By Dan Inosanto

It gives me great pleasure to write the foreword for Erle Montaigue’s
book “HOW TO USE T’AI CHI (as a fighting art)”. This book should
be of great interest to both t’ai chi practitioners and non-T’ai chi practitioners
alike. A book on T’ai Chi as a “fighting art” is long overdue.
There are many people who still recognize and consider T’ai Chi as
only a health exercise. I feel that this book will be very informative to
the martial arts community and a must for everyone’s martial arts library.
