He continued to teach martial arts in Taichung where his reputation as a skilled hsing yi and pa kua practitioner preceded him. As number of established martial artists in the south of Taiwan sought to "test" Wang's abilities. Challenge matches in those days could be very rough affairs where the result was sometimes death. Wang successfully met all challengers and so cemented his reputation as Taiwan's most skilled hsing yi and pa kua fighter. Wang became known within Taiwanese martial arts circles as "the unvanquished."
His teaching too remains unvanquished. The martial arts association he formed in Taichung still teaches Wang's martial arts as he had. The association is now headed by Wang Fu-lai, who began studying under Wang at the age of 15.
After several years, Wang Fu-lai became the elder Wang's only personal student, meaning that he was permitted to live in Wang's house and be by Wang's side at all times. Today, the Cheng Ming Martial Arts Association is active not only in Taiwan, but in Argentina, Israel, the US, Japan and Australia.
This worldwide spread of the arts is evidence that Wang Shu-chin fulfilled his mission of preserving and spreading the martial arts that he had been entrusted with by his masters.
