Our Story

In a bustling city like Coquitlam, BC, it may seem surprising that my path to opening Yuen's Family Martial Arts came from humble beginnings. Growing up, Tai Chi was the centerpiece of family life—my grandfather, a master practitioner, started each day practicing under the morning sun. His dedication instilled in me the understanding that Tai Chi is not merely a martial art; it is a profound philosophy that nurtures the soul. After moving to Canada, I felt a strong desire to share this treasure with my new community. I envisioned a space where people could escape the hustle of everyday life, reflect, and cultivate balance. Over the years, the school has evolved into a cherished community hub, embodying the warmth and spirit of family. The stories shared within our walls echo a shared commitment to growth, both physically and spiritually. Every student’s journey enriches ours, and we celebrate milestones—be it mastering a new form or simply feeling more connected to oneself. My vision was not only to create researchers of Tai Chi but to foster a family where everyone feels a sense of belonging, which continues to be my driving force. I am genuinely excited to welcome both beginners and experienced practitioners to join us, embark on this journey with us, and discover the transformative power of Tai Chi.
