Master Wang Ming Bo?
Master Wang practiced Chinese wrestling and boxing, but began training in Taiji Quan in 1993, following?
an industrial accident, when both his ankles were broken and he was left bedridden; the prognosis being?
that he would probably not walk again. However, he began to walk on crutches to his local park, and met?
Wu Style Taiji Master Wang Hao Da, who was in his late 60’s, and became his student. Over the years, he?
has also studied Chen Style and Yang Style Taiji with Master Tao Cheng Qiang. Since the passing of his?
teacher, in 2002, Master Wang has focused exclusively on Yang Style Taiji wit h Grandmaster Dong Bin and his disciple Master?
Ren Gang. Master Wang is a generous and patient teacher, with a warm and friendly nature, plus an extensive knowledge of Taiji,?
Tuina, Chinese Medicine and other related arts. ?
