Yang Yuting (Chinese: 杨禹廷; pinyin: Yáng Yǔtíng; Wade–Giles: Yang Yü-t'ing; 1887–1982) was a teacher of Wu-style tai chi. He was Wang Maozhai's primary disciple and studied with him from 1916 to 1940.
Biography
He began training in martial arts from the age of nine. He had a number of masters and learned Tan Tui, changquan, xingyiquan, baguazhang and Wu-style tai chi.[1]
He reformed his Wu-style training to make it more systematic and standardised the Wu-style tai chi he had learned from Wang Maozhai. After Wang's death Yang became the leader of the Wu-style Beijing group.[1] He was a respected teacher in Beijing for 75 years and at the time of his death vice-chairman of Beijing Martial Arts Association (北京市武术运动协会副主席), a highly prestigious position within Beijing martial art community.[2] Wang Peisheng, Li Jingwu and Li Bingci were all his students.[1]

- Although many styles were passed down to respective descendants of the same family, the lineage focused on is that of the Wu style & not necessarily that of the family.
