“Zen and the Art of Hammer Throwing” Koji Murofushi On how to continue improving: “Feeling is
key…Perhaps feeling is missing”

Starting winds and entry (for a right handed thrower)
Establish the axis (find your center) Move the hammer around the axis Right to Left Orbit Relaxation Constant tension (in the wire, between the ball and
the thrower; the arms are an extension of the wire)

Through the turns To accelerate the ball, with each right foot contact the
thrower works the ground and sits back against the ball
Let it run! The ball is allowed to move out and around the left side and pulls the thrower into the next turn
Run down the stairs! (as the ball is rising to its “high point” the thrower stays “down”; and takes a step to complete the turn)

Rhythm Acceleration Increase ball speed with every wind & every turn Each wind & each turn is a “pulse” or a “beat” Slow to fast Visualization-picturing the throw, rehearsing the
rhythm, feeling the “woosh” in your mind are very valuable!

Drilling and throwing from various surfaces Broom throwing
Hammers can be made from many things The bottom line is moving whatever you are holding
onto from right to left; maintain your center; let it pull you into the turns-FEEL the OUTWARD PULL around your left and toward the direction of the throw, step over (“close the hip” against it), and repeat
Air throwing (Koji) Move your hands-move the air-feel the “WOOSH”

Wind-Unwind (like a spring!) Push-Follow (Move it! Chase it!) Let it run! Let the ball take you around Left, left, left! Long (and loose) around the left Out and around (to move the hammer out and away
from your center, you must be opposite or against the hammer)

The hammer throw is “a different animal” It is the only throw event where the athlete
puts the implement in front of the system to throw farther!
Speed of Release? 65mph! Outward Force? 800lbs+! Nothing else comes close!
Feel the ball focus! Hammer throwers must always return to
“Zen”
