 A GOOD INTRO TO VARIOUS LOCKING TECHNIQUES. July 6, 2006
One of the better locking books out there. Has a decent amount of locking techniques without becoming overly complicated. The photos in the book are of good size and clear and consice, unlike some of the other books on the market where you have to strain eyes and brain to figure how they aquired that particular lock. Although I do not train in a Kata based system. He makes valid points not unlike Dillman about the proper use of Kata. There are 11 wrist-locking techniques, 29 staight arm locks some on the ground, some standing up, 14 bent arm locks again some standing some on the ground, 3 transitioning training drills. Sorry no finger locking techniques, for that get a hold of Prof. Jays Small Circle Jujitsu, or any good Chin na book. Not a bad book to add to your locking library.
 A GREAT Intro to Arm Locks! June 15, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Iain Abernethy is pretty much "re-inventing" karate by returning to karate's roots. His bunkai (analysis) of the kata (forms) shows many moves that have lain "hidden" within the forms, exiled there by a generation or two of teachers who were taught to not ask questions. This book emphasizes the arm locks, shoulder locks and wrist grabs that ARE in the forms along with many different approaches to utilizing these techniques. Plenty of clear pictures grace the pages, along with concise descriptions and together they create a hands on learning experience that won't leave you confused. This is a book for the karate student who gets up out of his chair and applies these techniques!
Just about any Iain Abernethy production, be it book or DVD, is worth buying as his "new" approach really has opened the eyes of students AND teachers around the world.
