Wang Ming Bo
Youth
In his youth Master Wang Ming Bo practiced Chinese wrestling and boxing and was also a keen sports fan; he began training in Taiji Quan in 1993, following a workplace industrial accident, when both his ankles were broken and he was left bedridden; the prognosis being that he would probably not walk again.
However, ever determined, around a year after his accident, he began to hobble on crutches to his local park, to get some fresh air, plus just get out of the house.
There he met Wu Style Taiji Master Wang Hao Da, who was in his late 60’s at that time, watching him perform Wu Style Taiji form. Keen to improve his health and get back to full fitness, Wang Ming Bo, became Wang Hao Da’s student, first learning some basic foundation exercises and qigong, then later the Taiji form; once he had properly recovered his mobility, he went on to study push hands and sparring.
Chen Style & Yang Style Taiji
Over the years, Wang Ming Bo has also studied Chen Style, and began learning Yang Style Taiji in 1995. Since the passing of Master Wang Hao Da in 2002, Master Wang Ming Bo has focused exclusively on Yang Style Taiji with Grandmaster Dong Bin, beginning his studies with him in 2003, until Master Dong’s passing in 2009.
Generous & Patient
Master Wang is a generous and patient coach, with lots of teaching experience of both western and Chinese students. He has been chief instructor for Double Dragon Alliance since 2005, alongside Master Rose Oliver, at their Shanghai classes, martial arts training camps, held annually in Shanghai, as well as in the UK, USA, Canada and Europe for DDA’s annual Taiji training sabbaticals, where students have thoroughly enjoyed his enthusiastic, friendly and interactive approach; making sure that every student has a clear idea of what each of the Taiji movements, applications or exercises really mean and letting them “feel” for themselves what they are doing within the form or in the exercises.
His warm and friendly nature, plus his extensive knowledge of Taiji, Tuina, Chinese Medicine and other related arts, in addition to his experience, make him a talented and very generous teacher, ensuring that everyone can obtain the most from their practice and gain a deeper understanding of Taiji and other related Chinese arts and philosophies.
He was also featured in an article by Rose in the international publication: Tai Chi Magazine.
