Who We Are

Why We Are Here

Yiheyuan School of Chinese Internal Martial Arts was founded in 1992 in response to requests from people wishing to find some peace and sanity amid the pressures and challenges of modern living.

"Yiheyuan" can be translated as: "the garden where peace is cultivated." It is named after the garden of the Summer palace in Beijing.
