From Ari Kandel's Blog:
Lately I've recalled the following story from the late Erle Montaigue to
students, in reference to allowing the Guided Chaos principles to
permeate their whole lives. Guided Chaos is not something you "do" or
"turn on" when needed for self-defense or training. As Miyamoto Musashi
wrote in Go Rin No Sho (The Book of Five Rings), "Let your martial
bearing be your everyday bearing, and your everyday bearing be your
martial bearing."
Chang Yiu-chun, The Last Interview
By Erle Montaigue
In
my final term with Chang I became adept at phrasing questions so that I
would not end up in great pain and I would ask questions that I needed
to know the answers to as I guess I sensed that he would not be around
for much longer.
I told him that the way that he did his Taiji
form was still greatly different to what I was doing, even though I
thought that I was doing it at the highest level.
His answer was like a hammer to my head and something that I still remember with vivid detail.
"You are doing Taiji, I am not".
I was a little worried about this statement.
Before I could question him further he answered me.
"Go around to all of the Taiji classes. And then come back to me. If you still wish to do Taiji, then go and learn from them."
By this stage, I was more than a little confused but Chang would not be budged on this, no more questions.
I
did what he wanted me to, even though I knew what the others were
teaching and something fell on me. Even though they were doing different
styles, Chen, Yang, Wu etc. They were all still "doing" Taiji. It
seemed like an effort, like it was something different that they had to
do each day. Whereas when Chang did it, it was as if he was not doing
anything, he would talk to me while he was doing his form, he would look
around, take in the local scenery, but he was always so still and at
peace with everything. He would never actually finish the form, but
rather just move into another area of form, like walking to his place of
residence, or having a cup of tea.
My next visit to Chang, was
different. I told him that he was not doing Taiji but rather living
Taiji. He answered again in the negative. "No, you are still wrong, I am
not living anything, I am Taiji". He went on, "You are trying to do
Taiji, so you will never realise the fighting of Taiji nor the healing
of Taiji. You are much stronger than me, and faster, but I seem faster
and stronger than you. I am not. I am Taiji."
From then onward, I
tried to be Taiji with every waking and sleeping moment being as if I
were still doing the form. That was his greatest gift to me. To show me
to not do Taiji.
-----------------------------------------------------
Now
here's the critical difference: in tai chi and virtually every other
art you start with forms and patterned movements and perfect them until
they seem formless. The problem
is that you have still spent your entire career training patterns. So
your path to "emptiness" is nothing but roadblocks and handicaps which
are, more often than not, never surmounted. When you train formlessness and emptiness
from the very start, you cannot help but reach your goals faster. It
just makes sense. So where does the "Guided" come in? You can be "all
chaos" and your defense will be a big, weak, sloppy, inefficient and
ineffective mess. But when you are "guided" by the laws of physics and
human anatomy, your chaotic motion becomes efficient, powerful,
balanced, unitized, loose and sensitive. When you train Guided Chaos,
you gradually infuse into your entire being and nervous system the
ability to not only adapt to chaos, but to BECOME CHAOS, such that you not only think and react outside the box but get rid of the box entirely; so that if you are heinously attacked you may rain down holy hell upon the enemy.

| Can I learn how to fight for my life in 1 weekend?
Guided Chaos is the fastest way to learn how to fight for your life for 2 reasons:
1. It gives you simple tools [Guided Chaos Combatives] you can put to use immediately if heaven forbid you had to defend your life the minute you walked out the door. Nasty, ugly, brutal gutter fighting--just what you need against a thug, sociopath or rapist. While it can take as long as 6 weeks of hard practice to perfect the "simpler tools" of Guided Chaos Combatives, you only need 1 weekend to learn easy stuff that can save your life if you're attacked right now.
2. Guided Chaos provides you with a training methodology that can take you to the highest levels of mastery in the shortest period of time, without digression, formality or esoteric nonsense. While #2 can't be accomplished in a weekend, you can knocks years or decades off your goal to maximize whatever physical attributes you already have.
Guided Chaos uses Physics and Anatomy. Period. But its physics and nervous system training has been hailed by leading movement scientists as beyond anything they've ever experienced. In fact, one of them called John Perkins "The Einstein of Non-linear Learning."

TWO COMBOS:
|
| COMBO 1: Your 1-2 Knockout Punch...
|
|
THE ATTACKPROOF COMPANION,
PART ONE
In PART ONE you will learn simple, effective techniques created
for U.S. soldiers in World War II and used in thousands of documented
police and military conflicts, modified by John Perkins and enhanced by
Guided Chaos dynamic motion principles.
PART ONE COVERS IN DEPTH:
- Awareness and avoidance
- Warrior mentality
- Simple striking tools and Close Combat methodology.
- Everything you ever wanted to know about developing Dropping Energy to enhance your hitting power.
- Dramatically
increase hitting speed, power, balance and footwork skills that you can
practice on your own–and put to use immediately.
- Master the above in 6 weeks
(with diligent training).
This material is absolutely essential as it provides all the basic weaponry you'll need to understand the more advanced principles of Guided Chaos in parts TWO and THREE.
|
| "Your system of using the Dropping Energy on striking has tripled the power of my strikes..."
"I
have followed the instructions on your dvds [Guided Chaos Combatives
& Attackproof Companion Part 1], what a difference, it is hard to
believe even as I am doing it how well your system works."
--Roderick, Los Angeles
|
| GUIDED CHAOS COMBATIVES
Shot on Day 3 of the 2014 Boot Camp, the GUIDED CHAOS COMBATIVES DVD is the perfect complement to the Attackproof Companion Part 1 DVD but with UPDATED and far more focused material. It also is the essential training guide for
those seeking GCC Course Completion or GCC Instructor Certification.
Additionally, all the methodologies on the GCC DVDs are prerequisites for GC 1st degree. Although there is some overlap between Part 1 and the GCC
DVD, they each have critical training not found in the other.
|
| "WOW." I just watched like 4 minutes of the new GCC video. WOW. I've been using and training GCC since 2000 and GC since 2003. You guys know my story:) I'm actually speechless. It's that good and has evolved that much! Just the little course correction, I watched on the GCC chop (saying "hi") is a gold mine and could be a life saver when fractions of a second count. I'm very honored to be considered part of the GC family. I'm so impressed that you never stop refining and finding ways to make this art teachable to all kinds of people. Love you guys." --Bob

ALL THE BASIC GUIDED CHAOS PRINCIPLES...
AND THEIR DRILLS
THE ATTACKPROOF COMPANION PART 2
"Next to a real, 'living' instructor your DVD series is probably the best training that any person can hope for...better than many of the instructors you get out there, because of the nonsense that so many of them teach...the 'Attackproof Companion Series' stands unparalleled in the annals of self-defence and security training." --Charl (Morpheus) Viljoen, Regional Director, The Guardian Angels, Capetown, South Africa-- "The Most Violent City In the World"

ALL THE BASIC GUIDED CHAOS DRILLS
--THE WORKOUT
COMBAT CONDITIONING
The
best solo training DVD. All the Guided Chaos drills (well, 90% of them)
back-to-back and set to Native American music (like we do in class)
with just a short application demo at the end of each drill so you can
keep your workout going. |
| | | WHICH DVD OR DOWNLOAD SHOULD I GET?
|
|
NOTE: Because of how they are edited, Guided Chaos DVDs and On Demand Downloads have more vital info packed into them than virtually any other self defense DVDs available.
