George ‘Mr Cool’ Leeming

I started Knife and Axe throwing in 2012 and joined KATTA in Oct 2012. I was hooked from day one. In 2013 I became a member IKTHOF and in 2014 I became a IKTHOF master thrown weapons instructor I am also a certified sport throwing instructor for KATTA UK and I’m proud to say I’ve introduced many people to sport that gone on to win many competitions nationally and internationally 

I am also a co-founder of KATTA UK which is growing from strength to strength.

I taken part in some amazing competitions and got my knife name ‘Mr Cool’ at the Eurothrowers World Championships which was held in the UK in 2015 which was a fantastic eye opener to the sport.

I became world number one for long distance axe in 2018 and still hold the the British record for long distance axe I still compete in as many competitions as possible and still love this sport.

I’m also the owner of GJL COOL BLADES this has been an amazing journey and long may it continue
