Our Programs

We have a variety of programs to meet your needs. Whether you are 3 or 103, in excellent physical condition or just starting an exercise program, we have a program for you. We invite you to come observe any of our classes at any time. Better yet, try an introductory class with no charge or obligation. We find that you will gain a better understanding of our programs by trying a free class rather than just observing. Just call or e-mail to schedule your free introductory class.

It can take time to properly evaluate a program and if you are a beginner, it can be difficult to know the difference between a good program and a bad one. It may take a month or two before you can decide if a program is right for you and your family. That is why we don't require long term contracts. You can choose from a variety of membership options so that you have little risk if you decide our program is not what you are looking for. No matter what the length of the membership you select, the first month is always probationary so you can cancel during that first month without penalty. We're sure that you will appreciate how unique we are and discover why we still have students who have been with us since we opened in 2000! We also offer family discounts so the whole family can participate!

Go to our Setting Up Your Membership page for information on how to enroll in our programs. You can set up your membership with a phone app or through the web. When asked for the Studio Code, use JingYing. Once your account is set up, you will have access to all member options, special events, managing your payment methods, and more.

When registering for any of our programs, don't enter any discount codes for the first person. For Sign-Up Fee, use discount codes Reg2 for the second family member and Reg3 for the third and each additional family member. For Membership Cost use Fam2 for the second person, Fam3 for the third person, and Fam4 for each additional member.

To see the cost for any program, just select the program and options from below (you don't need to complete a registration) and the prices will be shown for your selection. Our regular programs offer the following levels:

Bronze – This level is for students who attend classes an average of once a week. Frankly, this is not often enough to see real benefits and progress and is really intended for students to use as a king of extended trial to better understand our program or for the time constrained individuals who will train on their own in addition to the time spent in class.

Silver – This level is for students who want access to classes an average of twice a week and is the minimum recommended level. Any physical activity should be done at least twice a week to maintain the training effect that leads to physical improvement. Also, learning skills and remembering lesssons are enhanced by practicing more than once a week.

Gold – This level is for serious students who want access to unlimited classes per week. A higher frequency of training will provide faster results for physical improvements and more rapid retention of information. This level is required for Advanced students and those who are pursuing weapons training.

Ultimate Jade – This level is for the person who wants it all! It includes unlimited classes in both the kung fu and tai chi programs and weapons training. Black Sash students in the kung fu program are automatically upgraded to this level as tai chi becomes a required part of their curriculum for advancement.

 PreSchool Pandas

Pre-school PandasChildren from 2 to 5 can exercise, play games and learn elementary tumbling. This is not a martial arts program but is a good preparation for kids considering our kung fu programs. This also makes a great "Mommy or Daddy and Me" program and a parent can join in with their children at no extra charge! (one parent per child). We include many of the same warm-ups used in our kung fu classes along with other activities that build coordination, strength, flexibility and fitness. Instructor Billy Greer has taught for schools, senior centers, and departments of parks and recreation for over 30 years. He has had a full background check and fingerprinting. Classes run on sessions. To check on the current session schedule and to register, go to Preschool Pandas

 

Kung Fu Kids
(Tigers and Dragons)

Kung Fu KidsOur Kung Fu Kids program is for children from approximately ages 4 to 11. Our curriculum is focused on improving children's attention and focus, improving flexibility, strength and coordination, and building confidence and self control while learning kung fu and having fun! The Kung Fu Kids classes are taught "family style" meaning they are open to adult family members to train with their children if they like. Go to Curriculum to view a description for each of our levels. We do not teach the self-defense techniques involving qinna (joint locking) in the kids program.

 

Kung Fu

Adult Kung FuWe teach the Northern Shaolin Kung Fu of Tian Shan Pai (天山派). This graceful, artistic, yet explosive style is a complete system that will provide you with effective self-defense techniques while improving your overall coordination, strength and flexibility. It promotes courage and determination without aggression and gives a practical knowledge of self-defense skills.  We offer separate classes for beginner, intermediate and advanced level students. This allows the instructor to focus on skills appropriate for the class so students get more attention and spend more time on skills appropriate for their level. Go to Curriculum to view a description for each of our levels.

 

Family Kung Fu

We recognize that it can be inconvenient to bring in your children for the kids' program, then take them home and return later for your own class. Our family program allows you and your children to take classes together! Kung Fu is a great activity for families to share and this program can give you more flexibility to help it fit your schedule. With our Kids Kung Fu classes, parents are welcome to take the class with their kids. Alternately, with an instructors approval, children 10 and older can join the regular adult classes with a parent as long as the class is at their level or below.

 

Tai Chi - Qigong

Tai ChiTai Chi, an internal style of martial arts, teaches mental focus, while emphasizing coordination, balance, relaxation, and proper breathing. When practiced properly, Tai Chi can be an effective form of self-defense. At all levels, Tai Chi is said to regulate the central nervous system and helps prevent stress, high blood pressure, and heart problems. You may also see this written as Taijiquan or T'ai Chi Ch'uan, but they are spelling variations of the same thing.

Beginners start with silk reeling exercises and learn the 18 step Essence Form in our TaiJi/QiGong for Health and Wellness program. If desired, they can then move to the Traditional Chen Style classes to learn a variety of other forms including weapons. New students can start at any time. For more information, go to Tai Chi - Qigong

 

Shaolin Fitness for Women

This is not your standard kickboxing/aerobics class. You'll improve speed, balance, flexibility and aerobic capacity while burning fat and building core strength through the use of Shaolin training techniques. Ideal for those who have never been athletic and those looking to get back into shape. This is a non-rhythmic class so you won't have to learn moves choreographed to music and you won't have to learn forms or sparring. Instead, you'll get a program that gives you the benefits of Pilates, yoga, aerobics and martial arts training all rolled into one fitness program with lots of exercises you can do anywhere and without special equipment! Level 1 is for beginners of all fitness levels. $40 per month if this is your only class at Jing Ying. $20 per month if a family member participates in any of our monthly programs. $10 per month if you are in our Tai Chi program. Free if you are in our Kung Fu program!

 

Qigong

Please note that tai chi is a type of qigong and all our tai chi classes include medical qigong exercises to train the body and promote health. On a periodic basis, we do offer classes on specific QiGong sets. This program is offered in eight week sessions of one hour classes that focus on the Ba Duan Jin (Eight Pieces of Brocade) or the Yi Jing Jing (Muscle/Tendon Change). The movements are easy to learn and are suitable for all ages and levels of fitness. They can even be performed seated. Although a simple set, regular practice will provide noticeable health benefits in just a few months. We have instructional material available in book and DVD format to supplement your classroom practice. Offered periodically during the year. Go to Qigong to register.

 

Homeschool Kung Fu

We offer the benefits of our well structured and progressive program in a special class for homeschoolers. We will improve your strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, and endurance while teaching effective self-defense techniques in a non-aggressive environment. Kung Fu is really about learning to use your body properly. The skills you acquire will help with any physical activity you engage in. For homeschoolers, we can provide a certificate of participation that can be used as documentation for your PE requirement. Fun for parents and children from 5 to adult! Instructor Billy Greer is a long-time homeschooling dad. Go to Homeschool Kung Fu for more info.

 

Birthday Parties

Your child can have a Kung Fu Birthday party at the Jing Ying Institute! We will provide you with invitations, set up tables, provide 90 minutes of studio time and clean up afterwards. Your child will receive an honorary Birthday Blackbelt certificate, and we will provide an introductory kung fu class for all participants. In addition, there will be lots of fun games and activities followed by time for refreshments and cake. You provide the cake and refreshments, we'll provide the fun! Go to Birthday Parties for more information.

Summer Camps

Beginners with no experience in kung fu or martial arts will learn basic techniques and forms, while students with previous experience will have the opportunity to advance their skills. Tumbling will include basic balance skills such as headstands and handstands as well as working on rolls, cartwheels, headsprings, handsprings and flips. Half-day and full-day options available. Go to Summer Camp to register.

 

Private Lessons

Our instructors are also available for private lessons. You choose the subject matter so you can focus on the areas important to you. Some people want extra work to help them improve skills from our regular curriculum. Some people want  to improve their tumbling, fighting, chin-na (qinna), tai chi (taiji) or weapons skills. Other people just prefer the one-on-one attention that a private lesson provides or the opportunity to pick the day of the week and time of the day that best fits their schedule. See our options at Private Lessons
