Jing Ying September events - Mark Your Calendar!

Just a reminder that since we were closed for Labor Day on Monday, the pre-test will be Tuesday at 7:00 pm (kids can pre-test at 5:00 pm as well).

Some of you may not be aware that we added a new kids class over the summer. On Tuesdays at 5:30 pm, we have an All Levels kid's class open to both Tigers and Dragons. We have some students who attend Folger McKinsey and will be bused to Chesapeake Bay Middle School in Pasadena while renovations are being made. Those student will now get home at almost 5:00 pm instead of 3:30 pm as in the past, so the new class will make it easier for them to continue training. This is also a Family Class that parents can participate in with their children. In the past, our Family program allowed a parent to take their children into our regular classes so they could train together.
 

Those were classes oriented toward adults that we allowed kids to participate in as long as they were with their parent. The new class is oriented towards kids and we allow parents to participate as long as they are with their child. This class is being expanded to include Thursdays from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm starting this week. Please note that with the addition of these two new classes, we are making a modification to our Family Kung Fu program. To join a regular adult class with their parent, children must be 9 or older and approved for participation by an instructor.

On Thursday, Sept 9, we will celebrate the new class with a "Bring a Buddy" day. All existing students (including adults) are invited to bring a friend to try out a free introductory kung fu class for kids 4 to 10 and their parents. If you bring a friend to try the class, you and your friend will get Kung Fu Panda headbands, and have a chance to win a Kung Fu Panda backsack filled with goodies. Your friend is also eligible to receive a 2-week visitors pass to continue classes. You must contact us right away to register your friends for this special event!
