Being an exceptional talent and having a wide knowledge and deep understanding of Taijiquan with more than fifty years of continuous daily practice (even during the more difficult times in China), he has achieved an amazing Taiji technique and powerful internal energy.

As a young man Grand Master Dan Yu Kui was taught by three different Masters. Through his dedication and hard work he became the best of his generation. In accordance with tradition, a book containing Taiji theory is passed down to the most talented member of each successive generation to study and to record subsequent research into Taiji. Master Dan was chosen to receive the book.
