Taken from the website, "When the Turners came to the US they brought their ideas. Turnen, the German word for Gymnastics, was a part of them. Founded in 1811 in Berlin, Germany, at the ‘Hasenheide’ by ‘Turnvater’ Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, the Turner movement promoted physical and mental fitness, and spread all over Germany. The Turners brought Gymnastics from Germany with them across the Atlantic. In addition they formulated their goals. Here are the Turner Principles from 1871, that we still adhere to today"
