Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Grappling is not superior, just different, says Erle Montaigue, a former pro wrestler himself. Here he takes you inside the mind of the grappler and reveals his strategy, thus taking away his edge. Learn to target the most vulnerable points and apply foolproof dim-mak sleeper holds to counter the moves grapplers will use in any no-holds-barred fight.


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

3.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, April 12, 2003
By "scrapfighter" (United States) - See all my reviews
This book is very good...in my opinion. I only have 3 stars because I'm very picky in order for my review to be taken seriously. It's not the BEST book out there, but it definitely is not a bad one either. It shows some common basics such as punching with REAL and TREMENDOUS power...a skill often overlooked by many stand up fighters, because if they could hit harder, then all they would have to do is hit a grappler once. "When in doubt go for the neck" is one of my favorite quotes from this book. It tells of how to really take an attacker out, which is why this is such a good book. It is also very specific about how to do each technique in the book...which is good if you know nothing about this art. I train in the Japanese form of this Dim Mak, called Kyusho-Jitsu, and I have tremendous respect for the Chinese form after reading this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT STUDY !!!!!, July 12, 2002
This book is great, and I just cant overstate that enough! This book has really good training techniques that can easily be learned from unlike many other books! how to develop your "eagle vision" improve accuracy etc. also shows 5 sleeper holds that will leave them lying! definately a good companion to add to any library. like many of mr. montaigue's books this book would be a great training guide whether a novice or advanced martial artist this book would be most benificial! know how to deal with a grappler by understanding his game and defeating him with your own by beating him before he can get you to the ground! or if he is lucky enough to have gotten you there learn dim-mak points that are easily managed from the ground by merely pinching! does not show you subnission holds, or grappling possitions. but rather how to avoid the ground in the first place. sounds to good to be true, or like someone thinking "im to good to be taken to the ground!" i know submissoins, and how to grapple. i know a little dim-mak, but i also know that if you study this book, then you will never be at a loss against a good grappler agian. A MUST READ!!
