the right one, we... --- - Published: 2021-07-07 - Modified: 2022-11-21 - URL: https://american-axes.com/beginners-guide-to-axe-selection/ - Categories: Axe Throwing Co-authored by David Whittington In axe throwing, the first decision that you have is to choose an axe that is right for you. Most people have no idea what axe they should choose, which is totally fair because how would any new thrower know which axe to throw? For us, we had to try a variety of axes to understand which works best for us. We’ve been in the sport for a few years, and would like to share our knowledge with people who would like to pick up axe throwing. When considering what axe to choose for yourself, there... --- - Published: 2021-04-06 - Modified: 2022-11-21 - URL: https://american-axes.com/press-release-axe-throwing-coming-to-the-works/ - Categories: Axe Throwing ATLANTA, GA.

Its new location will be conveniently located between two other Atlanta-based favorites in Dr. Scofflaw Brewing and Fox Brothers Bar-B-Q. With an expected opening in the Summer of 2021, American Axes is excited to bring its amazing entertainment experience to The Works. “We could not be more excited about expanding our business to the Upper Westside and finding our home at The Works with neighbors like Scofflaw and Fox is like a dream come true,” said... --- - Published: 2020-11-11 - Modified: 2022-11-21 - URL: https://american-axes.com/selecting-the-right-axe/ - Categories: Axe Throwing American Axes loves when people bring in their own axes. The overwhelming majority of our customers use the axes that we provide which are 12-inch wooden handled hatchets. We chose these types of axes because they are safer to throw for beginners. With most of the weight situated at the top, it is unlikely the axe will bounce back if you happen to throw it wrong. You likely have seen the infamous axe throwing video and while you have to do everything wrong for that to happen, American Axes is not in the business of providing DIY haircuts.

Thomas asked me, “What’s your pivot? ” – a question that I did not really have a great answer to at that time. I was just trying to survive. Our business was open for less than 3 months before having to temporarily shut our doors for the pandemic – a business that is 100% dependent on people coming to be entertained by us.

In the video, a young woman throws the axe so hard that the handle hits the ground so hard it then hits against the target and flies back at her. Luckily, she is able to dodge it and avoids getting a nice haircut. So, what went wrong? Well, what didn’t?

I was in my living room working away on a new sampling project when I received the call letting me know that I was being let go. Just like that, my life changed after five plus years working with this company. It was a small to mid-size marketing agency that was bought and sold several times during my tenure and eventually became part of a major corporation. They decided to reduce their workforce by 800 people in advance of an IPO. A term that came up frequently... --- ---
