Grandmaster Wang Hao Da Master Wang is considered to have been one of the most energetic and gifted push hands artists in the world. He studied many years as an indoor student of Wu Style Grandmaster Ma Yueh Liang in Shanghai, China. He was willing to share a wealth of neigong and neijing practices. He developed the highest level of sophistication of spiral neijing energy, zhong ding jing, and spine biomechanics in his form. It was a rare treat and opportunity to see this level of Taiji magic.

Dear Susan Matthews
Thank you for the information about Master Wang
Hao Da.
It is a sad news, I met him in June 2001 summer camp (San Diego Cal.)
with master George. By that time he had some problems with his lungs, I
noticed it, but he worked the 10 days camp all the way through.
Really he impressed me very much, since that was the first time I saw the
real qi working. I played with him push hands and he issued qi, and he
would find my qi with great facility.
One thing that impressed me, one day he sent off to the ground a
student standing at 4 meters away from him by just looking at him, he
absorbed his qi from a distance.
I must say that he changed my perception about taiji 180 degrees, since I
had studied only taiji theory and by then the concept of qi was very
difficult for me to understand.
I flew from Venezuela South America just to be with Master Wang Hao Da and
Master George Xu in California 2001 Summer Camp. He had a weird way
of doing taiji, it was difficult for me to do the movements at that time,
since his style was new to me, I was accustumed to play Yang taiji.
He threw me off to the ground every time he wanted to and then he would
laugh out loud, I thought to my self: "he goes everywhere in the
world throwing people away, laughing and making money with it,
next time I am born perhaps I will have that job".
The experience with masters Wang Hao Da and George Xu was most excellent,
I love both masters very much since they conformed an inseparable team
Wang Hao Da and George Xu.
His taiji went as far as the Amazone Jungle where we live, we still share
with our taiji friends the practice Wang Hao Da
teachings, his videos and personal experience.
The day we finished the 2001 taiji summer camp, I went to his cabin to
say good-bye, we did a little more push hands for the last time, then he
laugh out loud and I said to him "Master Wang you a rare taiji
jewel".
