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 review is from: The Extra Meridians, Points, And More (Encyclopedia Of Dim-Mak) (Paperback)

Mr. Montaigue's companion volume to the Dim Mak encyclopedia is a welcome addition to his outstanding series of Dim Mak titles. This book covers point strikes to the extraordinary meridians (covered in TCM theory), as well as additional information concerning the medical effects of point strikes to the human body. This book along with its companion "The Encyclopedia of Dim Mak" are excellent reference material for those wishing to learn more about both the damage and healing which this art can be used for.
