Easy Stik Pro The first time I saw the Easy Stick Pro was in an advertisement in Black Belt magazine. The shape of the knife instantly reminded me about the ancient Chinese throwing darts. Because I'm teaching Chinese Gong-Fu (Qi Xing Tang Lang Quan/7-Star Praying Mantis Kung Fu) I was really interested in putting my fingers on this knife. In my 25 years of practising the Martial Arts, Iīve thrown a lot of knives and other items. As a matter of fact, my Father, who was a German Army Veteran of World War II, introduced me to the beautiful art of knife throwing. So over the years I threw everything I could put my fingers on, like: folding knifes, throwing stars, kitchen knives, screw drivers, Balisongs, long nails, Japanese and Chinese throwing darts, and so on. As years passed by I was really getting good at my distance, but everybody who throws knives knows, as soon as you change your favourite distance you start to get in trouble with hitting the target in the right way. Especially when the target (or you) is moving! And now somebody proclaimed that his knife is going to stick all the time, no matter how you throw it?! I had to see it to believe... So I contacted Clyde Hoch via E-Mail. He appeared to be a nice and friendly person. As a matter of fact he was sending me a sample of his knife, a T-shirt and an instructional tape to Germany for free!!! When the Easy Stick Pro arrived, I couldnīt wait to unwrap the parcel and use the knife. The first thing I thought when I saw the knife up close was, "The size and the shape are perfect!"  (Here is the Easy Stik-Pro right out of the package.) After holding the Easy Stick Pro in my hand a second thought appeared: The weight is also perfect! So now we came to the fun part: THROWING! I couldnīt believe it-it doesnīt matter which distance or throwing style you use. The Easy Stick Pro will stick all the time!!! Even my girl-friend, who never ever had thrown a knife before, was hitting the target with full power and the Easy Stick Pro was sticking all the time! After a short while I was starting to get fancy: Cartwheel throws, rolling forward/backward throws, jump kicks combined with throws... the knife was sticking all the time! It doesnīt matter if you or the target is moving-the Easy Stick Pro will stick! The thing I like the best about the knife is the impact when it is hitting the target!! Cause of the perfect balanced tip the blade will always, even if you just hold the knife with two fingers and throw it with no power, stick deep in the target. Another thing I like about the Easy Stick Pro is that it comes together with a leather sheath. So you can put the knife right on your belt. For me as a Martial Arts Instructor the Easy Stick Pro is the perfect throwing knife! Nobody has to worry about distance, rotations, how to grab the knife and so on. You just have to worry, like always, about aiming. There is no frustration for beginners anymore - just fun!!  (Here is the Easy Stik Pro and the Easy Stik Pro Magnum!) Especially in a self-defense situation; donīt misunderstand me, I would never throw my weapon away; but if I ever would do so for self-defense, the Easy Stick Pro would definitely be my choice! Iīve introduced the Easy Stick Pro to my students and everybody was amazed. A couple of them have already ordered their own Easy Stick Pro! I have to thank Clyde Hoch again for producing such a beautiful thrower! Thanks a lot!!!
