“Knife throwing is the
fastest growing sport
world wide.”
It is not a hard day on the job for Adam Celadin to run up a tree, repel airborne
at 2 meters, and then throw a knife perfectly into his target. He’s made for pirate
movies, and interstitial shots for beer commercials. When he lands, his trademark
phrase, “H-e-l-l-o my friends!” booms with his big smile! Adam Celadin is definitely
boundry-less, like his hero, Jackie Chan. Like Jackie Chan, he endures his scars; one
nearly fatal accident found him with bruised and bloodied ribs. He laughs it off
as he evenly tempered shows a “hit list” of misses. He studies his mistakes—true
world championship. Adam Celadin exudes good will, honesty, and integrity.
VZ-58 is a knife used by his mentor, the
great Czech thrower, Pepe. Celadin is
always appreciative of this man who can
stick a bayonet blade from more than fifteen
meters, bulls eye smack center. They
met on a TV show Celadin produced
(Destruction Allowed) and tested a highspeed
camera on. His concise description
of Pepe “awesomely inspiring” is exact.
Celadin felt “It is the thing I was looking
to do for a long time. I practice every day
now, for four years!”
His enthusiasm is genuinely infectious. Celadin is not only from the punk skateboarding
ethic of Tony Hawk cool, Adam Celadin is a determined badass like most
don’t know. He can throw anything. A dramatic “thunk” announces the score.
Adam Celadin is a magic of mind and body perfectly united—in three places in
space simultaneously!
He hosted a live web stream showing his rare knives, some given to him by other
world champions. He knows that prehistoric man used knives the same way we
do now. The point (!) knife throwing has been around a long time. You will understand
this branch of magic, where knives seemingly appear magically in targets;
the depth of the knife thrower is a lifestyle. Now connected worldwide through
social media and beyond—knife throwing is the fastest growing sport worldwide.
Celadin has mastered his lifestyle: a video producer with an ancient art and
major “master status”! His take on life and appreciation using the Internet as his
platform, is championship product. If the word “content” intrigues you—this guy
breathes it. Major blade maker Cold Steel covets his endorsement. He has refreshing,
frank, positive opinions.
