About Us

John S. Wang, disciple of the grand master Chang, Dong Sheng (the Chinese wrestling king), has over fifty years of martial arts experience and has won competitions in the United States and China, including three times United States heavy weight championships in Shuai Chiao (1982, 1983, 1984).
​

Mr. Wang has taken the first US Shuai-Chiao teams to compete in Taiwan (1984) and China (1985). He has been teaching in Austin since 1972 and serves on the board of directors for the American Combat Shuai Chiao Association.  He continues to teach Shuai Chiao at all levels from beginners to professional fighters.

​

​My name is Zack Krasuk Castaño and have practiced Chinese Martial Arts for over a decade.  I studied Chang Tung Sheng style Tai Chi under Shifu Paul Hwang from 1999 to 2005 and am a certified Tai Chi instructor. I've been a student of Grand Master John Wang since late 2016 and am a certified Long Fist Kung Fu instructor.  Currently I teach Combat Shuai Chiao as well as Long Fist in Austin, TX.

At 42, I continue to spar and compete against people who are much younger than me: Continuous Sparring (Silver, 2019), Shuai Chiao (Gold Medal, 2005), Chi Sau (Silver Medal, 2004), Moving Push Hands (Silver Medal, 2004; Bronze Medal, 2003).  

I am fluent in Spanish, German and English and have a Masters in Chemistry, an MBA and a teacher's certification in High School Math and High School Chemistry.
