Lesson 1: Hold the Axe Correctly
It's not just about holding the axe, it's about feeling the axe. You want to get a good grip, a firm hold. Like you're holding a delicate Fabergé egg.
- Make sure the V-groove of the axe head is facing away from your face.
- Keep your thumb on top of the handle for balance and control.
Common Mistakes:
Don't be that guy who's always dropping the axe. That's just embarrassing.
Lesson 2: Swinging the Axe
It's all about the wrist action, baby! You want to swing that axe like you're conducting a symphony.
- Keep your elbow slightly bent, like you're giving the axe a big hug.
- Follow through with your swing, don't just stop at the top.
