Erle continues with this series teaching the exact way to perform real double push hands. On this volume he teaches the passive and active change of sides as well as some handy self defence applications from this way of push hands.

MTG344
Dim-Mak: The Most Practical and Most Deadly Point Strikes and Combinations from Dim-Mak: Volume Two

We continue with this series showing the most deadly and practical Dim-Mak strikes. On this volume Erle also begins the Wudang two and three person Stick Dim-Mak training sets. This volume covers the ST9 points and their “allies”.

At last, Erle Montaigue has finally put onto DVD the brilliant Baguazhang Pole Form. Unlike the Bagua Staff form which is based upon the Linear Bagua Form, this Pole form is based solely upon the Classical Bagua Circular form. The pole is heavier and taller than the Staff Form Pole and is an excellent body building form as well as for self defence (if one were able to carry it in the street nowadays). Broken into 8 “Pole Changes” in the same way that the Bagua Empty hand circular form is, this form gives you all of the body work for the self defence area. It tones up all of the important muscle groups for fighting.

MTG342
The Special Energy Flows On the 8 Extra Meridians in Yang Lu-ch’an’s Form: Volume Two

Erle continues this series to the end of the first third of Yang Lu-ch’an’s form. More volumes will be added soon. This series was taken from Erle’s annual Summer camp in Rostock Germany in July 2008.

MTG341
The Special Energy Flows On the 8 Extra Meridians in Yang Lu-ch’an’s Form: Volume One

This is an exciting area of your Tai Chi training as it presents for the first time, the special Qi flows along the 8 Extra Meridians! There are two types of energy flows in the body during training in this form. There is the “ACTIVATION” of the Qi postures which activate the Qi at the 12 main meridians during training and there are the “Special Energy Flows” along the 8 extra meridians. The 12 Main energy flows heal the body mainly while the 8 extra meridian flows give you the internal and external power over very short distances. When one’s training is beginning to rise to a more advanced “Small Frame” level, you will begin to feel these energy flows which will then change the way you will perform the postures. If one were to teach this, it would not be correct as it would be purely physical and not internal. You must wait until you have risen to that high level before the special flows will change the way you do each posture. Here, Erle teaches exactly where the energy flows for these special power moves so that the student can be aware of it once it begins. For instance, sometimes, the Qi will enter through the Yang Chiao Mei from the ground and then join with the Dai Mai meridian to cause great centrifugal power for striking etc. Volumes one and two cover the whole of the first third of the Yang Lu-ch’an form, also covered are some nice power Qigong methods.

Dim-Mak: The Most Practical and Most Deadly Point Strikes and Combinations from Dim-Mak: Volume One. SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Here, Erle Montaigue begins a new and exciting area of training; that of Dim-Mak and the most easily accessible and practical points to strike to gain the most effect. On this volume 6 very violent self defence methods are taught all aimed essentially at the CV22 point with peripherals including GB3, ST9, GV15 and other extremely dangerous Dim-Mak points. Also included is Fa-Jing Testing which is the only way to test one’s advancement in this explosive part of one’s training. Fa-Jing is the motor of all Internal Fighting Systems without which we would not even have a fighting art. It is the explosive attacking method that teaches us how to gain great power from only a few inches away. This is Erle Montaigue getting back to what he does best and what he is known for. Real Self Defence methods, practical and violent. They HAVE to be violent!

MTG338:
Push Hands: This Is How We Do It. Volume One: Double Push Hands SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

On this DVD, Erle Montaigue takes you from scratch, exactly how to perform REAL push hands. Not the silly, “you push me, I push you” type where both partners have huge low open stances but rather a self defence type of push hands, that teaches you how to fight at a sub-conscious level. The power for striking and defence comes from push hands and the more you practice, the more powerful you will become. All of the correct muscle groups are exercised for self defence and not for competition. This series is a must for anyone wishing to advance in their Tai Chi training and indeed in their self defence ability over-all. Anyone, from any system will gain great power by practising this method.

Erle Montaigue carries on with the series teaching the Small Frame Old Yang Style Tai Chi including many of the "Qi Activation and Manifestation" movements. Erle begins with the posture known as the 2nd Stork Spreads Wings in the 2nd third and finishes just after the first set of kicks in the 2nd third.

The Tai Chi Cornerstones are the building blocks for advanced Tai Chi ch'uan practice. The basic form gives you the foundation, then the cornerstones give you the solid corners on which to build your "house". There are 4 cornerstones and all are based upon the Tai Chi Classics left to us by the Masters of old. We have the "Crown being pulled up by string" which is the first and most important as it teaches us exactly where to place the weight. Then we have the legs, the waist and the hands. All 4 are then joined and co-ordinated so that your Tai Chi builds into your advanced practice.

Erle Montaigue teaches the two person training set from Bagua from the 7^th Palm, an excellent way to learn about reflexive attack & defence. Also covered is a nice Palm No. 3 or Dragon Palm Power Qigong giving the ability to perform fa-jing energy strikes. For the first time ever published are the Bagua Animals Power Qigongs of Dragon which gives you motivation skills whether to defend yourself or to write that symphony! The Lion Power Qigong is also taught which gives you the ability to go into the Reptile Brain mode for serious self defence situations.

In this volume, Erle Montaigue begins also the Internal Side of the Internal Martial/Healing arts with some powerful Qigong methods to bring the Qi into the hands for fighting and healing. Also covered is Wudang “Insect Boxing”, warm up exercises and striking methods. Fa-jing showing some new ways to gain this explosive force, plus fighting methods.

MTG333:
Wudang Knife Fighting Methods V. 4 (See also MTG242, MTG243, MTG246 for the other 6 Wudang Knife Sets)

This is the final in the series of how to fight with a knife. Sets 7 & 8 are taught on this volume. It is not only for self defence using a knife but also how to move the body for real self defence methods and using fa-jing with a knife. How to de-bone, stick, pierce, slice, ice-pick etc. Also great for cardiac exercise.

Erle carries on with teaching how to use the internal systems for self defence in the real world. How to gain the power, fighting against multiple opponents, training methods, Chee-Sau, Knife & Stick Fighting methods etc.

MTG331:
Tai Chi: This is How We Do it, Volume 3: Plus Qi Activation & Manifestation

This DVD carries on from the first two volumes of the series and deals with the small frame advanced method of learning the Yang Lu-ch'an Old style Tai Chi form. (See MTG313 and 314). Erle also covers and continues with the "Qi ACtivation & Manifestation" series whereby we take each pf the Old style postures and use one hand to activate the Qi for healing while the other hand is doing the healing. This is an exciting area of one's Tai Chi training.

This is an exciting area of one's Baguazhang training as it involves very advanced methods of doing the Bagua Linear Form. Here we learn how to use this great form as Qigong in order to completely re-balance the internal Qi. Excellent for anti-depression etc.
We also learn that this form, when done in a different way can be used to build body muscle for the self defence arts. Doing this form at this more explosive level is like doing an hour at the gym. Excellent for self defence as it build all the correct muscle groups for fighting.
See and ARTICLE on this: This form is also part of the "Qi Activation and Manifestation" method, where we are able to actually use the postures in certain ways to heal others in a full therapy for various disease and body states. You can read an ARTICLE Here:

The Physical Side of the Internal Fighting Systems with Erle Montaigue. Volume 16: The Secret Yang Family Houses/Rings No. 5

This DVD titles also comes from Camp 2007 in Rostock Germany where Erle Montague gave one of his many impromptu and unexpected lessons after dinner one evening. This covered some deep insights into Qigong, how it works to heal the body and also to gain power from the backbone. The Push Hands is something close to Erle's heart as his ideas and experience only ever lean to the real world self defence methods gained from push hands. No long open stances, just standing there as if you were in the street.

MTG326
Qi Activation & Manifestation Using Yang Lu-ch'an's Form Volume Two. 1 Hour and 15 minutes.

Quite an exciting area of one's advanced Tai Chi training and in fact any internal martial/healing arts training. This is where we learn about how the hands in particular work in activating and manifesting Qi for healing and especially for medical Qigong methods. You never notice it when you see some advanced Tai Chi Master practice, however, one of his or her hands will be activating the Qi by moving over the Tantien in a certain manner while the other hand is manifesting that activation for healing on another person. This set was made at Erle Montaigue's annual summer camp in Rostock Northern Germany in August of 2007 over 5 days. Please read an article on this here: http://www.taiji-qigong.co.uk/Free_To_Download/Erle's%20Articles/Articles/tai_chi_commect.htm This covers how Baguazhang does the same thing, but the principles are all the same.

MTG325
Qi Activation & Manifestation Using Yang Lu-ch'an's Form Volume One. 1 hour and 30 minutes.

One of the nicest Bagua Animal forms ever. You will feel the benefits both to your fighting skill s as well as to you own wellbeing and positive mind state. Combine this with the Bagua linear form and you will be flying for the rest of the day. it is just such a positive set of movements, it just makes one feel great! It works upon the Gall Bladder, Colon and Pancreas in the body and as the Gall Bladder meridian is the longest, covering the body from head to toe, the whole body is toned up when you practice this form.

The Unicorn is of the clouds and earth, he turns like a tornado and the organs affected are the whole right side of the abdomen including Gall Bladder, Colon and Pancreas. He is regal and powerful attacking with front hooves as well as rear. The Unicorn’s family member is the ‘Mother’.

Walk the circle once in a counter clockwise direction. Take an inner L step to the centre as your body gyrates out of the circumference and your both arms circle CW to the L and upward and continue that circle downward. Take a L slap step on the circumference as both palms knife edges touching, gouge upward.

Open both palms slightly as if grabbing both of the attacker’s arms and then thrust the R palm under the forearm of the left, circling CW upward. The L palm will now slide off the R forearm as your R foot steps forward on the circumference and you strike with your R elbow. As you do this, your L leg will spin around to the rear, spinning on the ball of the R foot to face CCW again.

MTG323
Bagua Eagle Boxing Full Animal Form Plus Applications See an Article:

The Hawk’s element is ‘Fire’ (some people call this animal the Rooster). His body part is the eyes. His family member is the ‘Second Daughter’. He is brave and courageous and fights to the finish to save his family. Spinning & Turning over, using a chopping method is his way of fighting. This form also deals with the Liver and Kidneys. Erle Montaigue also shows the deadly and over-kill fighting methods from this animal form.

I received many requests for the stick and knife fighting methods from my "The Physical Side DVD titles to be taken off and put onto their own series. This has now been done for the first volume. I have taken the Wudang Stick and Knife Fighting Methods from MTG310, MTG311, MTG312, MTG315, MTG318 to make up this 2nd DVD title. So if you already have the series called "The Physical Side of the Internal Fighting Arts" then you will not need this series. Included on this volume are the last 3 of the Wudang Stick Fighting Methods, Nos. 10, 11 & 12.

The Physical Side of the Internal Fighting Systems with Erle Montaigue. Volume 14: The Secret Yang Family Houses/Rings No. 5

Well, Erle promised last month that the June workshop was going to concentrate on the combat aspects of our system and boy did he deliver.
The sun shone on Saturday as we traversed across the country- destination Llangadog. For once the Gods were smiling as the sun was also shining on the other side of the Brecons!
As we all huddled inside the hall, Erle started with what has now become our customary warm ups - striking the focus shields. We began with the "crane spreads wings" punch directly from our form, however, done with a slight twist. This time our so called "kill-shot" was to become our secondary shot. The primary shot would be a stun type shot followed instantly by the big guns firing!!! This really got the muscles warmed up and then Erle started "drinking" one big lump from the spitoon!!!!
Ok! If the above doesn't make sense then buy the video and you'll see what I mean - the topic turned to the Reptilian Brian (yes, that does read BRIAN - again those who were there will understand for the rest read Brain!!!). Erle talked at length about the importance of the reptilian brain during real combat and how to access this wonderful organ. After explaining the "C" back and how that linked with the reptilian brain mode, off we went again to work upon the shields to develop these ideas. The strikes again were multiple reflexive attacks in defending ourselves.
After a short break out came the bogo masks and we finally got to strike directly at our targets as opposed pulling our punches. This, again, added another dimension of reality to the training methods. As before, Erle demonstrated the attacks on Eli (and jarred his neck on a couple of occasions - healed with fatherly kisses!) before he let us loose upon one another. Also covered: Angles of attack and The Tai Chi Posture "Chee" with multiple kill methods.
As the day wore on we continued with the chin na applications, which we started last month, covering "guard your house" & "fist under elbow" as well as beginning the Hawk form of Baguazhang (more about this later). We ended the Saturday by learning a qigong which would help us develop our reptilian brain & "C" - back mode.
Thus, the day came to an end. It actually went rather quickly, as we hugged each other & shook hands firmly. Myself and Jerry in our matching purple tops - we could have been mistaken for twins in our colour coordinated training gear until someone mentioned that Jerry was white and that ended that!!!
Back we traversed across the land making a short pit stop at the Sommerfields in Llandovery, where Kam was shocked to find the checkout staff speaking - wait for it- English!!!
We arrived with our bruised and battered bodies back to Leicester, hoping to fall into a deep slumber and get some rest for the next day - did I heck!!! I ended up mowing Kam's mum's garden till 10 at night while that git went home & slept!!!
Sunday morning, the sun shone, the birds sang until that is we passed Hereford - dark clouds gathered on the Welsh borders as the summer came to an end!
Onwards we went towards Llangadog to begin another day.
Well there were a few more faces on Sunday. Erle again drank from the spitoon and we carried on from the previous day.
Yielding and understanding the classics regarding to this very misunderstood topic was flavour of the day. Again, the detail and information regarding this subject was of the highest quality, delivered in a typically Erle fashion with the aid of a Monty Python sketch!
However, all the horsing around didn't distract from the importance of understanding what it meant to yield. Erle tied this subject up beautifully by linking it's importance to the small frame form and push hands or joining hands as he prefers to call it. This was certainly an eye opener for those who perhaps haven't had the chance to do a lot of push hands etc.
Once more we linked everything into practicing our attacks using the concept of "yielding" followed by some chee sau including the reverse roll. Again, throughout, Erle emphasised the importance of the "power stance" whilst plying our trade.
We returned to the Hawk in the afternoon and continued from where we'd left off the previous day. I'd like to think that by the fourth change, we were all diving & tumbling as gracefully as the bird in question but that'd be a lie!
Jerry looked like a chick that has tumbled out of it's nest! Elliot & Neil appeared to be doing the form in synchronization, which rather resembled Come Dancing! Kam tried to film it all without switching the camera on & I, mercifully, faked an old war wound and saved myself for the attempt to come in Germany!!!
At 1.45pm, I reminded Erle he had also promised to show us, both, the yin & yang side of the Xingyi Fire Drill on the previous day, to which he replied in the way only Erle can - "Oh F**K!"
And that's how the weekend ended. Ben rummaged around for a spare tape and in ten minutes flat we had the Xingyi drill down and filmed. Most of us were brain-dead at that point, so it didn't really matter! Oh, and we had only made it 1/3 down Erle's list of things to do!!!
With broken bodies we said goodbyes, slumped into our cars and headed home. And it rained!!!!
Roll on the next session on 30th June-1st July!!
P.S. I am so knackered that it is now 1.45 in the morning and I can't sleep!!!

MTG317:
The Physical Side of the Internal Fighting Systems with Erle Montaigue. Volume 12: The Secret Yang Family Houses/Rings No. 5

Taken from Erle's Invitational Instructor only classes in Llangadog Wales.
This volume and the next volume 13 (above) include the following.
From Erle:
These classes are to teach about reflexive self defence. We do not learn about sparring or even fighting, just real self defence from a sub-conscious level. Sparring in fact is the worst thing that one can do if you wish to learn about self defence as it causes you to learn about sparring! And "Sparring" does not happen in the street, nor does tournament "fighting". Sure, if you wish to do a sport then do your tournament sparring but do not expect it to save you in a real fight! In fact, many have discovered that it is almost impossible to learn real self defence methods when they have learned and practiced tournament sparring for many years or even become World Champions etc. First real fight in the street and they go down. This is because they have never worked upon reflexive actions, they have in fact tried to use their kata as self defence! And Kata and Form are NOT for self defence, they were only ever meant to teach us how to move, well "Form" was for that as most karate schools teach that kata is for fighting!
So from now onward, this is where we take what we have already learnt in these classes and put it into the real world. The punching mitts and shields are now replaced by your body! We will be doing what we in the internal call; "attack/defence". This is where one person will gear up in protective stuff and try to knock his partner's head off! And his partner has to react reflexively and register a solid and telling blow onto the attacker's body.
Of course, this will move along very slowly as another damaging area for real self defence is going into it too soon or simply having to fight someone when you aren't ready. So do not worry, we will be taking it very slowly and those who perhaps aren't up to it yet, we will be gentle!
I will also be covering push hands, da-lu and ch'i-na along with stick fighting on a more basic "bang 'em up" level as we have now finished the twelve Wudang stick fighting methods forms.
Our multiple kill and single kill methods have now become a little more sophisticated in that we have other things to do other than just bashing the shyte out of the opponent! We still do that, but also take into account that other things might happen and we have to be aware of these. So these are incorporated into the training.
We will also continue with the developing of the "Fa-Jing Muscle" training in order to train the group of muscles particularly involved in issuing fa-jing or explosive energy.
Xingyi also gets a look in with the next of the drills covering the fire elements both yin and yang drills.
So come along as these classes are accumulative and on-going so to miss out, is to miss out!
Happy training
Erle

Here, Erle teaches the most important Bagua walking method. For the first time shown physically, the mud stepping and what it really means, why we have to walk in this way and exactly how to do it. ALso on this DVD an introduction to the "Fa-Jing Muscle", where it is and why. This group of muscles is essential for gaining power for punching and generally attacking. You cannot punch with greet power from short distances with the classic "6-pack" abs. This area will also be discussed in greater detail and exactly how to develop this muscle in the next Erle's Fighting System The Physical Side Volume.

MTG315
Erle Montaigue’s Fighting System: The Physical Side: Volume 11: Multiple Strike Kill Methods. The Secret Houses/Rings of the Yang Family: House No. 5.

See the previous volumes below for details. On this volume, Erle begins with Multiple Kill attacking methods from Baguazhang and Tai Chi, The 2nd of the Mother Applications from the Small San-Sau, Stick Fighting Methods of Wudang and a number of Qigong methods.

This series DVDs is being shot during Erle’s Invitation only instructor’s classes, the 5th of which was held in Llangadog, Wales UK 3rd and 4th of February 2007. See Below for details.
This volume takes you to the end of the first third.

This series of DVDs is being shot during Erle’s Invitation only instructor’s classes, the 4th of which was held in Llangadog, Wales UK 20th and 21st of January 2007.
The traditional way that one would learn Tai Chi, was to not speak. You would simply watch and join in behind your instructor as he would perform the form movements. This way, you would pick up a little each time physically with the sub-conscious body remembering and taking in the inner movements of the instructor. This is why they say that it took some 6 years just to learn the form. In modern times, we had to have a way to teach it a little quicker, so the form was broken down into components and taught as individual postures and movements. So you have two sides of the learning way. So I decided after 40 years of doing this stuff to take the middle road and teach this wonderful art to a handful of dedicated students, in a semi-traditional way. So we took the form and broke it down into a number of parts whereby the student would watch, then join in and allow his or her body to pick up internally what was happening. Then after some time, we would stop and take a look at this module and make any corrections and give advice before going on to the next module. This way has worked out really well with all saying that they found it challenging to leave behind old ways of learning but also very rewarding in that their body would pick it up much quicker. So here we have the first 4 modules of this method of learning, which is also a more advanced method encompassing all of "How We Do Tai Chi". The waving form, the spiral or Silk Reeling Form, the Stone Hands Form etc., This is simply How Tai Chi Is Done. It doesn't replace the old breaking it all down method of learning as most will probably wish to stick with that way. But for those who wish to take this art into the sub-conscious realms, this might prove invaluable. And even when you have already learnt the form to a degree in the old way, it is quite challenging to learn it this way and many of our most senior instructors found this very helpful to their understanding.

This series of DVDs is being shot during Erle’s Invitation only instructor’s classes, the 3rd of which was held in Bath UK 11th & 12th of November 2006. Here, Erle presents for the first time, Yang’s 5^th House, the little known physical side of the Yang Style, no BS, no mystical garbage, just excellent and practical physical stuff on gaining great power for multiple strike kill methods to all parts of the body. The Yang Shou-hou side of the Yang Family was quite hard and often, blood would be left on the floor. Gaining the power from short distances was the key to this type of training. Speed was useless unless extreme power was also present. So this series gives you that ultimate power. You will gain the confidence knowing that you can take anyone out no matter how large or powerful he is with one or two strikes.
Included on this volume:

Multiple Strike Kill Methods:
Knife and Stick Fighting, the realistic way for the street.

It’s no use learning all of the forms etc., and not knowing how to punch! And it has been our experience that not many people actually know how to punch. Sure many can line themselves up and break boards, but in the street instantly, they cannot gain the necessary power from only centre metres away to take someone out instantly with one punch. This DVD teaches how to do this.

Erle Montaigue’s Fighting System: The Physical Side: Volume 3: Multiple Strike Kill Methods. The Secret Houses/Rings of the Yang Family: House No. 5. (Part Two)

The Phoenix is that mythical bird that tries to fly into the sun. However, the Chinese Phoenix has his feet stuck to the ground so never quite gets off. He represents the Lungs and the lower lumber vertebra. His element is Wind/AIR. His attacking method is ‘windmill palm’. The family member of the Phoenix is the ‘Eldest Daughter’. The phoenix uses whatever it has to defend itself. It will use its wings/hands, beak and feet. It will use locks and holds while the feet or beak attack. So we see with this animal, some nice footwork. This form is excellent for when you are perhaps bogged down and need some motivation. The lungs are the powerhouse of the body and so this form works on the lungs thus giving great power in fighting and healing. The phoenix form makes many movements on the outside of the circle. This is the balance the Qi internally and it is this that gives you motivation from this form.

Yang Lu-ch’an’s Silk Reeling Old Style Form Final Volume 9.

This is the final in the series and takes you from the end of Volume 8 to the end of the third 3^rd. This volume is particularly beautiful as it includes some really useful and beautiful qigong methods, like the Spiral way of Slant Flying opens up the 7 Gates to spiritual Qi when done in the Spiral manner. The next postures of Fair Lady Works Shuttles, then takes that energy input and locks it in to the tantien. The 3^rd third has been really formulated to work the Qi even more so. The final moves from Step Forward to 7 Stars up to the punch after the Lotus kick really get the body working in complete harmony with the inner flow of Qi, then the explosive punch really grounds that Qi into the tantien.

Bagua Fighting: The Beginning, Volume Two.

Baguazhang is an amazing fighting system for realistic self defence. It teaches us to react at a reflex level instinctively and sub-consciously, using whatever method is suitable for that type of attack upon you. This is where Erle Montaigue learnt how to fight; the exact methods he used to take his internal arts to that higher level. On this volume, Erle takes you further into the fighting methods of Bagua, covering the very deadly methods of ‘Single Pounding Palm’, point striking and fighting techniques. This series will teach you at a reflex level how to REALLY fight rather than simply learning some kata and expecting that to help you!

MTG297
You Need This: Volume Two:
An Eclectic selection of Erle Montaigue's Fighting, Healing & training Methods:

Taken from Erle Montaigue's March 2006 workshop in London UK, This series catalogues all of those very important training and fighting methods that cannot be put into any particular category.
On this second volume, Erle covers the very important area of Sinking. Without correct sinking, we never really get to know what real internal arts are about. Sinking is the very foundation of all internal systems, but most people only ever try to get to this level at a conscious level. Balance, grounding, power, fighting ability and self healing are all enhanced when one has the ability to 'SINK'. Read an article on Sinking here.

MTG296
You Need This: Volume One:
An Eclectic selection of Erle Montaigue's Fighting, Healing & training Methods:

Taken from Erle Montaigue's March 2006 workshop in London UK, This series catalogues all of those very important training and fighting methods that cannot be put into any particular category.
On this first volume, Erle covers and teaches, the most important area of Qi Awakening using firstly, two methods, one from Bagua and one for Taiji, in order to 'wake the qi' ready for action. These are excellent methods for instance for teachers who are beginning a new (or current) class and wish to gain some cohesion between the students and a balancing of the total energy in that class. You will find that if the energy is a little low to begin with (cold), after these are given, the whole class will be 'up'.
Also included on this first volume is the way of 'bumping push hands' whereby the student learns how to sub-consciously think about multiple things at the same time and of course this is important for the fighting arts.

MTG295
Bagua Bear Boxing:

The Bear represents the Mountain. He is steadfast, powerful and one of the earth. The bear is ferocious when protecting its young, but gentle at home. His organ is the stomach so this form works upon the ST meridian mainly. The family member of the Bear is the ‘Youngest Son’. This is one of the shortest of the Full Bagua Animal forms because the Bear does not need that many techniques. So truly deadly and ferocious fighting methods are presented in this DVD title along with one of the best healing forms.

MTG294
The 10,000 Fighting Techniques of the Old Yang Style: Volume Three.

Not really 10,000, this is just the way that the Chinese have of describing that there are a lot of them. 10,000 seems to be the number that they use for everything that has to be done a lot. Here, Erle Montaigue carries on with the long awaited series on the main applications from the postures of the Yang Lu-ch'an form showing not only the basics but also the dim-mak applications following each posture. This is not meant to teach the Old Yang Style as one should already know it, it is just to demonstrate and to teach what each posture is for. On this volume Erle takes you from the posture known as High pat on Horse just before the first kicking section and up to the posture called High Pat On Horse, (but not including) in the third 3rd.

On this volume, Erle talks about the power that is gained from the Internal systems and how to gain it through various Qigong methods. Not only the physical power of being able to use fa-jing to strike with amazing power from very short distances, but mainly, the power that you can gain to help you in your daily life; how to change your circumstances; how to get things to happen. You cannot use this power to hut others or for evil reasons, only for the good of others and yourself. These internal methods will teach you how to gain this power and how to use it to change your life or to set you onto the correct path that you should be on already but perhaps may not be able to see the 'wood for the trees' so to speak.
Erle also continues on how to teach the basic form to stark beginners.

As with all of these animal forms, even in their Qi Awaking state, you must always keep in mind the animal they represent. You cannot simply do these movements as human beings. That is why the movements were formatted the way they are, so as to bring out the animal in us for self defense.

This form above all others will lead one into the contact with their ‘Reptile Brain’
Also included on this DVD are some very useful 'Lion' violent fighting methods which are not for the faint at heart!

Continuing the instructor's courses; this volume begins showing exactly how to teach the Yang Cheng-fu form, which is also pertinent to all other forms. Erle shows some of his tricks of the trade so to speak, in trying to get new students to understand how to move correctly. It's not enough to learn a form and then go out and show someone else how to do it; you must also know HOW to teach it. And this is what Erle teaches on this volume. Also covered is the continuing 'bumping arms' practice, taking you more into the advanced methods of this wonderful conditioning exercise which is great for those students beginning their Tai Chi or Bagua training as it shows them that there is another side to the internal arts other than just a dance or health exercise. Also covered is the Tai Chi Chee Sau, or Sticking Hands, adding some foot work to the basic hand movements. If you are interested in becoming an instructor or already are one, then this series is definitely for you. The form itself is covered in such detail that a ruler is almost required to get the exact positioning of the arms hands and feet. And Erle also gives his acquired anecdotes in order to teach beginners exactly how, when and where to move their hands and feet.

Erle Montaigue's Master Teaching Classes, Volume Four.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Erle Montaigue continues his excellent series on how to teach an internal martial/healing arts class. In the beginning, Erle was only concentrating upon teachers who already had experience in teaching. However, more and more beginners wanted to see what this class was all about and it has been found that they have discovered also, an excellent way to learn the internal from the ground up. In learning what the 'teacher' must know, they also learn a huge amount and gain a great insight into the whole area of learning the Internal Arts. On this volume, Erle takes you through some amazing qigong exercises that are tailored to the beginning class in order to bring the whole class into a learning phase and to concentrate the energy of that class as a whole upon what is being taught. Some excellent fighting methods are also taught as part of this way of bringing the class together.

Bagua Fighting: The Beginning, Volume One.

Baguazhang is an amazing fighting system for realistic self defence. It teaches us to react at a reflex level instinctively and sub-consciously, using whatever method is suitable for that type of attack upon you. This is where Erle Montaigue learnt how to fight; the exact methods he used to take his internal arts to that higher level. On this first volume, Erle takes you through the theory behind the way we use Bagua for fighting and how we use abstract training methods to gain a superior self defence method. He also covers the first part of 'Bagua Boxing' training with a partner where we walk the circle touching wrists using pressure launching all types of attacks and using all kinds of defensive methods from the Bagua repertoire. If you want to learn how to really fight, then this is one of the best starting places to begin.

Bagua Monkey Boxing (The Full Bagua Animal Form)

The Monkey is the closest animal to the human being and as such we are able to emulate this wonderful and deadly fighting system easier. The monkey is relentless in his attack using relaxed but deadly palm fighting methods which makes use of his very heavy arms. When you are struck by this method, it feels like a huge piece of wood has struck you. There are 8 separate sections all joined together into one beautifully flowing and powerful form. Each section has one or two 'modules' which have something in common, a way of fighting. When done correctly, this form is able to bring out the 'animal within' or the 'reptile brain' within. Once this aspect is mastered, you will have one of the most formidable fighting systems ever invented. This DVD runs for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

MTG286
The Erle Montaigue Fighting System (The Physical Side) Volume One.

Many people have asked for this series covering purely the physical movements techniques and ideas from what has become to be known as 'The Erle Montaigue Fighting System'. On this volume, Erle gives an introduction to this way of fighting which has been derived from the internal arts of Tai Chi Ch'uan and Baguazhang. He introduces the idea of using longer weapons that the attacker and making the attacker feel like there is no distance between he and you (you have struck him before he has even time to strike you). Erle covers leg attacks using your front foot and how to gain great power off of this foot. He gives some really good fighting methods using the feet. Then he goes on to begin the way of Monkey Boxing and how it really relates to human beings and how to gain the tremendous power that Monkeys have in their arms and hands. He teaches the Monkey on-guard stance as wel las the human on-guard stance and how to go into the 'reptile brain' from this stance. In a nutshell, this series teaches you how to fight like a wild animal and not like a human being!

On this volume Erle Montaigue takes you through the learning of the Phoenix, Monkey and Lion entering and fighting methods. The Monkey and Lion are just so effective as are all of them, but these two are Erle's favourites. Not only the Entering Methods, but also the basic fighting methods of each animal is shown and demonstrated. This is an excellent series for learning how to fight like an animal and getting right away from static stances and 'martial arts' applications etc.

MTG284
Erle Montaigue's Master Teaching Series for Instructors Volume 3.

On this DVD, Erle continues the excellent series for instructors. This time Erle teaches how to use your own qi or energy to hold a class together, how to manage the energy of a class, how to bring it up and how to bring it down again. How to cater to individual needs and thereby catering to the group as a whole. How to balance the energy of the whole group. You must come armed with not only your knowledge and how well you do the things you teach, but also with the ability to manage the energy of a group of 100 people. Also on this volume, Erle completes the Wudang stepping exercises with the last 4 of these excellent training methods for balance internal and external.

MTG283
The 8 Bagua Internal Power Sets/Exercises.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Bagua has an unique way of teaching about internal power and as with all internal systems all one has to do, is to train in a few simple training methods in order to gain great power from within and from without. There are actually 16 training methods crammed into this one volume because each of the 8 sets has an inner part and an outside method. I.E. Fighting and entering methods when you are on the 'inside' of the attacker's arms and those when you are on the outside of his arms.
These methods can also be used as entering methods when an opponent has a strong on guard stance etc. They are done solo as well as with a training partner taking the energy or Qi right up through the ground and out of the palms. These are also excellent for the healing arts such as massage, tui-na, acupuncture etc.

This is not meant to teach the Old Yang Style as one should already know it, it is just to demonstrate and to teach what each posture is for. ON this volume Erle takes you from the beginning up to the posture known as Brush Knee and Twist Steps.

MTG281
The Secret Houses/Rings of the Yang Family: Volume One: House 3.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

The Secret Houses of Yang are what makes Taijiquan great. This is what distinguishes the 'red herring' Tai Chi from the real thing. What makes a silly, 'you push me, I push you' tai chi into a real fighting self defence system. These 12 houses or rings as they were often called, were what the Masters taught only their most treasured and trusted students and or family members and even went as far as giving us all the wrong information to stop us from getting the 'family jewels' as Yang Sau-chung once told me. Why is it that we are told that Tai Chi ch'uan means 'Supreme Ultimate Fighting' when we are taught this silly thing of Pushing Hands? Why would you want to do that? You do not push each other in real fighting. This way of pushing hands was also a red herring to keep us off the trail of the real thing of 'Joining Hands', which is the way that we are taught how to fight in Tai Chi. Joining Hands is en eye opening experience and will probably answer many of your questions and fears about learning how to use Tai Chi for fighting.
Erle Montaigue teaches in this volume the third house of Yang, the way of Joining Hands, how to feel the weight and deal with it, how to stop an attack with only two inches of movement, how to really move a force of 4000 lbs with only 4 oz. That is what it tells us in the classics so this is what w e should do!

The Bagua Dispersing Hands: Two Person Set, Volume One: (First 7 Parts)

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

32 separate exchanges, this is one of the most useful two person training exercises from Baguazhang. here we make use of every possible attack and defence in one beautifully flowing two person fighting set. Not the usual dance like set that many people teach nowadays but a very powerful and explosive set using very deadly techniques and defences against these. Here, Erle teaches the first 7 of the 32 separate sets which link up to make one very long and flowing fighting set. This is a must for anyone serious about their Bagua training.

MTG279:
Baguazhang Dragon Form: Full.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Finally, Erle Montaigue has begun the huge task of documenting the original Animal Forms.
The Animal Qi Awaking forms teach one how to gain and store the Qi. The Full Animal forms teach you how to release this stored energy.
Dragon: The Dragon is unpredictable; he leaps, twists and undulates. His organ is the whole of the middle of the abdomen and associated organs. His family member is the eldest son and his attribute is Thunder. Because he represents the ‘centre’ the dragon also represents the whole body joining the spiritual (shen) with the earth.
The Dragon is possibly one of the most beautiful of the Animal forms although it is impossible to choose one of the eight as all are very potent in the self defence area as well as the healing area. The names of the postures give some abstract indication of what is going on in both areas of this Dragon Form. 1/. Dragon Breathes Fire: 2/. Dragon Shakes Tassels/Tail: 3/.

The first is for the prospective instructor/instructor him/herself and their own training. Erle gives exercises from Wudang Shan that will give the instructor the necessary balance and timing, the power in punching and the body movement in order to make an impression on the new student. Of course one should never even begin to teach the internal arts without knowing the self defence method of the art because that is why these art exist. The health benefits are an offshoot of this. The 2nd area is for the students that you will be teaching. Over the past 35 years Erle Montaigue has amassed a huge amount of 'tricks of the trade' so to speak in getting students up to satisfactory levels. he will also be showing exactly how to teach the Yang Cheng-fu form to anyone, even those who are perhaps older and cannot perhaps understand these strange movements etc. This series is a MUST for instructors and beginning instructors alike.
In this Volume, Erle teaches the No. 2, 3 & 4 of the Wudang 'stepping' exercises to gain internal and external balance and to learn how to move for fighting at a reflex level.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Each of the major postures from Bagua have a hidden meaning, either for the healing benefits or for gaining of power for the fa-jing and fighting system. And the hidden meanings are hidden in the very names of each posture. This information was only ever given out to very advanced students after they became proficient in the fighting side of the art as when once was proficient in self defence, one could then understand about the healing and Qigong side. This is the final in the series contains Palm Changes 7 & 8.

By knowing the names of each posture, we are able to find the hidden way to perform each posture as well as to find the hidden healing meaning or Qigong to gain power etc. For instance, the posture called 'Leaning On the Horse & Ask The Way' works upon the energy system of the body which is stored in the backbone.

The 8 Baguazhang Animal Forms, Qi Awaking Forms Volume 6
The Falcon (Hawk) or Rooster Form:

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

The Falcon’s element is ‘Fire’ (some people call this animal the Rooster or Hawk). His body part is the eyes. His family member is the ‘Second Daughter’. He is brave and courageous and fights to the finish to save his family. Spinning & Turning over, using a chopping method is his way of fighting. An equally important body part for healing is the Heart. This is one of the nicest continually moving, circling and spiraling forms and really works upon the Qi and adjusting flow of energy in the body for a more balanced flow.

The 8 Baguazhang Animal Forms, Qi Awaking Forms Volume 5
The Lion Form:

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

The Lion is the most violent of all the Bagua animals. He is solemn, explosive and aggressive. His power is awesome and his organ is the head/mind. He represents ‘Heaven’. His family member is the ‘Father’.
As with all of these animal forms, even in their Qi Awaking state, you must always keep in mind the animal they represent. You cannot simply do these movements as human beings. That is why the movements were formatted the way they are, so as to bring out the animal in us for self defense.
This form above all others will lead one into the contact with their ‘Reptile Brain’. In order to do this form correctly, the Reptile Brain must be used. There is also a Qigong associated with this form for activation of the Reptile Brain.
For this form, I always like to think of those pictures where the lion is leaping at a wilder beast as it goes by or turns. He/she is absolute aggression. We begin with the Lion Qigong method.

The Monkey is totally different in that he is sprightly, very quick and very difficult to fight against as he seems to get in everywhere, he is also very sneaky. This form is also taught.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Each of the major postures from Bagua have a hidden meaning, either for the healing benefits or for gaining of power for the fa-jing and fighting system. And the hidden meanings are hidden in the very names of each posture. This information was only ever given out to very advanced students after they became proficient in the fighting side of the art as when once was proficient in self defence, one could then understand about the healing and Qigong side. Goes from the end of V. 1 up to the end of Palm Change 4.

The Bagua Animals: The Qi Shaking Forms Volume Three: The Snake.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

One of the most beautiful, deadly and health giving forms from the Baguazhang Animal Sets. The Snake represents water, however, unlike the Monkey who represents the 'Lake' with its bright and sparkling surface, the Snake's 'Water' is the fast flowing river. The river can get in anywhere and is very deadly. On the other hand, the river is also life giving, hence the Snake's excellent healing of the Spleen (nourishes), Kidneys and Liver. So the Snake also works upon the life force.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

The 8 Bagua Animal Two Person Training Forms are an integral part of one's Bagua training. Each form teaches the essence of the animal whose name it shares. How to gain the power of each animal, how to move like the animal in essence and how to cultivate one's Qi so that the body move fluidly and with great power. In this first volume Erle teaches the Snake and the Phoenix two person forms. The Snake form is of water and as such flows with great power in and out of every little crevice until it wins the battle. Its strikes are powerful and swift utilizing the power of the whole body coiled ready to strike in a split second. The Phoenix is of the Air and represents the power of the air, swooping and rolling, turning, striking with its powerful wings and wing tips then escaping to a higher plain.

MTG258

Baguazhang Animals: The Qi Shaking Methods. Volume One.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Many people when they first begin to learn Baguazhang and often because their body is tense and stiff from training in other martial systems, find it difficult to get anything happening Qi or energy wise; so we have an excellent training method derived from the "8 Animal Forms" of Bagua, called "Shaking the Qi", a set of 8 relatively simple training methods that force the body to learn about Bagua Fa-Jing. Volume one contains the first two of these Qi Shaking methods plus the excellent first two of the Palm training methods to gain fa-jing. The 1st Two Palm Changes: Bear & Monkey are covered in this volume.

Erle takes you through the very basics of fa-jing and how to do it. Covering the various attacking methods of lateral and vertical movement of the wrist. And he also includes the Baguazhang Silk Reeling Fa-jing method to help in the learning of Fa-Jing. Fa-Jing kicking is also included. This is in two volumes, however, to purchase BOTH volumes, you will receive a further discount (see above). Both of these volumes can be counted in your "four for the price of three titles".

Silk Reeling in Tai Chi Ch'uan Volume Two

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

This is the second of the Tai Chi lessons in Swansea covering the advanced "Silk Reeling" in Tai Chi Ch'uan (see below). We covered up to "arn" as this gives you a balanced set of movements. Often when someone is beginning to get it right, and they only perform half of a balanced set, they will actually feel physically ill! A couple of our Swansea students found this to be correct. hence my giving the full balanced set at this class. We also covered the 2nd of the Fa-jing reeling exercises which really got the Qi flowing!

MTG251
Silk Reeling in Tai Chi Ch'uan Volume One.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Ch'an Ssu Chin or "Silk Reeling" is an important part of one's Tai Chi training. In fact it is an integral part of the advanced way of performing Tai Chi. Everything in Tai Chi is done in spirals, in a slow (sometimes explosive) manner, in just the same way that silk has to be pulled from a cocoon so as not to break the thread. Fa-Jing's correct name is actually "Fa-Jing Ch'an Ssu Chin" or Explosive Energy Silk Reeling, where we throw out explosive energy and then bring it back. So we are given 8 fa-jing training methods in order to gain this ability. These will also be taught on this 8 title series beginning with Volume One showing the first of these training methods. This series is taken from Erle Montaigue's first lessons in Swansea in Wales. So if you weren't able to get there or were there and need some back up, this series is ideal. Volume One is now available and we will be filming one volume per month until the eight are done.

MTG250
Children Learn Yang Lu-ch'an's Form Volume 9.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Carrying on with this series where Erle Montaigue is teaching his own children, hence he is very complete and pedantic about what they learn. Every minute movement is taught with great accuracy as well as the basic martial arts applications of each movement. This volume begins at the first set of kicking movements and ends with the Brush Knee and Twist Steps after these.

MTG249
Tai Chi Qigong

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

This way of performing the Tai Chi form is phenomenal in what it does for you health wise. This is real Qigong at its highest level. (See Article on Tai Chi Qigong). This is the Tai Chi that will give you longevity and great good health into older age helping to fix such things as Arthritis and other problems of the joints and sinews etc. You will notice that you have much better mobility and stretch with no 'after-pain' from doing low postures etc. Your mind will improve, with a balanced mind and body moving in co-ordination.
Personally, I have found this way of doing Tai Chi to be the most wonderful experience, giving peace of mind and great happiness with a totally positive outlook. So it is excellent for those with mind problems such as bi-polar etc.

MTG248
How To Fight Against A Larger Opponent

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

Erle Montaigue utilizes his vast experience in the self defence area covering some 40 years to teach those people who may be not so tall or large boned or not so heavy how to defend themselves against a much larger opponent. Everyone has the same weak points on the body no matter how huge and strong the opponent is. Some excellent techniques are shown, as well as some important dim-mak points that work on the weak points of the larger attacker.

Wudang Short Stick Defense Against a Knife.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

This 3 part series beginning with MTG247, covers the rare Wudang stick fighting method using a short stick somewhat like the Arnis type of stick. Only one stick is used and is aimed at an edged weapon such as a knife attack. There are 12 training drills covering every conceivable type of knife attack using the stick to defend against it. Your partner also uses a stick as we strike his stick which represents his forearm or wrist. 4 of the twelve drills will be taught on each of the 3 volumes. Possibly the easiest of all weapons to use is the short stick as you can usually get one from somewhere. The drills begin simple and continue with ever increasing complicated and longer drills until the twelve are finished. On this volume one, the first four methods are taught.

MTG246:
Advanced Knife Volume 3.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

On this volume Erle teaches the next two advanced knife fighting forms from Chang Yiu-chun. The "Reverse Knife Form" and the "Quickly Moving Knife Form". The Reverse Knife Form teaches excellent foot work gaining timing and coordination which hold one in good stead for the empty handed art as well. The Quickly moving Knife Form teaches the use of the hands against many attackers, also relying upon excellent footwork. Both of these forms are again excellent for good health as well, working upon acupuncture meridians and giving the body a general toning workout.

Taijiquan's 'Waving Form'.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

This is the form that is said to be the closest emulation of the internal flow of Qi in the body. It is not a new form but rather a 'way' of performing the forms that you already know. It is important to see someone doing this form as that is the only way to learn it. You take it into your sub-conscious and slowly over the years it grows until one day you are doing Waving Form. This could be called the highest level of H'ao chuan. Erle taught it at his latest workshop in Australia and the way he taught it, everyone was able to grasp the concepts relatively easily even though it will not grow within them for a couple of years.
This form is the highest balancing of Yin and Yang in the body and also teaches us how to fight without thinking about it. It is s truly beautiful form!

MTG243
Advanced Knife Fighting Volume Two

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

On this title, Erle shows and teaches the next two forms in the advanced knife fighting methods, those of "Bending Form" and "Fast Footwork Form". These two forms were taught at Erle's recent International workshop in Australia and all were in awe of the graceful movement and deadly application that these forms give. They also allow your brain to push out a balanced level of 'Fight or Flight' hormones/chemicals into the body so that the correct one will be chosen in any given situation etc. So if it's fight you must, then you will fight with the greatest amount of energy and aggression etc. Some very interesting techniques are shown within each of these forms.

MTG242
Advanced Knife Fighting Techniques Volume One.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE

On this tape, Erle begins his Advanced Knife Fighting both using the knife against another knife attacker and using empty hands against a knife attacker or a group of them.
Chang Yiu-chun was the supreme knife fighter even into his eighties. And it was not until Erle's final months of training that he opened up and told Erle how he got to where he was in this field. He used to perform a group of 12 short training methods using the knife. These training methods gave one the necessary tools and sub-conscious reaction that one needs to defend against a knife attack. These methods are shown on this series as well as the 'WAY' of Internal Knife Fighting as taught by Chang.

Probably the most deadly and useful short weapons ever invented. With five cutting edges, and four points, you can use this weapon against any long metal or wooden weapon such as broadsword, sword, spear etc. The form is excellent for health as it gives your whole body a great workout along with toning up your Kidney Jing (life-force). Every conceivable strike, block and attack is covered using the multi faceted weapon. It will be produced definitely early in 2003. It is often called "Double Moon Knives" or "Mandarin Duck Knives" or "Elk Horn Knives". The form is performed around the circumference (for the most part) of a circle as for the Bagua circular form and it comes in 8 sections as well. Many of the posture names are the same as in the circular empty hand form, however, this weapon form is very much different and not just using a weapon with the Bagua form etc. Every organ in your body is toned up especially the heart and lungs, liver and kidneys. The wrists become particularly powerful and your flexibility is also improved. NB:// VOL. 1 contains a complete demonstration done at full speed. Click to see a Window's Media Clip
