Wu-style was created by a Manchurian named Wu Ch"uan-yu (1834–1902).
Wu Ch"uan-yu’s son, Wu Chien-ch"uan (1870-1942), loved martial arts from his youth and studied under the tutorship of his father. After 1912 he continuously developed the teaching t"ai chi ch"uan at the Beijing Sport Research Society, gradually refining his father’s style.
Wu Chien-ch"uan’s eldest daughter, Ma Jiangbao"s mother Wu Yinghua (1907–1996), started studying t"ai chi ch"uan with her father at a very young age. In 1935 Wu Yinghua was also appointed deputy director of the Chien-ch"uan Association in Shanghai.
In martial arts circles she was regarded as one of the most renowned teachers.
Ma Hailong, the eldest son of Wu Ying-hua and Ma Yueh-liang, also studied t"ai chi ch"uan from a young age and is now the president of the Chien-ch"uan Association Shanghai.
