In addition to being a strategist, Yú was also a martial artist who specialized in the weapon art "Jingchu Changjian" and compiled the martial arts manual, entitled "Jianjing" (“Sword Classic”).

At around 1560, Yú Dàyóu travelled to Shaolin Monastery to see its monks' fighting techniques, but found them disappointing.

Yú returned to the south with two monks, Zongqing and Pucong, whom he taught the use of the staff over the next three years, after which Zongqing and Pucong returned to Shaolin Monastery and taught their brother monks what they had learned.

Tang Hao traced the Shaolin staff style "Wǔ Hǔ Lán" (五虎攔; “Five Tigers Interception”) to Yú's teachings.
