About The W.T.B.A.
The WTBA is an
organisation of like minds from all over the world coming together
in friendship and harmony (well most times).
Erle Montaigue began the Australian Taiji Boxing Association back in
1979. It soon became clear that the organisation had outgrown the
'Australian' part so we changed it to the World Taiji Boxing
Association.
Erle Montaigue has now handed it down to his son Eli, having trained with Erle from the age
of 4. We and we have a number of Country Representatives around the
world. These are students and friends who have trained with Erle and
Eli for many years and have risen to a high level of competence in Erle's system of Internal Gung-fu.
We now
have representatives in around 30 countries with well over 10,000
students being in some way associated with the WTBA as 'WTBA
members'.
There is no real hierarchy in the WTBA as this is how Erle Montaigue
likes it, plain and simple without titles or bowing down to anyone,
just a bunch of friends training together with a like goal of
harmony and good health, and along the way some self defence to
protect our family.
The WTBA has no uniforms or any other patches or other lofty names
like 'Sensei' or Master or Loucher etc. We are simply here to help
each other up the ladder.
However, we do have some items of WTBA clothing in the way of T
shirts and Jumpers with the WTBA logo embroidered or screened.
You can join the WTBA as a Member, just fill our the form.
To become
a WTBA instructor however, takes a little more training and
assessment
