Wang Maozhai (Chinese: 王茂齋; pinyin: Wáng Màozhāi; 1862–1940) was one of Wu Quanyou's three primary disciples of Wu-style tai chi. When Wu Quanyou's son Wu Jianquan moved from Beijing to Shanghai in 1928, Wang Maozhai remained behind to lead the Wu-style Beijing group. He was the founder of the Beijing Tai Miao tai chi Research Centre. In 1929, the first documentary book on Wu-style tai chi "The record of Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan" was published by Wang Maozhai with Wu Jianquan and Guo Fen.[1] His primary disciple was Yang Yuting.[1]
