Urban Axes - Axe Throwing

Dylan made our experience so much fun!

The place seemed okay but we had an unhinged instructor. He immediately started bragging about how many people he’s trained and started profusely swearing and acting all buddy-buddy even though we had just met. He was loud, unclear, and generally acted unsafe. For example, he would approach people about to throw unannounced to correct their form, while they were about to throw. We never learned about a blood circle or the “got it” communication necessary for handling sharp objects. He would routinely wield axes outside of the throwing zones to demonstrate, and we all had to back up in response to this (not being told beforehand).

He was also loud and did not solicit questions from anyone, leaving us to ask among ourselves. When I did ask a question, he said “hey you’re not running this thing, I am” and told me to keep throwing axes and did not answer my question.

He verbatim said “I am crazy, don’t mess with me. My boss hates me” while wielding an axe.

I can’t think of worse qualities for an instructor with dangerous equipment: hubris, narcissism, and general disregard for safety.

All of us in the group felt extremely anxious when he was around yelling at us about our form, and had a lot more genuine fun and felt safer when he was helping another group.

The axe throwing part was fun, but this guy is genuinely a liability to this place and its business.

Went to Urban Axes for a surprise birthday party. Called ahead to ensure that it was kept a surprise, the person who answered the phone was amazing and willing to keep the surprise. When we got to the throwing bays with the coach, the coach ruined the surprise after we had been told that he knew to keep the secret. He asked when the rest of the party was arriving, giving away the fact that more people were coming. In addition to ruining the surprise he was condescending and didn't bring an upbeat vibe that was necessary to keep everyone in the party engaged. We probably will return but would request a different coach.

We recently visited Urban Axes, and unfortunately, we were extremely dissatisfied with the service. Drew who was our coach behaved unprofessionally: he sometimes threw axes on our behalf without our consent to show off in front of other people. To make matters worse, at the end of the day, he approached us demanding additional tips via Venmo, despite the fact that we had already left a 20% tip during the payment.

This kind of behavior is absolutely unacceptable and reflects poorly on your establishment. If you want to improve your service and retain customers, we strongly suggest addressing the issue with this particular staff member. Your club has potential, but incidents like this make it hard to recommend.
