Abstract
“Rogues knew a good deal about lock-picking long before locksmiths discussed it among themselves.” —A. C. Hobbs Have you ever found yourself locked out/in/up? Perhaps you “secure” things with a padlock? Then you should probably know how good these physical security measures really are. Locksport is about understanding and overcoming physical security mechanisms in a non-destructive manner, and impressing your friends at parties (if you go to those kinds of parties.) This introductory course will teach you all about the inner workings of padlocks, as well as the basic picking techniques that will get you started on your way to lock-thlete glory.
