DVD Catalogue 2010

Thank you for viewing our catalogue of Erle Montaigues DVD titles. Many ask if it is possible to learn from Erles videos? Well yes, unlike most others who have an expensive and slick video production with little content, Erle has always put content first. So now we have literally thousands of students and some who have even become instructors under the World Taiji Boxing Association, learning successfully from the DVDs as they are so Comprehensive. Most of the DVDs have been filmed in a class atmosphere so it feels like you are there in the class. You will also notice that Erle Montaigue does not believe in fancy Chinese suits, as we are never attacked in the street while in special clothing. He also insists upon simply being called Erle and not some lofty name like Sifu or Master or Laosher etc. Please visit our website which you arr probably already at and reas as much as you can. Thank you.

Erle Montaigues DVD Titles

Covering all aspects of the Internal Fighting/Healing Arts of China.
Tai Chi: Bagua: Dim-Mak: Qigong: Wudang: Self Defence: Weapons: Knife Fighting: Stick Fighting: Healing: Self Healing: Medical Tai Chi: And much more is covered in full in these pages. Erle Montaigue was the first person ever to publish self teaching videos on the Internal Fighting Systems of China. He was the first person to publish complete and comprehensive books and videos on Dim-Mak or death point striking. Even the modern Bubishi makes mention of Erle Montaigue. His articles for International Magazines have been published since 1978. His currently 25 published books some of which have remained on the best selling list of their genre, are now published in 4 languages including Russian. He was the first person to publish videos on the Wudang System of Fighting and Healing. His videos on Baguazhang (Bagua) were the first on the subject to be published. Erle's books on Dim-Mak were the first comprehensive books ever to be published. Before that, there were one or two small books published in China or Japan that only covered a small number of points in not so great detail. Read any Dim-Mak book or DVD by others in the modern era and you will notice a stark similarity to what Erle Montaigue has written in his "Encyclopaedias of Dim-Mak" and his other books on Dim-Mak. Erle Montaigue is regarded, even by his detractors as the Modern Father of Dim-Mak. He has been dubbed "The Tai Chi Renegade" ... and proud to be so! :) Taijiworld.com website is huge! Take your time as there is much to read and view covering every conceivable aspect of the Internal Healing/Fighting Arts. You will find free video clips, Free Books, Free Articles, Free Charts and Magazines. Currently we have over 450 Video Clips from Erle's at this time (Feb 2010) 376 DVD titles. Please click onto "Free Stuff" to the right of the front page to view these.
Taijiworld.com is the longest running, the largest, the highest quality content web site on the Internal Fighting/Healing Systems of China. Erle Montaigue has been practicing these arts since 1967 and has been teaching since 1977 when he opened his first
school in London. His teachers have been some of the greatest masters from China. Erle was given the degree of Master in China in 1985. He has continued to help many thousands to gain good health and real self defence.
The Way of the Warrior

By Erle Montaigue
A warrior is not just a person who has learned some moves, is able to kick at 90 miles per hour or who has won the world championships at kick-boxing. A warrior must earn his title. The martial artist is a person who knows things that go far deeper than just self defence, he is someone who walks into a room full of people and an immediate calm falls upon that room, he is a person who can touch a person's head, or arm, or hand and cause an inner stillness and peace to fall upon that person. You know a warrior not from the way he looks, his big biceps, or his rolled up sleeves revealing a row of tattoos, or his shaven head or the fact that he wears his full gi (karate uniform) to parties! We know the warrior by his presence and the healing he automatically gives to everyone he meets. His energy, his 'Qi' is touching you, you don't feel anything physical, but rather the internal effect of this touching, and peace is with you. The warrior looks upon the earth in a different way than those who are not warriors, everything, from the smallest insect to the largest mammal, and the most insignificant rock or tree is important and has life, the grass he walks upon, he thanks for softening the rough path he walks upon, the trees, he thanks for giving him shade and oxygen. Everything has importance because it was put there by mother earth for some reason. Sure, he has to live in modern times, he must drive a motor car and go to the supermarket and mow his lawns, but always, he never loses sight of what he is, and more importantly, where he is. He knows that what he is, is not only what he has made himself to be, but also what is handed down to him and what is an accumulation right inside the very cells that he is made of, from his ancestors. Everything that they were, is now him, every bit of information that his fathers and mothers gathered is now inside of him, this is how we live on in our children, we literally, and I mean literally, pass on our knowledge, along with eons of knowledge accumulated since the beginning of time, to our children. Everything that we are at the conception of our children is passed on to them. We think that we have certain talents, but the warrior knows that all that he is, has come from the beginning of time, he knows that he is made up of the same stuff that a rock is made of, or a tree or a blade of grass, the difference is only physical. He knows that he owns nothing, and that all animals are free, his animals chose him to be with, he does not go to the pet shop to chose a new dog, he knows that the dog has chosen him to come to that pet shop to chose it. The warrior communicates with the earth; he talks to the dogs, to the cats and owls, to the snakes, not so much verbally, but simply by being. This is the one thing that everything on earth has in common, being. He knows that there are forces at work on this earth, forces that he must learn to go with and to live with, otherwise he will surely perish. The energy within the warrior has the power to join with these forces, and then he has the power to change. But this comes not without payment, for he also knows that we cannot receive without first having paid for it. The whole of the universe is based upon this giving and taking, it is called yin & yang. For every up there must be a down, for every happiness, there must be sadness, for every full tummy, there must be an empty one. The warrior knows that he must lose in order to gain, and so he sacrifices. He sacrifices his food, he sacrifices his sexual longings, his every day comforts, in order that he has the power to change and to help others to change. Not in going out specifically to help others, but to have the internal power always there to automatically help others to be peaceful, and in doing so, they too will be able to see where they are, and who they are. We are not only someone's son or daughter, we are the sons and daughters of an infinite amount of people, those who have passed on to us their cells inside of which is hidden the very substance of creation and everything that has happened. Not 'since time began', because there is no beginning or ending. Being a martial artist is only one hundredth of what a warrior is, it is only a part of the whole, it is what gives us the confidence to become a healer, the internal energy to make changes. A warrior knows that we do not have teachers, but guides, the people we meet who are able to give us something internal, that something extra to cause us to become our own greatest teachers. Just by simply being, a guide helps us to realize that it is we, ourselves who teach us, because the warrior also knows that locked away inside of everything, is that primordial cell that contains all information. He learns to read this information which comes in the form of 'flashes' at first, and this is too much for his feeble human brain to handle, he shuts off as soon as the flash arrives. But soon he learns to read these flashes, and they become longer in duration than just a moment. This is when the warrior knows that he is reading time. He learns to communicate other than speaking, he knows that his physical needs are being looked after, and needs not worry about where the next mortgage payment will come from. The warrior finds his place on the earth and stays there, where the power is. It is not a physical searching, but rather the warrior is 'taken' to where he must be, and there he stays, and the whole world will pass by, he needs not to travel, because the universe is there within him, and those who will in turn need to seek him out, will do so when their time is right, in just the same way that he did when he had to travel the world searching for his own guides. They then will learn to teach themselves from within, and also then go and find their own place, and he may never see them again, but this does not worry the warrior, he is in contact. The warrior is not the master, he is neither the sifu nor the sensei, these are just physical words that we put upon ourselves to make us seem important, or better than those who we guide. The warrior is a friend to his students, and so cannot be our master. He does not wish to gather students as they will search him out, and those who need to have a master or a sensei will not stay, they will keep searching until they realize that what they search is within them, and who they search, can only be their guide. The warrior is always there for his students. He will always answer his own email messages and phone calls no matter how inane or stupid they may be (and boy do we get them!). But he always takes the time to try and help those who are seeking advice. He never puts himself up so high and mighty that he should not answer emails or phone calls. This behaviour is relegated to the celebrities of this world who really do nothing but who think they are something. The Warrior is often seen doing nothing at all and this distinguishes the real Warrior from the pseudo warrior. The real Warrior is seen to be doing nothing but is really doing something!

The DVD Titles:

These are numbered most recent to the first one Erle made, MTG1
MTG379 Yang Lu-ch'an's Root Methods Volume 5 This volume carries on from V. 4 covering those postures and movements from the Old Yang Style of Yang Lu-ch'an from Tripping Repulse monkey to and including Needle At Sea Bottom group of postures. Yang Lu-ch'an invented a brief fighting solo form for each of the main self defence postures in his Old Form. These are called "Root" forms. Every posture has many fighting applications so to make it easier to take the great fighting and healing benefits from the postures, Lu-ch'an gives us a form to practice. These forms teach us about fa-jing, dim-mak and how internalize the postures thus making the maximum use of one's body for healing and self defence. MTG378 The Knife: Real World Knife Fighting: Training and Application Volume 2 This DVD sees the start of a series of titles covering real world street knife defence and use. Seeing what many others are teaching about how to use a knife in a real self defence situation, this series is an attempt to show and teach students how NOT to be killed using stupid techniques such as grabbing the arm that is holding the knife! Erle Montaigue lends his vast experience in the real world of knife fighting. In this 2nd volume, Erle covers more on "Eagle Vision" and how to "If Someone Attacks you, Attack Him First" methods. Plus we begin the exciting area of "Bagua Knife" which means 8 Diagram Knife. There are 8 two person training methods firstly using a fighting stick which represents a knife. Each set also has 8 either defence/offence and kill moves making a total of 64. We then go on and use the rubber knife using those same 8 methods. This is an excellent way to take your movements to a reflex level. You will need a rubber practice knife, some arm guards, a real knife and a piece of dowelling about 2 feet in length. (60 cm). MTG377 The Bagua Palm: Volume 2. This series covers Baguazhang, showing how to use the palm for attack and defence as well as giving some really nice training methods.

Erle will also be covering each of the Bagua postures, taking each and giving a brief method covering many different applications of each.

Erle Montaigue lends his vast experience in the real world of knife fighting.

MTG373 Tai Chi: Secrets: Putting It All Together Volume 2 (NOT FOR GENERAL SALE) PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS TITLE UNTIL YOU HAVE CONTACTED US TO GET APPROVAL! This is the stuff Tai Chi is made of. Please note that this series of DVDs is ONLY available to our most trusted customers & instructors and students! It will under no circumstances be sold to anyone else until they have proven themselves and even then some more! This is where the "lights go on"! I began my Videos with the idea that I would not hold things back like others would. So as you can see, I now have more videos on every possible subject of the Internal Fighting/Healing arts than any other instructor and was also the FIRST person ever to put Tai Chi onto Video way back. However, this "fault" of mine has caused me some grief in that others have then taken MY information that I have fought for hard and long to get over the past 35 years and they have used it to gain money without even acknowledging that it was from me that they obtained the information! Whole books have been published about things that could ONLY have ever come directly or indirectly from myself! So now that I am finally into the final stages of one's Tai Chi training and giving out the stuff that really turns the lights on (as all who have been taught this will tell you), I am forced to withhold this information from everyone other than my most trusted students and instructors.

Eli Montaigue, Erles son and now head of the WTBA has viewed over many weeks all of Erles DVDs on the differing levels of Yang Lu-chans old form. This was done in an effort to bring WTBA instructors into line as to what and how to teach this complicated form. Eli shows the various mistakes that most instructors make when they for isnstance, go straight into the more advanced of Erles forms rather than beginning at the beginning etc. He then filmed this class so that all WTBA instructors would be teaching the same 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-chans Form: Volume Two Erle continues this series to the end of the first third of Yang Lu-chans form. More volumes will be added soon. This series was taken from Erles annual Summer camp in Rostock Germany in July 2008.
MTG341 The Special Energy Flows On the 8 Extra Meridians in Yang Lu-chans 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 ones 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-chan form, also covered are some nice power Qigong methods.
MTG340: Bagua Linear Qigong & Body Building Form: Volume Two Erle continues with this series on how to use the Linear Bagua form as a healing Qigong method as well as a sub-conscious body building method.
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 ones advancement in this explosive part of ones 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 The Tai Chi Cornerstones are the building blocks for advanced Tai Chi Chuan practice. The basic form gives you the foundation, and 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 coordinated 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 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 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.
MTG330: The Bagua Linear Qigong and Body Building Form: 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.

MTG327 Insights Into Qigong, Pushing Hands and Catholic Girls! 50 Minutes. 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.

MTG322 Wudang Stick & Knife Fighting Methods Volume 2. 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.
MTG321 Wudang Stick & Knife Fighting Methods Volume 1.

MTG320: The Physical Side of the Internal Fighting Systems with Erle Montaigue. Volume 15: The Secret Yang Family Houses/Rings No. 5 See MTG319 for details of this one.
MTG319: 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
MTG316 Bagua Walking, This is How It Is Done: 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.

MTG314 This is Tai Chi Ch'uan, This is How We Do It. (Volume Two) This series of DVDs is being shot during Erles Invitation only instructors 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.
MTG313 This is Tai Chi Ch'uan, This is How We Do It. (Volume One) This series of DVDs is being shot during Erles Invitation only instructors 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.

Here, Erle presents for the first time, Yangs 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. The Yang Family's Way of Fa-Jing and The Reptile Brain Mode. Its 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. MTG306 Erle Montaigues Fighting System: The Physical Side: Volume 4: Multiple Strike Kill Methods. The Secret Houses/Rings of the Yang Family: House No. 5.

This DVD teaches how to do this. MTG304 The Phoenix: Bagua Animal Forms 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.
MTG303 Erle Montaigues Fighting System: The Physical Side: Volume Two: One Strike Kill Methods. The Secret Houses/Rings of the Yang Family: House No. 5.

This DVD teaches how to do this. MTG302 Yang Lu-chans 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 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.
MTG301 The Secret Houses/Rings of the Yang Family: Volume Three: House 4, Part Two. (Fighting & Sung) On this 2nd part of the Yangs 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 dont 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 peng/hinge method. This volume is a must for anyone wishing to take their Tai Chi into the realms of realistic street self defence fighting 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 eye opening.
MTG300 The Secret Houses/Rings of the Yang Family: Volume Two: House 4. (Sung) 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. 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. MTG299 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! MTG298 Bagua Snake Boxing The Snake represents Water and the organs are Bladder, Liver, Kidneys and Spleen. The Snake flows with the force in order to defeat it, he slips in anywhere without you knowing! The Snakes family member is the Second Son. This form is particularly good for the whole body when done at its correct speed. The movements from the waist are the key to this form and also to the healing aspects. This form works upon the life force meridians of Kidneys Bladder, Liver and Spleen thus toning up the whole energy system. I can attest to this as I am possibly one of the most tested medically people around, so I am able to test before and after training in this form. You feel energized and alive after it. As a side line to this form, it contains some of the most deadly and useable fighting methods of any martial system, emulating the movements of the snake with its powerful mid-section acting as a turbo to throw out the upper and lower limbs with great power and speed.
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'.
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: 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. 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 seem 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.
MTG293 Erle Montaigue's Master Teaching Classes, Volume 6. 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.
MTG292 Bagua Lion Boxing: The Full Bagua Animal Forms V. 3 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!
MTG291 Erle Montaigue's Master Teaching Classes, Volume 5. 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.
MTG290 Erle Montaigue's Master Teaching Classes, Volume Four. 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.
MTG289 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
MTG288 The 10,000 Fighting Techniques of the Old Yang Style: Volume Two. 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 end of Volume one up to & including the posture known as High pat on Horse just before the first kicking section.
MTG287 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 well as 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! MTG285 The Baguazhang Animals Entering & Fighting Techniques Volume Two. 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. 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.
MTG282 The 10,000 Fighting Techniques of the Old Yang Style: Volume One. 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 begins 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 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. 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!
MTG280 The Bagua Dispersing Hands: Two Person Set, Volume One: (First 7 Parts) 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. 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/. Dragon Breaks The Lotus: 4/. Dragon Touches The Sky: 5/. Dragon twist To The Rear: 6/. Dragon Throws Fire To Pierce The Armour: 7/. Dragon Touches The Sky & Twists Body: 8/.

MTG275 The Hidden Qigong Meanings/Applications for Each of the Bagua Postures Volume 4. 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.

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. 2 up to the end of Palm Change 6. (Palm Changes 5, 6). Also on this volume are the last three Palm training drills, 6, 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.
MTG271 Wudang Stick Fighting Against Knife Volume Two. This is the much awaited 2nd volume to the excellent series teaching how to defeat knife fighters using only a short stick. (See Previous Volume). On this volume, Erle teaches in a very energetic class, the 5th and 6th methods, called "Changing hands" and "Switching The Footwork" where the students gets
more into moving the feet and learning how to move correctly in such situations. MTG270 Silk Reeling in Taijiquan Yang Lu-ch'an's Form V. 7 This volume takes you from then end of V. 6 up to the postures known as 'Fist Under Elbow". However, this volume also contains useful information on how to gain REAL power using the little known Taijiquan way of 'Stone Hands Form'. It doesn't matter if your opponent is 6'8" tall and 300 lbs, you can defeat him using the 'Stone Hands Power'. Also included is the 7th 'Silk reeling Fa-Jing' training method using punching mitts.
MTG269 Bagua Animals: The Entering Methods V. 1 Hawk & Dragon. Each of the 8 Bagua Animal Forms has two 'entering' or 'opening' methods. These are methods that allow us to get in to an attacker who has a solid onguard stance who would otherwise be impenetrable. We have a closed side offensive and an open side offensive method for each animal form. The Dragon leaps, undulates, twists and changes. he is unpredictable. The hawk (see below). MTG268 The 8 Baguazhang Animal Forms, Qi Awaking Forms Volume 6 The Falcon (Hawk) or Rooster Form: The Falcons 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. This is the 2nd longest animal Qi Awaking form.
MTG267 The 8 Baguazhang Animal Forms, Qi Awaking Forms Volume 5 The Lion Form: 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.
MTG266 The 8 Baguazhang Animal Forms, Two Person Training Methods: Vol. 2 Bear and Monkey Forms. On this volume, Erle teaches the very powerful two person set of The Bear. He is powerful and never gives up until his attacker is defeated. He locks and blocks the attackers body before demolishing him with his powerful arms. 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. MTG265 Silk Reeling in Taijiquan Yang Lu-ch'an's Form V. 6 The 5th volume takes you from the end of Brush Knee Step to the end of the first third and the first posture in that 3rd called Carry Tiger. Also included is the Silk Reeling Fa-Jing training method No. 6. MTG264 The Hidden Qigong Means of Each Baguazhang Posture: Vol. 2 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. 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.
MTG263 The Bagua Animals: The Qi Awaking (Shaking) forms V. 4: The Unicorn This is the 4th volume in this series and covers the Unicorn form plus the Nos 3 and 4 of the two person Palm Training Methods. the Unicorn is of the clouds and represents the Gall Bladder, Pancreas and Colon. It is regal but also deadly and very powerful. His attribute is "turning like a tornado". He kicks and attacks with his front hoofs as well as the horn on his head. MTG262 Silk Reeling in Taijiquan Yang Lu-ch'an's Form V. 5 The 5th in this series takes you from Shoulder Press up to the Brush Knee & Twist Step routine. Also included is single push hands moving steps evading from attack in the real world, plus the 5th part of the Silk Reeling Fa-jing training methods. MTG261 The Bagua Animals: The Qi Shaking Forms Volume Three: The Snake. 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.
MTG260 Silk Reeling in Taijiquan Yang Lu-ch'an's Form V. 4 The 4th in the series takes you from Single Whip to Shoulder Press covering the most advanced level of Silk Reeling Tai Chi plus the 4th of the Fa-Jing Silk reeling training Striking Methods.
MTG259 The 8 Baguazhang Animal Forms, Two Person Training Methods: Vol. 1 Snake and Phoenix Forms. 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 The Bagua Animals: The Qi Shaking Forms Volume Two: Phoenix. This title teaches the very beautiful and deadly Phoenix animal Qi Shaking method from Baguazhang. It works upon the lungs and has some very potent attacking Dim-Mak methods using mainly the backs of the palms (like wings). There are 3 areas that we learn in the Bagua Animal Forms. The Animal Forms themselves: The Qi Shaking Methods, which are sort of like a lesser form of the main forms and lastly, the Animal two person training methods which I will be putting down onto video over the coming months. MTG257 Silk Reeling in Taijiquan Yang Lu-ch'an's Form V. 3 This is the third of the Tai Chi lessons in Swansea covering the advanced "Silk Reeling" in Tai Chi Ch'uan (see below). We covered up to "Single Whip (Tan Pien)" We also covered the 3nd of the Fa-jing reeling exercises which really got the Qi flowing! Also covered was a section on Internal Power and a Qigong to gain this.
MTG256 The Hidden Qigong Means of Each Baguazhang Posture: Vol. 1 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. 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 1st Two Palm Changes are covered in this volume. MTG255 Baguazhang Animals: The Qi Shaking Methods. Volume One. (Bear & Monkey) 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.
MTG254: Fa-Jing: The Way. Volume Two. Same as the below, second volume.
MTG253: Fa-Jing: The Way. Volume One.

Taken at Erle's Scottish Workshop in April 2004. Fa-jing right from scratch, from the all important qigong method for accumulating Qi via the backbone for use during Fa-Jing attacks. 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,
MTG252 Silk Reeling in Tai Chi Ch'uan Volume Two 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. 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. 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

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

Erle Montaigue utilizes his vast experience in the self defense 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.
MTG247 Wudang Short Stick Defense Against a Knife. V 1

This 4 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 Three 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.
MTG245: The Formal Day to Day training of the Montaigue Children: V. 8 Carries on from Volume 7 below. Including YLC form up to & Including "Separation of left and right feet"
MTG244 Taijiquan's 'Waving Form'. 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 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. 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 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.
MTG241 Baguazhang Deer Horn Knife Corrections & Notes All of the things that weren't covered due to time restrictions in the Deer Horn series are covered here. Especially the last two Knife Changes. Better ways of teaching this form as discussed and many corrections from teaching others are also shown. Difficult parts in the form are given extra attention.
MTG240: Bagua Deer Horn Knives V. 4 (Final) This volume takes you through t he 7th and 8th knife changes which are the longest of them all and most enjoyable and strenuous.
MTG239: Bagua Deer Horn Knives V. 3 This volume teaches the 5th and 6th Knife changes showing form as well as applications.
MTG238: Baguazhang Deer Horn Knives, Volume 2. This volume covers the 3rd and 4th Knife Changes with martial applications. The 3rd and 4th are particularly beautiful changes with many twisting and turning movements to emulate the movements of the eagle as it twists, turns and rolls.
MTG237: Baguazhang Deer Horn Knives. Volume One: Covers the first two Changes. 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 (lifeforce). 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. And YES, Erle Montaigue does this! Unlike others who get their younger students to perform.
MTG236: The Formal Day to Day training of the Montaigue Children: V. 7 Carries on from Volume 5 below. Including YLC form up to "Needle At Sea Bottom" $30.00 (USA) or 20.00 (Europe)
MTG235 Advanced Form Practice: The Rhythm Method. Have you ever wondered why you were taught certain ways of doing form and then your body tries to tell you something different? After while, your body begins to tell your limps etc., to do the movements in a slightly different way. but because your teacher did not tell you or did not know about the advanced methods, you stick with what you have been taught at a basic level. The 'Rhythm method' will show you how to perform your form by having total harmony with the rhythm of the form. You mix your own body rhythm with the natural rhythm of the form. Doing form this way, allowing your hands and arms to move in the way that they want to, you will find that Qi activation points during the form will happen by these new movement's action upon the tantien. Qigong is also included in this tape and how to get the most Qi activation out of your Qigong practice. This was filmed at the WTBA's annual workshop, Camp 2002.
MTG234 Power Push Hands The ancient Chinese masters knew about things like hormones and how they work upon the body to cause growth and repair etc. They did not know that hormones existed but rather that doing certain exercises at certain times and ways, caused the body to react in building the correct muscle groups for the self defence arts. Fa-jing for instance needs this type of push hands in order to build strong fa-jing punching. Doing push hands in this way, causes lactic acid to build up as it is Anaerobic. This is important as this causes the human growth hormone to be produced much more during sleep in order to repair and build upon those muscle groups that we have exercised during our daily Power Push hands training. There are 4 main methods and 4 peripheral methods and all are taught on this tape during Camp 2002.
MTG233 Advanced Wudang Spear Form. For health, you cannot go past either the Wudang Broadsword form or the Wudang Spear form. And if we were allowed to walk around with such weapons, you could not get a more deadly weapon other than a gun. On this tape, Erle teaches not only the Spear form, but also the deadly applications making use of Dim-Mak strikes. Some excellent training methods for the spear are also included. This is indeed the top weapon for health and self defence and it is possibly the most beautiful form of any martial system.
MTG232: The Formal Day to Day training of the Montaigue Children: V. 6 Carries on from Volume 5 below. Including YLC form up to "Tripping Repulse Monkey" MTG231 Advanced Broadsword Volume Two In the second volume, Erle carries on to the end of the advanced broadsword form and also includes some excellent training methods to teach you how to use the sword and to exercise the correct muscles for its use. He also includes some applications not included in the form tapes. MTG230 Advanced Broadsword Volume One In this series, Erle Montaigue teaches the Broadsword form with its deadly applications at its most advanced level. Moves that werent included traditionally in the basic beginners form are now included in this series.
MTG229 Bagua Fighting: The Most Deadly Point Strikes on the Most Deadly Meridians: Volume Two. Carries on from Volume One.
MTG228: The Formal Day to Day training of the Montaigue Children: V. 5 Carries on from Volume 4 below. Including YLC form up to "Step Up Parry & Punch"
MTG227: The Formal Day to Day training of the Montaigue Children: V. 4 Carries on from Volume 3 below. Including YLC form up to "Brush Knee & Twist Step"
MTG226 Bagua Fighting: The Most Deadly Point Strikes on the Most Deadly Meridians: Volume One. Erle Montaigue receives many requests for a more simple way of showing the most deadly point strikes on the most deadly meridians using Baguazhang. This video series shows how Bagua uses three consecutive strikes using fa-jing all aimed at the most deadly dim-mak points on the most deadly meridians. Erle shows how to use each weapon without damaging yourself, using a hard mitt. He then goes on to show each point and its effect upon the body. Then he shows Bagua Fighting techniques to gain the most from this system. This is an easy to learn from series, it is not sophisticated; it is just straight down to earth Bagua fighting at its best, or worst if you are on the other end of it!
MTG225: The Formal Day to Day training of the Montaigue Children: V. 3 Carries on from Volume One below. Including YLC form up to "Fishes in 8" lus some push hands and some punching and kicking practice.
MTG224 Chang Yiu-chun's Broadsword of the Yang Family Probably the most dangerous weapon ever invented, this form is also one of the greatest healing forms ever invented. It comes in a direct lineage from Yang Shou-hou and is considered to be the Original Yang Family Broadsword form of the Old Yang Style. With fa-jing movements, leaps and jumps, this form will balance you internally as well as balance out the amount of minerals and chemicals in your body. For fitness, there is nothing finer as it works every muscle and sinew in the body over only a five minute period. This is not the broadsword form that most people are used to seeing as it is based upon the Original Yang Lu-ch'an Taijiquan form and not the Yang Cheng-fu version.
MTG223: This is P'eng/Hinge On this tape, Erle Montaigue teaches the beautifully simple but deadly method of P'eng/Hinge. This method is inherent everywhere in Taijiquan and Baguazhang and if there would be an unbeatable fighting method, this should be it. If you can touch him, you can strike him, so why block! Why not block AND attack at the same time. If you can strike someone, you will also deflect his on-coming attack. Single Hand P'eng Methods, Two Hand P'eng Methods, Single Handed Hinge Methods, double handed Hinge Methods are shown plus some excellent training methods using two people to gain this method.
MTG222: Chang Yiu-chun's Deadly Pre-Emptive Attacking Methods, Including Timing Training Methods: In this tape, Erle Montaigue shows training methods to gain the all important fighting timing and distancing. He uses Chang's 8 Deadly Pre-Emptive attacks plus one of his own making. These attacking methods are some of the deadliest methods ever invented and are to be used only if it is really serious! Often we will need to attack before we are attacked ("If he attacks, hit him first") either in a one on one situation or in a multiple attacking situation. Erle shows how to pre-empt his attack and get in with deadly one two three and four attacks before he has even reacted. Erle shows Chang's deadly fists, 'Dog Fist' and 'Reverse Dog Fist' in a pre-emptive attacking method that will defeat on the first punch let alone on the next 3 or 4 instant attacks.
MTG221: Gaining Fa-jing Using the Ultimate Fa-jing Tool, Single Push Hands. Most so-called masters of Taijiquan regard single push hands as an entry into double push hands and usually push their students into double push hands long before they should even be thinking about it, or worse, by-passing single push hands altogether! The reason for this relatively modern trend lies in the reason now for doing Taijiquan. This reason is mainly for being good at push hands and not for why the art was originally invented, for self defence physically and internally. Masters and other teachers think that one=s ability in Taijiquan is concomitant with one=s push hands ability! This could not be further form the truth. If one practices a sophisticated self defence art such as Taijiquan to be good at one of its training methods only, then this is like purchasing a Porsche motor car and leaving it in the garage! Push hands, single or double or Da-Lu is only a passing or continuing phase in our total training and should only ever be looked upon as an excellent training method to gain what it is that we are striving for in our Taijiquan training. If one wishes to only be good at push hands, then that is all he or she has to practice! You would never have to learn form or fighting methods, only push hands, but that is where you will stay forever, being good at push hands! When I was first training, single push hands was the most important part of my initial training and I remember spending hours each day in its practice. Even when I was left alone to learn by myself using my own resources, it was single push hands that I would practice with my then students day in day out. Nowadays, when I am asked how I learnt about >fa-jing= (explosive energy strikes), I say that it is the amount of single push hands that I did in my earlier training. Single Push Hands also heals the mind and body, balancing the Yin and Yang Qi as well as giving tremendous internal power for fighting and healing. This is a new video covering how to perform small frame single push hands with particular attention to the fa-jing gaining area of this great training method.
MTG220 The Formal Day to Day training of the Montaigue Children: V. 2 Carries on from Volume One below. Including YLC form up to "Fishes in 8" plus some push hands and some punching and kicking practice.
MTG219: The Formal Day to Day training of the Montaigue Children: This is an excellent tape for anyone wishing to teach the Erle Montaigue System in that it shows the day to day way that Erle Montaigue teaches his own children. Every master wishes that his children will inherit the Family System. So Erle is teaching his children very pedantically! For instance in this first volume, they only get up to the first Double P'eng posture in a one hour tape! However, Erle also covers each major application for each posture as well as how to kick, punch and all other basics. Some Single push hands in also included. This is the MEDIUM FRAME form. Erle is able to do this as he has the time and teaches often only half of a move each day! This is not a replacement for MTG2 as it is so comprehensive and will only be suitable for those wishing to gain this form at its most pedantic level. It is slow but thorough! And it is advisable to only learn what the Children learn each day and not speed on too fast! We imagine that this series will be hefty to say the least as it will take the children right through from basics to very advanced over many years. So only purchase this series if you are really serious about learning and eventually teaching.
MTG218 (The Second Six Hand Weapons from Wudang) As all of the Internal forms and fighting styles came from the WUDANG SHAN system's 12 Wudang forms, so too do the two person sets from Taijiquan and Baguazhang come from the 12 Wudang Hand Weapon training sets. Before push hands, there were the 12 Wudang Hand Weapons. There are the precursors to push hands. Not the silly 'you push me, I push you' type of push hands that most schools now teach and often go into competition with! But rather the excellent p'eng/hinge, fighting push hands methods of today and the Erle Montaigue system. These 12 two person training methods teach you everything you need to know in order to turn your fighting into reflexive actions that will just happen automatically when attacked. If anyone asks me about what training methods I advise to learn how to fight, I tell them the 12 Wudang methods, along with most of the other stuff, but these are really special. They teach you fa-jing, how to use it, instant reaction, never stop attacking, how to move the body in a flowing energy saving manner, deadly fighting methods which attack to the most vulnerable points on the body, how to move in accordance with what the opponent is doing to you. How to do the most damage in the least possible time with the least wastage of energy. The hands are used in the way of their name. So the 'Spear' is used to cut and stab etc. In this 2nd volume, Erle Montaigue covers in his usual great detail, the last six hand weapons of: COMBINE HAND: This one combines many aspects of the first six methods and teaches us about instant attack and defence in any given situation. DART HAND: This method teaches us about the use of very quick hands in continually striking with different methods. One hand strikes as the other one controls etc., just like the Chinese weapon called the 'dart'. DRILLING HAND: This method teaches us about one of the most important methods of attack using drilling methods. SHOVEL or SPADE HAND: This one makes use of the flats of the palms for attack and defence as you would if you were using a shovel! DOUBLE BLADE HAND: This one uses the palms as if they were two blades in attack and defence. A very devastating method of self-defence also! STUMP PULLER HAND: This one has a lot of pushing (jerking) and pulling movements which work upon joints to dislocate them along with the more devastating dim-mak strikes.
MTG217: The Wudang Hand Weapons Volume One (The first six) As all of the Internal forms and fighting styles came from the WUDANG SHAN system's 12 Wudang forms, so too do the two person sets from Taijiquan and Baguazhang come from the 12 Wudang Hand Weapon training sets. Before push hands, there were the 12 Wudang Hand Weapons. There are the precursors to push hands. Not the silly 'you push me, I push you' type of push hands that most schools now teach and often go into competition with! But rather the excellent p'eng/hinge, fighting push hands methods of today and the Erle Montaigue system. These 12 two person training methods teach you everything you need to know in order to turn your fighting into reflexive actions that will just happen automatically when attacked. If anyone asks me about what training methods I advise to learn how to fight, I tell them the 12 Wudang methods, along with most of the other stuff, but these are really special. They teach you fa-jing, how to use it, instant reaction, never stop attacking, how to move the body in a flowing energy saving manner, deadly fighting methods which attack to the most vulnerable points on the body, how to move in accordance with what the opponent is doing to you. How to do the most damage in the least possible time with the least wastage of energy. The hands are used in the way of their name. So the 'Spear' is used to cut and stab etc. In this first volume, Erle Montaigue covers in his usual great detail, the first six hand weapons of: Hammer: This two person set makes use of the closed fist using the base of the fist as a hammer. It attacks the CO 10 or 12 points in a devastating 'Point Set Up' strike, ST 9 and 10 (neck), GB 3 (Temple) and again ST 9. Then in retaliation of this last strike, your partner then has a go. Spear: This one is deadly and caution must be taken when training as the eyes are involved. The points struck are; CO 10, eyes (scraping the finger nails across them), eyes (same in the opposite direction), CV 22 (by spearing it) and ST 10. Sword: This one is also very dangerous; CO 10 (Set Up), ST 0, ST 10, ST 11, TH 17, Neck in general, GB 3 (Temple) and ST 9 and 10. Plough: This one is wonderful as it trains your reflex actions to perfection; Neigwan (both hands), 4 Neck points, LU 5, CV 22 (Neck in general). Axe: This one attacks to; LU 8 (Both sides), Both sides of the neck chopping, chopping down onto either side of the neck covering many deadly points, back into LIV 13 both sides. The Nun: The 'Nun' is a 3 section Chinese implement for thrashing wheat or rice. It has been modified in its physical weapon form for fighting. This one attacks to mainly the neck and arms using the arms and hand weapons in the typical Bagua type 'Nun' posture so that the arms look like a 3 section staff.
MTG216: Sudden Violence Applications from Push Hands. This tape is a way of taking one's advanced push hands training into a realistic physical realm. We firstly take push hands into a completely reflex way of training so that the movements become sub-conscious. Then we use the ten training applications of sudden violence from Push hands to add to this abstract way, a more physical way of using push hands in order to join the sub-conscious to the physical. Ten applications from within push hands using the p'eng/hinge method of push hands does this for you. Very deadly and very useful both for training and for real self-defense.
MTG215: Yang Lu-chan Form Corrections Volume Six: Carries on from Volume Five and takes you through to the end of the form. This is the last in the series of corrections for Yang Lu-chans form.
MTG214: (Sudden Violence Volume 10) The Amazing Eye Attacks from the Internal Fighting Arts. You virtually have a loaded gun in your hands when you know these methods. It does not matter how big, or strong or how well he knows martial arts, no-one can defend against these deadly finger and palm methods to the eyes. But you have to know how as the eyes have their own self-defense mechanism which comes in automatically. So we have to know ways of shutting down this mechanism first!
MTG213 Yang Lu-chan Basic form Corrections Volume Five. Erle carries on with this series from the end of the postures known as "Fair Lady Works Shuttles. Again, going into great detail as to exactly how to perform this pinnacle of all Taijiquan forms.
MTG212: Sudden Violence Volume 9 (The Chang Yiu-Chun Way of Dim-Mak Against Weapons) This is definitely the last in the series of Sudden Violence. It was Chang's idea that if one could, sort of defend oneself against weapons then the empty hand defenses would come easier. And this is true. Chang taught me five methods against weapons. A short stick and a long stick which are indicative of just about any type of weapon. He would use his fingers as stabbing spears and his knife edge palm as well as his elbow in these methods. He said that one strike would stun, the second would knock out while the third would kill. Although these methods are not traditionally "Sudden Vio0lence" methods, they still use Sudden Violence as the motor so I have included them here in this series.
MTG211: Sudden Violence Volume 8. Training Methods for Sudden Violence. This volume teaches how to train in the 'Way' of Sudden Violence fighting and self-defense. It gives some excellent training methods in order to gain that instant and subconscious reaction time using the reptile brain. Possibly the last in the series?
MTG210 Yang Lu-ch'an (Old Yang Style) Corrections. Basic Form: Volume 4 . This volume takes you from the beginning of the 3rd third up to the end of the postures known as "Fair Lady Works Shuttles". This volume also contains some useful information about the one main thing that one has to master in Taijiquan in order to attain the 'Internal' and how to do it when practicing.
MTG209: Yang Lu-ch'an (Old Yang Style) Corrections. Basic Form: Volume . 3 This volume takes you up to the end of the 2nd third.
MTG208 Yang Lu-ch'an (Old Yang Style) Corrections. Basic Form: Volume 2. This volume takes you half way through the 2nd third.
MTG207: Yang Lu-ch'an (Old Yang Style) Corrections. Basic Form: Volume 1. Erle Montaigue corrects the Yang Lu-ch'an form on camera. Erle takes the students through each of the movements of this old form watching them and then correcting their mistakes. In this way, each person usually gets the same mistakes so in correcting on camera, you will also find many mistakes and be able to then correct them in great detail. This is an excellent way to not only correct your basic form but also the learn it! This volume takes you up to the end of the first third.
MTG206: The Three Energy Systems of the Human Body in the Martial/Healing Arts: How to activate them and how to use them. In this video, Erle Montaigue talks about the 3 energy systems in the human body. He discusses and shows how to firstly activate them and join them together in order to gain exceptional power over very short distances. He also shows a very special qigong method which activates and builds upon that power. The internal power is housed in all of the joints of the body, in particular the "Sub-Tailar Joint". When one knows how to join this internal power with our external power, great power is felt. You can then use this power in daily tasks or for instance in sports like shot-put, or for healing or fighting. This tape was shot at Erle's recent WTBA annual workshop.
MTG205: Wudang Form (Qi Disruption) No. 12, Volume Two MTG204: Wudang Form (Qi Disruption) No. 12, Volume One Wudang Form (Qi Disruptive Form) No. 12 is the last in the series and is called "Finishing Form" as it completes the set. This form is the epitome of the Chinese way of integrating healing into the fighting methods. It is an excellent way to lose weight, to keep a youthful appearance and to keep one's Life-force at a high level. It works upon the Kidney Jing both physically and internally. This form is both physical and internal in that the movements are not easy to perform with many of the very low movements not unlike some of the Shaolin forms. This works upon the Kidneys, Liver and Spleen. In fact, there are 12 main parts to this form with each part working upon a main meridian. There are more than 12 movements but all are either one of the 12 main movements or derivations of them. There is quite a potent Qigong method again in this form which also works directly upon the tantien balancing out effectively the amount of Yin and Yang energy. By the time the masters of old got to working out this form, they were beginning to understand exactly how movement and internal Qi movement worked hand-in-hand so this form more-so than any others is closer to what we now know to be Taijiquan.
MTG203: Wudang Form (Qi Disruption) No. 11. Volume 2. 2nd part of this Wudang Form No. 11.
MTG202: Wudang Form (Qi Disruption) No. 11. Volume 1. Called the Prenatal form, this one is very powerful working upon the prenatal Qi. Before we are born, our three parts, spirit, mind and body are as one. Once we are born, (postnatal) over time, we begin to see those three separate into their respective keeping places in the body. So they because separated as we become more human. This No. 11 form rejoins those three areas as much as possible given that we are human beings. So a much more balanced life and mind follow the use of this form. Prenatal and Tortoise breathing methods are used during this form/Qigong. Some of the health benefits are: Weight loss, helping to fix impotence in men and low libido in both sexes as it works upon the life force and Kidney Qi. It also helps with diabetes as this condition is also related to Kidney Qi. This form contains some very powerful Qigong methods as well as some very physical movements that work upon the hip area thus, as the Chinese say, gives a youthful appearance. This is also gained when one enhances Kidney Qi.
MTG 200 Qi Disruption Form/Kata: Wudang Form No. 10: Volume Two: This volume finishes the No. 10 form and begins with the very potent Yin Qigong method. This form contains two very powerful Qigong methods as well as some very violent and deadly fighting methods. The Qigongs are in two parts, a yin and a yang part. They will show you how to gather the Qi and then use it in everyday life or in the fighting area or healing area.
MTG 199: Qi Disruption Form/Kata No. 10 VOLUME No. one (This form will be in two volumes due to its complicated way and the need to teach it in great detail slowly).The Still Form or Form of StillnessThis is the 10th in the series of Qi Disruption or WUDANG SHAN system tapes.It is called Still because this is the first form that deals totally with Qi development and use.In this form we see the beginning of Taijiquan as we now have a few explosive movements (fa-jing) as well as a slowing down of the form postures. This is because we are trying to concentrate a large amount of Qi down into a fine line for use either in healing or in the fighting arts. If for instance you take a 12 inch pipe through which a volume of water is flowing, you might be able to stand in front of it and take a shower. However, if you were to then force that flow at the same rate to flow through a inch pipe, it would cut you in two! Or like when we go out in to the light of day, it is pleasant but when that very same light is concentrated down into a laser light is can cut you and drill holes in you and other things.
MTG198: Secrets of Yang Lu-ch'an Form (Volume One) Advanced Old Yang Style of Yang Lu-chan (The Scapular) In this tape done at Erle Montaigues workshop in October in the UK, he teaches the use of the scapular and how it moves in accordance with yin and yang thus creating great power in striking. The scapular are part of our power system and also another way of helping to gain the illusive Sung in Taijiquan. This peculiar scapular movement is only taught in the Yang Lu-chan form.
MTG197 Fa-jing & P'eng/Hinge Training In this tape, Erle takes you through one of the very best training methods for developing fighting skills. This method is also used as one of the better self defence systems in itself! Erle shows using this method that you are able to defend against all types of attack using only this method. Combine it with the devastating power of 'Fa-jing' and you have a most helpful training tape. erle, goes deeper into how to gain Fa-jing in your punches and other attacks.
MTG 196 Yang Cheng-fu Form Corrections Volume Three. Carries on with the corrections of this great form from Volume Two MTG189. This is the last in the series.
MTG195 SUDDEN VIOLENCE VOLUME 7 Definitely the last one in the series. This volume deals with hands and feet working together. A little more complicated than previous volumes, however, these methods are just a deadly and useful. Also covered is the very basic 'motor' of Sudden Violence", The Old way of Attack Push Hands, without which it is very difficult to learn Sudden Violence methods.
MTG194 Bagua Training Methods Volume One: This is the first of the Bagua specific training methods tapes. On this tape, Erle Montaigue shows some of the very best training methods from this great fighting system including the little known 'Bagua disperse hands' training method. He also shows the 'Bagua Twitch' which will teach you about reflex offensive methods and how to gain great power from only a short distance away from the attacker.
MTG193 Sudden Violence Volume Six This is the final (maybe) in this series and is the culmination of all that you have learnt in the first five volumes. Erle covers multiple attack situations using Sudden Violence as well as initial attack situations. An interesting section in also included dealing with the 'Dim-Mak Claw" in sudden violence situations.
MTG192: Developing Your Internal energy in Yang Lu-ch'an's Form On this tape Erle Montaigue teaches about the 6 balanced pairs of body parts that must be balanced yin and yang in order to gain the most from your Taijiquan training. In fact without these pairs balanced and corresponding to their internal organ pairs and meridians then you might as well go home as far as Taijiquan is concerned. gaining the 'Internal' is the most important area of one's Taijiquan training and this is the starting point.
MTG191 Sudden Violence Volume Five On this tape, Erle Montaigue takes you through some of the sudden violence methods used against attackers who will rush at you, like for instance a football player who is used to doing this. The basic principles are always adhered to, however, special emphasis must be placed upon evasion and surprise so that the attacker's 'switches' are confused. Erle shows the high type of attack as well as when someone goes low as in a rugby type of tackle.
MTG190 Developing the Internal Energy I discovered that many of my students, although they had the physical movements correct, they just werent getting the internal development. So I took a look at what they were dong and developed a way of teaching how using what they already knew, form and push hands. Now, most them at least have a better understanding of how to gain it and how to use it. (The Internal Qi)
MTG189 Yang Cheng-fu Form Corrections Volume Two On this volume you are taken up to the end of the second third of the Yang style Taijiquan of Yang Cheng-fu. This is done in a class situation where students are corrected on camera as most people tend to get the same mistakes. 1 Hour & 5 minutes
MTG188 Sudden Violence Volume Four On this volume, Erle Montaigue presents again some of the most deadly fighting methods. This time mainly from Baguazhang. Three of them use extensively the elbow while one inolves the use of chokers and palms. Again, erle goes into knife fighting methods at the end of this volume. 1 Hour and 5 minutes
MTG187: Sudden Violence Volume Three: Erle Montaigue continues with the Sudden Violence Series. This time from Wales in the UK and then back to Australia. Five sudden violence methods are presented on this tape. Five of the most deadly fighting methods ever, concentrating upon the more 'straight line' approach. Also on this tape is a small section toward the end dealing with 'Silly Knife Fighting Methods'. In other words, what NOT to do when confronted with a person with a knife. You would not believe some of the knife defenses so-called masters, of knife defense teach people, methods that would get their students killed! Duration: 1 Hour & 6 Minutes
MTG186: Qi Development Tools Volume One: In this series, Erle Montaigue shows some of the best methods for developing the Qi using stand-alone Qigong methods as well as methods taken from the Taijiquan forms and used as stand-alone methods. This series is essential to one's Taijiquan training and internal martial/healing arts training in general. All of these methods have been tried and tested and only the very best are taught. The whole series is like a tool box of interesting and very helpful tools for the development and maintenance of your own Qi level, flow and general health and wellbeing as well as enhancing your own martial art and internal power. This tape also comes to you from Australia and Oslo Norway from Erle's March 1999 workshop tour. Duration: 1 Hour and 6 minutes.
MTG185 Sudden Violence, Volume Two: The Erle Montaigue System On this volume, Erle continues the sudden violence series showing the most dangerous fighting and self-defense methods ever invented. ON this volume Erle takes you through more of the centrifugal methods and begins with the next phase that of beginning with the more linear methods showing choke holds and neck breakers along with the fa-jing attacking methods. This tape comes to you from Oslo in Norway, Manchester in the UK and Wales in the UK as does the beginning of Volume three, where Erle was holding a European workshop tour. Duration: One hour and Six Minutes. MTG184 Sudden Violence, Volume One: The Erle Montaigue System On this series, Erle Montaigue presents his "Sudden Violence" method of fighting. This series presents the raw, deadly and extremely violent fighting methods necessary for any realistic confrontation. If you do not have 'Animal Violence" then you will lose. "Animal Violence" is not being 'angry' as anger will only cause you to be defeated. Violence in fighting is a sub-conscious reaction to a survival situation where we are able to go into the Reptile Brain part of our brain sub-consciously in order to survive in just the same way that any animal does. On the other side of the coin, "Sudden Violence" also teaches us how to heal as all of the prerequisites necessary for self-defense using "Sudden Violence" are also necessary for the two area of healing; healing others and healing ourselves. Here, Erle presents the pure mechanics of violent fighting showing very dangerous and violent fighting methods, never giving a sucker an even break! If you can hit him once, then hit him ten times! In two sections, Erle presents firstly on this tape some of the 'centrifugal' Sudden Violence methods. These will continue in to volume two and then he will present the 'Straight Line' methods. Although the straight line methods are also circular, they contain very small circular movements and so are not as easy to learn as the purely centrifugal methods. Obviously, you cannot learn the Erle Montaigue system of 'Sudden Violence' without having some knowledge of Dim-Mak, so Erle also explains exactly what points you are striking and the correct directions and pressure (usually full on!). Anyone can learn the extremely street oriented method of 'Sudden Violence", however, those who have some knowledge of the Internal Principles of 'Sung', 'Fa-Jing' and 'Continuous Flowing Movement' will learn quicker. In many cases these methods have changed the stiffer types of martial art to a more flowing system which is what we need in the street if we are to survive. As usual, This series is filmed while Erle is in full teaching mode so that every tiny area will be covered by seeing what the students are doing wrong and correcting them on camera.

Exactly how to perform this Qigong and more importantly what is going on inside and how to perform Qigong internally. How to breathe and some very special Qigong hand methods are shown. If you thought you knew about Qigong, then get this tape! It will take you to new heights in your Qigong practice. MTG 174: Erle Montaigue Does It Vol. 2 On this tape Erle Montaigue performs as he would in his own morning training session, the Yang Cheng-fu form at its small frame level. Erle Also performs the No. 8 (Ground Form) Qi Disruptive Kata and the No. 9 (Wuji) Qi disruptive Kata. Again, these are done with one static camera, very basic and it is not to learn the forms but rather to have some idea of what they look like at their most advanced level.
Fighting Methods Vol. 2 (MTG 173) On this tape, Erle carries on with the fighting methods series. Here he includes many deadly BAGUAzhang fighting methods as well as some Taijiquan methods. These are not only fighting methods however, they are considered to be the "mother methods" from whence all other techniques come. The internal Fighting Systems give us the bare essentials to understand self-defence. However, out of these fighting methods there are literally hundreds of techniques. These methods teach us to go internal and defend at a sub-conscious level. The Dim-Mak applications are also included on in this series. Included is the BAGUA Dragon Fighting method of yang Dragon, the 'Soft' Dragon and the 'Elusive Dragon'. Also covered are many of the 'Snake' methods as well as the 'Phoenix' methods. Internal Gung-fu Vol. 6 (MTG172) This is P'eng/Hinge On this tape, Erle Montaigue teaches the beautifully simple but deadly method of P'eng/Hinge. This method is inherent everywhere in Taijiquan and Baguazhang and if there would be an unbeatable fighting method, this should be it. If you can touch him, you can strike him, so why block! Why not block AND attack at the same time. If you can strike someone, you will also deflect his on-coming attack. Single Hand P'eng Methods, Two Hand P'eng Methods, Single Handed Hinge Methods, double handed Hinge Methods are shown plus some excellent training methods using two people to gain this method.

The Mighty BAGUAzhang Wooden Man Vol. 1 (MTG 169) This wooden man set from BAGUAzhang is one of the best, not only teaching techniques, but also body mechanics and qi flow etc. It is also one of the rarest training sets from BAGUAzhang, invented by Chiang Jung-zhiao. On this volume, Erle shows how to perform the first four of eight sets along with their self-defence applications. This form is great for building up all of the correct muscles for self-defence. (Duration: 1 hour & 10 minutes)
Erle Montaigue Does It Vol. 1 (MTG168) This tape is simply Erle Montaigue doing his early morning training at his own level. This is important as it gives an idea as to the future of your own training. You have in your mind's eye what the form looks like at such an advanced stage of 'Small Frame Form". So when it comes your time to advance naturally with the qi telling you what to do, you will not resist this as you have already seen it. You should not of course attempt to learn physically from this series as to do so would be not constructive at all! It just gives you a picture of what comes at some later stage. You MUST crawl before you can walk. On this first volume, Erle practices on his own with a static camera set up on its own, with one simgle view and performs the Yang Lu-ch'an's form at the Small Frame
Level, plus the first seven Qi Disruptive Katas, done at their explosive pace. Again, it is impossible to learn the phsyical movements from these tapes, but essential to see it done.
Advanced Push Hands (Correction) Vol. 9 (MTG 167) Carries on with the excellent series on this no nonsense, manner of this great training method.
Fighting Methods of Internal Gung-fu Vol. 1 (MTG 166) On this tape Erle Montaigue shows how to use Intenral Gung-fu for self defence using traditional training/fighting methods and techniques.

Each method gives you different ways of fighting in a small set of deadly techniques from BAGUAzhang. The Snake Fighting Method. From Baguazhang.
Da-Lu: The Great Repulse Vol. 1 (MTG165) This training exercise (like push hands), teaches much in the way of self defence. It is an integral tool in one's self-defence training.

Qi Disruptive Kata No. 8 (MTG 157) The "Earth or Ground" form, this one is one of the most powerful of these qi disruptive katas having two very powerful qigong methods along with some extremely dangerous self defence methods. This kata teaches how we use every movement, no matter how small to set up teach following movement in a free-flowing, but illogical fighting method. Illogical? Yes, because that's how fighting happens, you cannot use a logical martial art for street fighting.

MTG54 TRAINING METHODS Vol. 1. THE POST: Here, Erle shows the singular most important exercise in one's internal training. This is a relatively simple exercise that teaches so much about self defense in an abstract way. Two 'Post Exercises', one from BAGUAzhang called 'Cross Stepping post' and the other from Taiji called 'Stepping Over The Gate'. These two exercises give every thinkable internal body movement for self defense without having to think too hard. Probably one of the most valuable training aids ever. We have sold many of this title and everyone who purchases it tells us that they have gained a huge amount of knowledge and training from the two post exercises. They teach you about balance, timing and yin and yang coordination. And more importantly how to 'sink the Qi'. With these exercises, your level of competence will increase greatly in any martial art.

MTG51 COMBAT PUSH HANDS Vol. one. Not your normal push hands but how to use this training method to gain self defense. Not actually using the movements from push hands but a completely different way of doing it to gain self defense. Gaining self-defense from push hands is an abstract thing. We use push hands as a kind of abstract way of fighting. All of the fighting methods are there, all of the movement is there, but no actual fighting! The 'fighting' is done abstractly which is the best way for the sub-conscious mind to learn about fighting, because your fighting method then becomes completely reflex. And push hands at an advanced level such as shown on this tape is one of the only methods to turn your fighting art into reflex actions. DURATION APPROX: 1hr. 40 mins.

KD 1 point releases stored Qi when the person has died! This often works to revive a dead person provided that the trauma has not been too great of course.

Fa-Jing, the engine of dim-mak and the internal arts is covered as is dim-mak and the psychology of fighting. The real meaning of "to yield" is explained physically as opposed to the generally accepted idea. Erle explains some excellent way sof getting in in order to use the Dim-mak strikes. How to take your art to its internal level is also discussed. Erle teaches that the harder the attack the harder your defense is made automatically when you use internal methods. He explains and shows how to use rebound energy from an attacker's force to put it back onto him. The mind is talked about and shown physically how to ride over one's conditioned instincts so that we make the most out of our own power. The Old Man stance and body posture is explained and shown in gaining power from within. Fa-jing is also taught in a more realistic manner. And Erle demonstrates that there are no pulls or pushes in Taijiquan! These are left to the 'Space Cadets' who think that Taijiquan is some sort of 'nice' way of fighting! Releasing the energy when fighting. The Psychology of fighting is covered in a realistic way. When it comes down to it, there IS no psychology in fighting, there is only reflex! Some really necessary fighting methods for the street are shown in this tape. DURATION: 1Hr. & 40 Minutes
MTG40 BAGUA ESSENTIALS V. 3: THE FORM APPLICATIONS & DIM-MAK. Every conceivable application is covered here using the BAGUA circular form.

In this tape the first two palm changes are covered. The applications from BAGUAzhang are what makes it different. Natural flowing an economical fighting techniques that cause your attacker to think he is being hit by a truck that has turned into a whirlwind!

MTG39 BAGUA ESSENTIALS VOLUME 2. Hands & Feet Exactly what the hands & feet are doing in great detail. Also some techniques using fa-jing. The hands & feet are the grounding for BAGUA and so this video is very important in this series. Covered in the most intricate form. In BAGUAzhang, the feet and hands move independently to each other sub-consciously. The feet and hands are obviously the most important area of one's BAGUA training. This method of stepping and use of the palms will enhance any martial system as many of the Karate systems have come from BAGUAzhang. BAGUA has the fastest stepping methods of any martial art and although the hands move independently to the feet, they both work in complete harmony automatically to defeat an attacker using his own energy against him. DURATION: 1Hr. & 10 Minutes
MTG/38 BAGUAzhang Essentials Vol. 1: The Classics Here, Erle Montaigue takes you right from the beginning in such detail that has never been presented before on video or in books. Like his Taiji Intricacies series, Erle covers the most minute details in this series. In this volume, Erle demonstrates the Classics of Sun Luc-tang and Chiang Jung-chiao, two of the main contributors to BAGUA and considered to be the best masters of all. The 'Classics' are the writings left to us from the Masters of old, the genius who invented this system. Reading the written word takes a bit of working out as they have been translated from Chinese to English and often in rhyming couplets. So you have to be taught the classics by someone who is experienced in BAGUAzhang in order to show the classics and this involves a person who has been practicing the art for many years and whose teachers are of the highest quality. The teacher must have taken the 'Classics' internally so that he or she is able to show what they mean physically as this is the only way to learn the classics. Hidden within the classics is all that there is to know about BAGUAzhang apart from the physical learning of the forms and fighting methods. Duration: 1Hour & 30 Minutes
MTG/37 The Erle Montaigue System, Vol. 3 Also, Dim-Mak Intricacies Vol. 3 This is the follow on from No. MTG36.

A great training method from BAGUAzhang involving the Dim-Mak point called GB 22 is shown. GB 22 is a knock out and Qi drainage point and this training method teaches how to get at this dangerous point. A training method form 'Xingyi' which involves the open and closed sides training and the foot slapping method. Called the "4 Striking Method". This could also come from the postures from Taiji called "Sit back ready". It teaches fa-jing and there are four methods. Each of the four methods follow each other in a solo training routine as well as putting the whole ting together with a partner. Points shown are GB 14, PC 6, CV 22, GV 26, TH 17, SI 17. Attack/Defense training is one of the best ways to learn about 'Street Fighting' and some really good methods are included here. training against kicks is also shown using this method. ST 9 is the main point taught here. Also shown are some really sneaking attacking methods that will have you at the advantage. Eagle Vision training is taught which is an excellent way for the novice (someone not versed in the Montaigue System) to get into this way of fighting. Here we use striking to our partner as he or she moves all over the place. We must not however, see with our focus vision. BAGUA circle fighting training is also shown on this tape. Duration: 1 Hour & 43 Minutes.
MTG/36 Dim-Mak Intricacies Vol. 2 This volume continues the excellent information on Dim-Mak.

Also on this video women's self defense using dim-mak and using dim-mak against kicks. This is an excellent tape in this series.

This video is a template that any martial artist is able to borrow and place over the top of his or her own martial art. Also included on this tape are some important Qigong methods for gathering and storing the Qi. DURATION: 2 Hours
MTG31 Taiji Sword/Knife. This is how the sword form was done at an advanced level, with a small knife in the other hand, the one that normally holds the "knife fingers". The knife was added later so that the beginning student would not cut his fingers off! Both forms are shown, beginners and advanced "sword/knife" form. The more normal form without the knife is taught first, then the whole form is taught using the knife, when to bring it out and when to conceal it. Some interesting training exercises to gain dexterity are also shown.

MTG/25 BAGUA Fighting Techniques And. Training Methods How to use BAGUAzhang for fighting. The 32 main fighting techniques are given plus some rare training methods. BAGUAzhang has a way of teaching how to use the postures from the circular form. This two person set teaches this area. BAGUA is one of the only systems, apart from Taijiquan, that gives us a set routine to learn how to use the martial applications. Using natural body movement and always adjusting to what the opponent is doing rather than trying to use a set defense method, the 32 Fighting Methods will teach you much more than just the techniques. It will also teach you about timing, coordination and most importantly 'balance'. Not only physical balance but also internal balance of Yin and Yang. These Fighting Methods are some of the most deadly ever invented with many even thinking that BAGUA is TOO deadly! This tape takes you through step-by-step in learning these methods in the traditional Erle Montaigue meticulous manner with every tiny detail shown in great detail. You can either learn them by yourself or to get the most benefit, it is advisable to have a partner with whom to train. But be warned, these techniques are so natural and flowing that many have been damaged even in training as the energy in the beginning is very powerful. DURATION: 1 hour.
MTG 24 T'ai Chi Corrections: Small San-Sau Here, Erle Montaigue corrects on camera a student's advanced small san-sau. In this way students can see what they themselves are doing wrong and how to correct it. Small san-sau is the best method to learn about point strikes, how to strike then, whree to strike, the correct direction and the correct pressure etc. In this tape, Erle shows a little more advanced methods of this exercise and corrects on camera common mistakes, a most useful tape. DURATION: 1 Hour
MTG/23 Advanced Dim-Mak & Dim-Mak Antidotes There are up to four ways to strike at the dim-mak points with 4 different effects. Like draining the energy from the seat of power to cause someone to fall down, not knowing why they have done so. This video shows all the different ways for the main easy to get at points for fighting. Also shown are the antidotes for each point. This is the main video on Dim-Mak to begin with. Although this is my entrace video, it is more advanced than most people's most advanced tapes and many have tried to copy from this tape pretending that it is in their own style! Or that they learnt it from some old Japanese Sensei etc. DURATION: 2.15 hours.
MTG/22 T'AI CHI HEALING AND IRON SHIRT QIGONG This video is THE video for the healing art of T'ai Chi Ch'uan. Here you not only learn which postures heal what and which organs they treat, but also the opposite (yin or yang) posture to treat a specific yin or yang disease state of that organ. Also on this video is the very rare "IRON SHIRT QIGONG". Nowadays because of these videos, people know about the very deadly dim-mak strikes from T'ai chi. Now we teach you how to defend against them by using qigong to strengthen those points on your own body. DURATION: 2 Hours.
MTG/21 Taiji Secrets & Taiji Dim-Mak Applications This is THE Video on advanced taijiquan. This one includes the very advanced fourth level of both the old and new Yang styles and they are done all the way through non stop showing the very important OPENING AND CLOSING postures. The 'opening' and 'closing' movements are also called 'yin and yang' movements. The whole body
must be in a balanced state of yin and yang not only the weight distribution on the legs. This tape shows you how to gain that internal balance. It can be used by any Taiji stylist to learn about the avanced methods of form practice. Also on this video are the taiji applications of the postures in DIM-MAK. Evey movement in taijiquan means something where dim-mak is concerned. Every tiny movement is either a full dim-mak strike or inculded in a combination of strikes. As well, the twelve secret circular palm techniques are included. These are probably the most deadly hand techniques of any martial art. These were taught on Wudang Mountain as a precursor to the very secret "Qi Disruptive Forms" of which there are 12. Nine are included in this catalogue with the other 3 only being taught personally to the most advanced students at present. DURATION: 3 Hours (2 DVVD Mredia)
MTG20 Advanced Push Hands Volume One. This is the advanced version of Video No.5 and deals with the very rare push hands techniques of "Peng/Hinge", "Square", and "Small Circle Ch'i-na" Pushing Hands. This is where we learn about T'ai Chi and the push hands for fighting and not just to gain timing balance and coordination. Many more techniques are also covered for the more normal "p'eng, lu, chi, arn" pushing hands. This is where you get serious about learning Taijiquan! This is where you leave behind your basic training and especially your basic pushing hands which essentially is flawed because it is for beginners. It is impossible to teach beginners advanced methods, so in teaching beginners the way of push hands has to be modified so that the stark beginner can understand what to do. Sadly, most people only ever see this basic level or "I push you, you push me"! However, there ARE no pushes in Taijiquan as it is a most devastating martial art and it would bring disaster to push someone in a real fighting situation! So when you get to the advanced method, you begin to learn Taijiquan as a real streetwise self-defense art and not a silly pushing sport! Push hands at its more advanced levels is the very best training method to teach self-defense.

MTG/10 QIGONG: Basic to Advanced Principles & Practice This video teaches the very important QIGONG basics to Advanced which is the foundation of your T'ai Chi training. Static and moving stances utilizing breathing techniques. Essential for self healing. All of Taiji (T'ai Chi) is regarded as qigong. However, while you learn your Taiji form, it is the qigong that will give you the greatest benefit health wise, until the Taiji form is able to be performed without thinking and in perfect balance. It may take up to 3 years for the Taiji form to become perfect enough for you to gain the great benefits that this exercise imparts, so the qigong helps out during this time. DURATION: 1.5 Hours.
MTG/9 Tung's Fast Form This video teaches TUNG'S FAST FORM. Invented by the great Tung Ying-Chieh, one of Yang Cheng-Fu's main students, it includes fast and slow parts. It takes only around 4 minutes to perform and has some aspects of both T'ai Chi, Pa-Kua and H'sin-I. Tung was not happy with the all slow moving form from Yang Cheng-fu, so he invented his own fast form to compensate for the lack of explosive moves in the Cheng-fu form. It is good for self-defence and for health. DURATION: 30 minutes.
MTG/8 Internal Weapon Forms This video teaches three of the internal style weapons. Double Pa-Kua knife (small sword) which is performed around the circle, Pa-Kua staff, this one is quite energetic using a long pole in eight sections. Short T'ai Chi Stick form plus two person san-sau (fighting set) using the sticks. The Short Taiji Stick Form is quite rare, and was only ever done by the Yang Shou-hou side of the Yang Family. It is regarded by many as the pinnacle of weapons forms from Taijiquan. Please note that the quality of this tape is not good but OK to learn from as it was done way back in our infancy as far as production was concerned. The quality of the content howver, is excellent. DURATION: 2 Hours.
MTG/7 Advanced Techniques Of Taiji & Pa-Kua This Video teaches some of the advanced training methods from T'ai Chi and Pa-kua. Basics are also covered, including punching and kicking.

MTG4 BAGUAzhang The Complete Basic System This Video teaches the complete basic system of BAGUAzhang including the classical circular form as well as the more explosive linear fighting form and pushing hands. Also included are fighting techniques as well as both of the forms done at full speed non stop at the end of the program. This is one of the more beautiful martial arts, and also the most deadly. It has an amazing healing affect as well. Most of the old. BAGUA Masters all lived to grand old ages and in good health. Again, if you are not really that well of fit, do not begin with this martial art as it requires much twisting and turning of the waist. This is the basic tape. The 'Linear' form is the longest form or kata of any martial art. If you can get through the circular and the linear form every morning then your health will greatly improve as will your fitness. This system will give you a more natural way of moving in your own martial art, giving more power for less energy used. Strike with devastating palm strikes from only a few inches away and still have knock out power. Baguazhang is a Dim-Mak art in that it only strikes to vital points on the human body to cause either great pain or death. It is also used however, as a great healing art either for self-healing or the healing of others. The main form is performed around the circumference of a circle, the premise being that your attacker in the centre of this circle. You are continually moving your centre around the attacker and eventually your centre is locked onto his so that whatever he does, you will react instantly without thinking because his Qi causes you to react in exactly the correct manner. BAGUA is often called the "Art of Overkill" Which is the title of my new complete book on this amazing martial system. BAGUA gets the job done using the most deadly strikes. There are two ways that BAGUA works: The smaller person's way and the larger person's way. The larger person will use more straight line attacks because he can! The palms become extremely powerful and 'heavy' when the Qi accumulates in them from this type of practice. This Qi can then be used either to damage or heal depending upon what is in your mind at the time. DURATION: 2 hours.
MTG3 Pauchui or Cannon Fist Form & San-sau (Taijiquan) This video teaches the little known Pauchui or cannon fist form from the Yang Lu-Ch'an style of T'ai Chi Ch'uan. This form also comes from the Yang Shou-hou side of the family and so it is more martial. The whole form is explosive and is quite energetic. later, after the A and B sides have been learnt, we are able to put the both sides together with a partner as they are complimentary, to learn how to use T'ai chi as a fighting art. In the beginning, both partners perform a sort of 'dance', but later, the techniques can be done out of place with the other person having to react instantly with the correct defensive technique. DURATION: 2 Hours
MTG/2 Yang Lu-Ch'an Old Yang Style Form This video teaches the Old Yang Style of Yang Lu-Ch'an. This is the Yang style before it was changed by Yang Cheng-fu to what we know today. The movements are not all slow. There are fa-jing (explosive energy) movements all through this form. It is quite energetic with leaping kicks and explosive punches. This style was taught to Erle Montaigue by Chang Yiu-chun, one of the main students of Yang Shou-hou, the Brother of Yang Cheng-fu. Shou-hou did not change his grandfather's style. This video, because it is quite long does not include the basic qigong. It teaches both the martial art of Taijiquan and the healing art. DURATION: 2 hours.
MTG1 Yang Cheng-Fu Form This video is the beginners video. It is the basic Yang Cheng-fu Taiji form taught in a step by step way so that one is able to literally teach oneself. This is the one that most people buy first of all regardless of how advanced they are. Every movement is gone over, stopping and starting to show important parts. Also included on this tape is the all important basic QIGONG, which is the most integral part of anyone's T'ai Chi training. This basic form is comprised of around 300 postures all linked together in an all flowing graceful whole, which when performed daily will aid in the healing of the body and mind. At an advanced stage, these movements are able to be used also for external self defence. This form is more healing than martial art, although it is said that Yang Cheng-fu changed the form only enough to leave in the internal essence of the form If you are older, or not able to perform more energetic movement, then this is the one to begin with. DURATION: 2 hours & 5 minutes.
