Axe Throwing in Madrid: 2-Hour Class with AXEperts

Throw axes, learn technique, drink at the bar between rounds

Axe throwing class in Madrid runs for just under two hours with a live guide teaching you how to throw, then giving you time to refine your aim, experiment with different axes or master new techniques while the bar stays open. The guide speaks English or Spanish, and the minimum age is 18.

The experience

Madrid's axe throwing venues have become the place to go when you want to do something with your hands instead of watching. An AXEpert meets you at the start and teaches the fundamentals (grip, stance, release), so you're not guessing. Once you've landed a few throws, the session opens up: you can spend the rest of the time chasing better accuracy, picking up heavier or lighter axes to feel the difference, or working through different throwing styles. The whole thing runs under two hours, which means you get real instruction and real practice without the day disappearing.

The bar is there the whole time, so you can order a drink between rounds and watch other people throw. That's part of the setup. It's social, not a silent drill. You're working toward becoming what the operator calls an AXE-PERT, which is the kind of goal that makes the session feel like progress instead of just swinging something at a target. Closed-toe shoes are required, and the space is wheelchair accessible with accessible surfaces throughout. The minimum age is 18, though children from 7 can attend with a parent present.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

What does the AXEpert actually teach me during the session?

The AXEpert starts by teaching you how to throw an axe (the mechanics of grip, stance and release), then you have the rest of the session to apply that instruction however you want: refining your aim, trying different axes to feel how weight changes your throw, or learning alternative throwing techniques.

Can I bring friends and all throw at the same time?

Yes, the session is designed for groups, and you can practice together during the two-hour window. The bar service available means you can order drinks and socialize between rounds.

What do I need to wear or bring?

Closed-toe shoes are required. Everything else (the axes, instruction, and access to the throwing area) is included in the session.

Is this accessible if I use a wheelchair?

The venue is wheelchair accessible with accessible surfaces throughout all areas, and transportation options nearby are also wheelchair accessible.

What's the age requirement?

The minimum age is 18 to throw axes independently. Children from 7 years old can attend if accompanied by a parent.
