Question about throw barb and weapon mastery

So I was wondering since theres a throwing mastery, for an axe class weapon for example does adding skills into axe mastery also increase stats or is it specific? So something like throwing mastery + dagger class for a flying knife.Wasnt sure if this worked together

If you melee its axe etc, if you throw it its throwing mastery. They cannot both be used in the same action.

dang lol
