A quick history of Yin Style Bagua is as follows (for a more complete
version, please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_Style_Baguazhang)
Yin Style was founded by Dong Haichuan during the 1800s. This was
around the time Dong entered the service of Imperial Prince Su Wen
as martial arts instructor. Yin Fu challenged Dong, lost and became
Dong’s student and the two traveled in what is now Inner Mongolia
collecting taxes for imperial court for twenty years. Yin Fu later
became the personal bodyguard of Emperor Guang Xu and Empress Dowager,
the highest prestige position of its kind in the entire country.
Royal merchants along with the imperial court depended on Yin Fu’s
Bodyguard Company for protection. Yin Fu taught the complete baguazhang
system to Men Baozhen who taught Xie Peiqi, who taught He Jinbao
the current grand lineage carrier.
