Double Push Hands: This Is
How We Do It Volume Two.
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

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

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”.
MTG343
Bagua Pole Form
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.

MTG339
Dim-Mak: The Most Practical and Most Deadly Point Strikes and
Combinations from Dim-Mak: Volume One.
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
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.
MTG337
Tai Chi: This Is How We Do It, V. 4
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.
MTG336
Tai Chi Cornerstones
SEE A VIDEO CLIP
HERE
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.
MTG335
Bagua Animals Power Qigong:
Lion & Dragon
Erle Montaigue teaches the two
person training set from Bagua from the 7th 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.
MTG334
The Physical Side of the Internal Fighting Systems, Volume 19
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

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.
MTG332:
The Physical Side of the Internal Fighting Systems: V. 18
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.
MTG330:
The Bagua Linear Qigong and Body Building Form:
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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

Insights Into Qigong, Pushing Hands and Catholic Girls! 50 Minutes.
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.

Qi Activation & Manifestation Using Yang Lu-ch'an's Form Volume Two. 1
Hour and 15 minutes.
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.

Bagua Unicorn Boxing: Full Animal Form With Applications
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.
Bagua Unicorn Boxing
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.

SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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!!!

The Physical Side of the Internal Fighting Systems with Erle
Montaigue. Volume 12: The Secret Yang Family Houses/Rings No. 5
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.

This is Tai Chi Ch'uan, This is How We Do It. (Volume One)
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.

Erle Montaigue’s Fighting System: The Physical Side: Volume 10:
Multiple Strike Kill Methods. The Secret Houses/Rings of the Yang
Family: House No. 5. (Part Nine)
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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. Here, Erle presents for the first
time, Yang’s 5th 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. Tai Chi Chee-Sau (Sticking Hands), Short Stick
Fighting, Applications of over-kill.
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.

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. Here, Erle presents for the first
time, Yang’s 5th 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. Defence against knife attack, defence against
knife using a knife and/or a stick. Weapons included are short stick
and a very useful hand held 6" stick.

Bagua Phoenix Boxing:
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.

This is the final in the series and takes you from the end of Volume 8 to the end of the third 3rd. 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 3rd 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.

On this 2nd part of the Yang’s Secret House No. 4, Erle takes you further into the secret methods to take your double push hands into real fighting methods. You are taught that you don’t really move back and forth in push hands, but rather side to side using economical movement in defence and attack. You are taught how to gain the immense power that Tai Chi has to offer by learning about perfect timing, all gained from your REAL push hands methods. Some very useful and deadly fighting/self defence methods are shown. These methods come directly out of double push hands using the p’eng/hinge method. This volume is a must for anyone wishing to take their Tai Chi into the realms of realistic street self defence fighting

On this volume, Erle Montaigue teaches the 4th House of Yang where we are taught how to take the very excellent and needed training method of Push Hands into the real world self defence area. Just about every type of attack and defence is covered as well as one legged pushing. This method, House No. 4 is necessary to take your push hands to that next level, to jump out of the pond so to speak and turn from a tadpole into a frog. This is what real push hands and self defence is all about.

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!

You Need This: Volume Two:
An Eclectic selection of Erle Montaigue's Fighting, Healing &
training Methods:
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.

You Need This: Volume One:
An Eclectic selection of Erle Montaigue's Fighting, Healing &
training Methods:
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.

Bear Form:
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.

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.

Erle Montaigue's Master Teaching Classes, Volume 6.
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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.

Bagua Lion Boxing: The Full Bagua Animal Forms V. 3
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’
Also included on this DVD are some very useful 'Lion' violent
fighting methods which are not for the faint at heart!

Erle Montaigue's Master Teaching Classes, Volume 5.
SEE A VIDEO CLIP HERE
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 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
