Book Description

About the Author
Erle Montaigue was the first Westerner to be granted the degree of "Master" in taijiquan and dim-mak. In 1995 Erle was invited to study with Liang Shih-kan, the leader and "keeper" of the now almost extinct forerunner to taijiquan, the Wutan Shan System of Boxing, thus becoming the only Westerner and one of a handful of people to be taught the nine qi-disruptive methods. He serves as head of the World Taiji Boxing Association (WTBA), which has schools in more than 30 countries. He is highly regarded internationally as one of the leading instructors of the internal martial arts, including taijiquan

This book explains it all,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dim-Maks 12 Most Deadly Katas: Points of No Return (Paperback)
The Methods used in this book are based upon the internal martial arts so you have to have an open mind when reading, its the only way to learn. Excellent book.

No BS, just good instruction,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dim-Maks 12 Most Deadly Katas: Points of No Return (Paperback)
I'm only really writing this review as an answer to the one presently listed at the mo. I do really feel that people have got it in for Erle and his books, and this comes across in some reviews of his work. I don't agree with everything he's written, but I do know what works. I've had this book for a number of years now, and it does exactly what it says in the title: show you the 12 circular dim-mak forms of the Old Yang style taiji - no more, and certainly no less. It's not a pretty book to look at, but there's certainly no BS in there. I've had experience of several grappling styles, as well as karate, kung-fu, tae-kwon-do, boxing and kickboxing, as well as taiji and several forms of bagwa and hsing-I over the past twenty-five years, and I'll simply say this: as good as I was at boxing and judo, (and I wasn't too bad at all of them), I never fully "understood" grappling or striking until I put these forms into practice - it din't come immediately, but after practicng these short forms foe just a little while, I "knew" how to throw/strike/and grapple, it was just a case of putting the hard work in of learning the forms and chi-gung at my bodies own pace.Yes, this stuff does work, and it'll probably enhance your other activities. If you don't want this stuff to work, it never fully will- but learn them and see for yourself. All you need for self-defence is in this little book, it just takes a bit of time and practice, that's all.

Don't even think of buying this book. Total BS.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dim-Maks 12 Most Deadly Katas: Points of No Return (Paperback)
I have 17 years of experience in martial arts, including experience in Kyusho-Jitsu (pressure point fighting). This book is a total waste of money. This guy is a joke because he even doesn't know about simple cycle of destruction between five elements, which is the most important part in pressure point fighting.
