Tiptoeing to Tranquility is Hot Off the Press
Kerwin Benson Publishing hasn't yet gathered any testimonials for Tiptoeing to Tranquility. You could be the first: email me your testimonial, here. In the meantime, here are some testimonials on other works by Keith Pascal (We have hundreds more, not posted. That would be overkill.)
Testimonials for Wrist Locks:
"Wrist Locks: From Protecting Yourself to Becoming an Expert is a book that keeps on giving. Pascal not only teaches wrist and arm locking, but he tells you when to use them and what to do if something goes wrong.When you've learned all the locks shown, Pascal shows you how to develop an endless number of new ones.
And he does it with a sense of humor... good book. Very Good!"
Steve Golden: Personal Bruce Lee student, Original Ed Parker Black Belt, and Top Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do Instructor
'Kip' Pascal has produced an outstanding book, "Wrist Locks: From Protecting Yourself to Becoming an Expert!"
This book will answer more questions about wrist locks, than you even knew existed, and more then that, it will lead you to ask even further questions in your quest to become an expert in applying this fantastic segment of the martial arts!
I was very impressed with Mr. Pascal's 'way' of writing, and you will love his sense of humor, and of course the clear, and precise drawings help even the beginner get a quick grasp on the finer points of applying the locks.
The book has become one of the most important books in my martial arts library, and I continue to use it as a reference. I highly encourage you to order this book -- you owe to yourself!
BIG Sean Madigan, JKD Instructor and author/moderator of one of the most informative Bruce Lee sites on the Net
If you have never experimented with wrist locks you should definitely get this book. If you know some locks but don't use them, this book will inspire you to practice them and make them work.
Easy and enjoyable to read, the author's enthusiasm is infectious. You get some good moves and tips, plus plenty of ideas to think about and figure out for yourself.
You will definitely not be disappointed by this book.
Most impressive of all, the author invites you to e-mail him with any questions or comments, and actually replies every time! This gives you the feeling he is genuinely interested in helping you with your martial art, and not just trying to make money from you."
Keith Wallace: Martial Artist, JKD Student, Software Developer - England, UK
I would highly recommend "Wrist Locks" to anyone who is in to self improvement, whether experienced in the martial arts or not. This book is a winner, and will be in my library for years to come..well done."
Steve Johnson: magazine manager, green belt in judo (Canada)
Some of my favorite quotes come from younger martial artists (under 21). Here are just a couple:
"In his book Wrist Locks, Pascal shows in a step-by-step, how-to manner the tricks that every martial artist needs in order to defend him/herself against any assailant.
This is the most informative, educational, and entertaining book I have ever read."
Ben Rayack, Martial Artist
Testimonials for 10 Days to Better Knife Fighting
"The e-book 10 Days to Better Knife Fighting by Keith Pascal is well worth the money."I've studied knife work by book, video, and seminar for ten to twelve years. The training in 10 Days to Better Knife Fighting is simple, logical and fairly complete. Using the slash and thrust exercise as a base for training, makes for steady progress. This also gives the permutations a common thread for understanding.
"The safety factor is often repeated, and there are enough variations and exercises for everyone."
...following the guidelines in this book will definitely improve your skills and give you an edge , especially for the amount you spend. Videos, DVDs, and seminars cost a minimum of $40-$50 each!
This e-book is definitely worth the money.
Mike Rooney 5TH Dan (5th degree black belt), Kempo Instructor, Burlington Vermont
He tells it like it is with his own style of writing -- with humor injected to keep things even more interesting.
I recommend Mr. Pascal to anyone wanting good, realistic martial arts instruction in any format.
-Sensei J. Richard Kirkham B.Sc, Head Instructor Universal System of Self-Defense
"I have purchased several of your books now. I have been extremely pleased with all of them.
"10 Days to Better Knife Fighting did not disappoint.
"You have packed more precise information into 211 pages than I thought possible.
"The skills, drills and exercises in the book are efficient, accurate and to the point. No fluff. No hype, no mysticism, just real-life information that could save someone's life. It can be a bad world out there. It's hard to describe the pleasure I feel in being able to share your knowledge with my training partner, my 17 year old son.
"As you say in your introduction, you don't teach 'a complete style in a book.' No you don?t.
"What you teach are real techniques, real skills, and real methods of improving them in a systematic way.
"Thanks for writing this. It is badly needed."
Paul Stevens [Look for Paul's Newsletter on Aiki-Jiu-Jitsu.]
Testimonials for Coin Snatching
"To any of the naysayers, I encourage you to give this [book] some serious thought."I have absolutely nothing to do with this book. I'd never even heard of Kip before...
"... the next question: Is the book any good?
"Without hesitation, I give Coin Snatching: The Reputation Builder a 10/10.
Kip has obviously been a teacher and it shows. The book is entertaining, informative, and well laid out ....
I can't praise it enough. Maybe it's because I've been obsessed with this trick since I was a kid, but this book goes into my prized possession section.
Jamie D. Grant, Columnist for The Magic Cafe'
Kip Pascal¹s new book is full of in the hand astonishment.²

Testimonials for Martial Arts Mastery
"Keith Pascal's 'Martial Arts Mastery' is a virtual library of useful information. This e-zine contains valuable tips, tricks, and training advice throughout the always thought-provoking content. "Keith Pascal writes in a distinctive, insightful, direct style that gets to the 'meat' very quickly without much embellishment. Readers are always treated to his proven analysis on techniques offered within the e-zine. Then, he makes us think -- an altogether underdeveloped Martial skill."The format is plain and simple -- WYSIWYG. The information is Timely, Informative, Efficient, Effective.
"Keith Pascal's 'Martial Arts Mastery' sets the standard for a Martial Arts E-zine."
-- M Grube: Consultant, (Hawaii)
"What's so good about Martial Arts Mastery? To begin with, even though it is heavily JKD influenced, it isn't a fanzine.
"Martial Arts Mastery effectively expands and extends the legacy and teachings of Bruce Lee without sinking into hero worship. The author, Keith Pascal, is wise enough to know there are many paths to wisdom, and Martial Arts Mastery incorporates techniques from a variety of martial arts.
"Martial Arts Mastery is also unusual for the wide range of topics it covers, including stances and timing, boxing versus the martial arts, weapons versus unarmed fighting, and many others.
"However, if I had to point out the biggest thing separating Martial Arts Mastery from other martial arts E-zines, it is that Mr. Pascal really cares. He cares about the martial arts and the readers of Martial Arts Mastery.
"Keith doesn't just read letters, he really answers them with deep, well thought out and researched replies. To tell the truth, I don't see how publishing Martial Arts Mastery can be worth it for him, given the amount of time he obviously puts into it, but I hope it keeps going forever!
-- James McGill, TKD Black Belt and Self Defense researcher (Kobe, Japan)
"The articles are full of tips and tricks. Often it's a simple tactic that you may never have thought of, and you can incorporate it immediately into your training.
"Sometimes it's an interesting idea or concept that you have to think about, and figure the practical application out for yourself. Every martial artist should be aiming to learn more - the weekly installments provide good food for thought, regardless of what style you study.
"You should take advantage of the sound and practical information that is on offer - especially as it's free.
-- Keith Wallace: Martial Artist, JKD Student, Software Developer ( England, UK)
"Actually I'm not a martial artist , just some gal looking for advice on self-defense, and he even took the time to respond by email to my very typical questions on the "best martial art."
"Also Keith doesn't have tons of links to ads on his website; some e-zines seem to advertise anything without substance.
"Of course I didn't take the JKD articles too seriously, until I joined an aikido school and then was told "these techniques may not work for self defense outside the dojo" or "you'll have to train for many many years."
"Okay so I paid fat membership fees and bought a uniform, and am now looking to join a JKD school. - So, I should have taken Keith's rantings more seriously. Pity you don't have a school in Toronto, Keith!"
--Irene Chan (Toronto, Canada)
"Although I signed up for this e-zine just a short while ago, each issue I received was worth every penny (Ok, it's free, but every issue is definitely worth reading).
"Even though this e-zine is written by someone specialized in Jeet Kun Do, I feel it is interesting for any well rounded martial arts practitioner. Mr. Pascal has a nice writing style.
"His editorials are funny to read and after reading them, he leaves you pondering what has been discussed. He doesn't describe complete techniques or tactics in great detail, but instead gives you hints on how to execute them, and triggers your mind to think about it and encourages you to try experimenting until you have found out yourself.
"I think this is a great way to carry over ideas, since he involves you more actively in his ideas (if you are interested, that is). Of course if you have questions about things mentioned in the articles, or anything else martial arts related, you can always mail him.
"I have found Mr. Pascal to be extremely helpful whenever I need things clarified. "
--Dimitri Woei, Martial Artist (The Netherlands)
