Lóngháquán [Long Har Ch'uan] Workshop Milano October 12/13 2024
Please scroll down for full details containing IMPORTANT INFORMATION
In October 2024, Nasser Butt will be returning with The Erle Montaigue System to Italy. This time we will be in the heart of one of greatest cities and fashion capitals of the world - Milano.
Lóngháquán, also sometimes referred to as 'Dragon Prawn Boxing' or 'Lobster Boxing', is a critical component of training in The Old Yang Style and The Erle Montaigue System.
Lóngháquán teaches us the Principles of Taiji consisting of 5 training methods, based upon:
The Folding Principle
Seize the Sparrow by the Tail [Old Yang Style]
Cross Hands, Apparent Close Up’ or ‘Ten Character Hands'
Lu with the Old Yang posture known as Willow Tree Sways In The Breeze [Advance, Parry, Pe*******on Hammer Right/Left]
Advance, Parry, Grasp, Hammer [Step Forward Parry and Punch]
This is the first time that all 5 methods will be taught together.
Lóngháquán is often misunderstood and trained incorrectly. Lóngháquán is a training method!
Lóngháquán is not a technique or a series of techniques, nor should it be taught as a technique!
Lóngháquán is not a self-defence or fighting method [although concepts will emerge from within it]!
Lóngháquán must not be changed — The method changes you, you don’t change it! It is an important training method and must remain a training method!
Lóngháquán teaches us the correct body mechanics for both combat and healing upon a reflexive [innate] level.
Lóngháquán trains the mind in developing a ‘no mind state’ — the mind of a child — returning us back to our innate nature!
Lóngháquán personifies the principle — the centre moves the peripherals.
This is a rare opportunity to learn this training method and its concepts correctly! Erle, himself, lamented:
"I have people who have been studying with me for a long time and they still haven’t grasped the correct way to do Long Har Ch’uan!"
