Master Wang has been studying martial arts since the age of 9. In 1962 he joined the world famous martial arts team in Beijing, where he won several gold medals. He was later promoted to team leader and began training Tai-Chi competitors. After only six months of training, one of his students won the Beijing Female Tai-Chi Weapons championship. In 1979, when China was just opening its gates to the world, he began teaching Westerners in Beijing. He later emigrated to the U.S. where he has lived and taught ever since. He has judged several international level competitions, and has been featured in many TV, News, and magazine articles.

Master Yu Wang continuously studied with world-renowned internal martial artists and pugilist Grandmaster Jiang Yu-Kun for 10 years. Jiang was the consecutive winner of several Chinese national wrestling championships in the 1940's. Jiang graduated from the Nan-King Guoshu Institute as a distinguished student, and was the favorite student of Yang Chegfu (the Dean of the Academy). Yang Chengfu was the 3rd generation successor of the Yang Family. He taught the original Big Frame Yang Style Tai Chi system to Jiang from a martial arts approach. Jiang learned the Small Frame Yang Style from Gong Rongtian, who was a disciple of Yang Ban-Shou (the 2nd generation successor of the Yang Family). Jiang also learned Chen Style Tai Chi from Master Chen Ziming, the 17th generation successor of the Chen Family).

Through over 40 years of hard work and humble study, Daniel Yu Wang completed the entire Tai Chi system, including Tai Chi sparring techniques and Tai Chi Weapons (Straightsword, Broadsword, Spear, and Staff). Master Yu Wang is one of the few, if not the only person, to have mastered all five classical styles of Tai Chi Quan, as well as Tai Chi Sanshou.
