What’s the Wrist Locks connection to Keith?
Keith Pascal wrote Wrist Locks: From Protecting Yourself to Becoming an Expert in 1999. It quickly became a critically acclaimed martial success. The book combined wrist locks from a variety of styles and included some author-invented locks, too.
And the book took its reader beyond technique. Counters, reversals and practical usage were emphasized.
Keith wrote articles and a few ebooklets on more wrist locks and joint locks.
Then, in 2010, he revised and updated Wrist Locks.
This new, soft-cover edition, features some new locks, 423 new photographs, and two never-before-seen bonus chapters.
For years, Keith Pascal tried to deny the title of being a wrist locks expert. Now, modestly, he admits that he might have a “thing or three to say on the subject.”
