About the Author
About Keith Pascal, the author of Wrist Locks:From Protecting Yourself to Becoming an Expert

From age six through his teens, Keith Pascal was involved with Judo, Tae Kwon Do, and Shotokan. He settled on his current system in 1980. He is certified to instruct in the Twin Dragons Style of Gung Fu, a system that incorporates the principles of Bruce Lee.

Keith is Keith is also the editor of one of the longest-running martial-arts ezines on the Net, Martial Arts Mastery.

The humurous yet to-the-point teaching style revealed in his book came into being in his garage, where he still teaches a group of martial artists. But his teaching expertise is more than just "garage born."

He started teaching magic lessons both out of the back of the magic shop, which he co-owned, and for the Eugene Parks and Rec. Department while still in his teens. In his mid twenties, he taught martial arts, at night, in the back of the bookstore which succeeded the magic shop.

Returning to College on a Graduate Teaching Fellowship, he taught both Italian and Spanish for the University of Oregon while earning his M.A. in Spanish and the Art of Teaching. He built a career and a reputation in high-school teaching for over a decade.

This year, he is writing about the martial arts full time. Keith Pascal's goal is to give his readers, and his students, an edge. His methods are unique, and they work.

Decent.
It was a decent book, but there are others better I believe in the chin -na instructional books. Chin Na in my opinion is the absolute best when it comes to the joint-locking arts.

Great addition to a locksmiths library.
1st Id like to say this was a great revised edition. It is a solid book printed on quality paper jam pack w/ nuggets of insiteful wisdom on becoming a master wrist locker. The photos are of him instead of drawing like in his last book. They are very clear and concise in their demoing the techs. I really liked his lock flow pattern. It was dfficult to make out in the older copy but not so in this one. It also has some nice lock flow reversals that are a nice way to warm up a class to while you get some muscle memory reps in. he also does a better job in explaining the tech to overcome the resistor known as fist circling.Yes the book is pricey but it is a specialty book. He does a great job in explaining all the locks not like other books where they only show the physical action being performed. He also promptly answered any and all questions i sent over to him.
I rate this 5 sankyo wrist locks up !!!!! kudos mr.kip
