Erle Montaigue's Next Invitation Only Instructor and Senior Student Class: (roughly every 6 weeks) It is important for WTBA instructors to at least come to a lesson or 2 every year for corrections and catch up etc. Those who do not come to at least 2 classes per year without a valid reason, will from now onward be struck off the WTBA register. And having no money is no valid excuse as you all know that you are welcome to come even for free if you really cannot afford the small amount that is asked. Of course those instructors in Australia have a valid reason and in the USA as it costs so much to get here. However, those of you who live in the immediate area should attend if you wish to keep teaching under the WTBA banner. Those valid instructors will receive an invitation from our Secretary, Jerry Shaw by email so please make sure that he has your email address. Those who do not respond after three attempts to contact will no longer be contacted.
DATE:
TIMES:
Sunday: 10 am until 2 pm to allow people time to get home etc.
COST:
Venue: Getting There: By train: Get to Swansea then you can take a train to Llangadog station, then simply walk into town where you can find a Hotel as there are about 5 Hotels in Llangadog plus a caravan park (for the summer). By Car: You come to Llangadog Village by car from the end of the M4 take the Llandeilo Turn off at the big round-about. Into Ammanford you will turn Left at the 2nd set of lights. 5 miles along you will turn to the Right at the round about to Llangadog. Drive into the village with the post Office on your right.

What will be taught in July Class: Push Hands and more Push Hands! 1/. Bagua Linear - Fa-jing Muscle way (carries on from last time) 2/. Push Hands Applications Plus Push Hands Training. 3/. Small San-Sau Practice. 4/. Self Defence Applications 5/. Tai Chi The Way We Do It 6/. Power Training 7/. Dim-Mak's Most Practical and Deadly Strikes. Erle will begin teaching Dim-Mak applications only one or two per class. These will only cover the most practical strikes that are able to become instinctive reactions. Each point will be shown with a number of easy and natural techniques for real fighting situations where life is threatened. NB:// Due to requests, I will be doing Tai Chi Yang Lu-ch'an's form at the most advanced level that beginning students could ever hope to learn. This will be good for cohesion, getting all of our instructors (those who attend of course) all teaching correctly. This is important so that when a student for instance moves to another area or is visiting another area and wishes to train with one of our instructors, so that they can have continuity where each instructor is teaching the same movements. This will take place in the first half of each day of training. The fighting physical side will be in the 2nd half of each day. We will also be covering the Two Methods of the Advanced Bagua linear Form. See and ARTICLE. For WTBA Instructors & Senior Students
Only! (If you think that you should be invited
please let us know) NB:// There were a few sore muscles and bruises at the
first of these classes, so if you aren't prepared for that, then
think about not coming! This is real self defence and as
such, there is some pain in order to gain. Bring with you a pair of arm guards (Shin Pads will do). Click to see a video clip of the first class: MTG303 DVD title. You can also view clips from all of these classes here. From Erle:
