Woodchopping is a uniquely Australian sport that is enjoyed by competitors and spectators throughout the world. It provides opportunities for individuals to challenge themselves both physically and mentally, whilst offering the thrill of competition in front of enthusiastic crowds. Woodchoping has a rich Australian history that echoes back to the timber workers of Australia's settlement. The underhand, standing block, tree felling and sawing events still use the techniques employed by these pioneers. The sport is family centred and accessible to competitors anywhere from 9 to 90 years of age, and skill levels from novice to world championship level. How do you become a woodchopper? The challenging combination of balance, hand-eye coordination, strength and stamina whilst weilding razor sharp axes makes technique a key component of Woodchopping. It requires a personal committment and a great deal of training. After an initial workshop and introduction to the sport, beginner competitors are usually paired with a mentor / coach to guide them through their long term training. Whilst wood chopping is primarily an individual sport, it is important that an experienced axeman be on hand to offer advice on improving technique and training safely.
