WTBA Taiji Combat Camp 2026!

What a great week of training it was. With people travelling in from all over Europe and even Canada. We trained in Taiji Boxing, grappling and ground fighting. No major injuries accrued 🙂 Most people who train Taiji do not know how to fight, since they don’t train fighting. Often they think doing drills and push hands is fighting, but put them in this week of training and they will soon realise the difference between drilling and fighting!

Thanks to all those who attended and a special thanks to my wife Fran for cooking all week for the 9 guests we had staying.

Next workshop 26th - 27th September.

Always remember your large frame Taiji postures, don’t lose your strength in favour of softness.

A great deal of respect should be had for MMA fighters, they get in the ring and prove what they know works. However, it’s also important to note that many techniques are made redundant when you remove the rules. Erle Montaigue was famous for not following the crowd and always breaking the rules.

🚨 Only 4 places left for our Malta Camp at the end of October! 🇲🇹☀️

Don't miss out! Come and join us for an amazing few days of training, fun, and great company.
