Mandarin Chinese is the fastest-growing
language in the world. Even now, over 1/5 of the world's
population speaks Chinese, and both the number and the impact of
Chinese Language is increasing as China itself grows and rises in the
world economy. According to an article in the National Geographic
News,
"In the next decade, the new must-learn language is likely to be
Mandarin." (1) Besides being one of the most practical languages
that a person can learn in today's interconnected world, Chinese is also
a great mental training tool, as its structure, sounds, and writing
system are
so different from English as to engender a whole new way of thinking.
And don't you agree: it is much easier more
effective to learn languages on a daily basis as a young child than to
wait until college or adulthood to learn! Please take advantage of our
JING Kids After School Program and its daily Mandarin Chinese language training
for school-age children! Please call 858-578-8267 or email
info@JINGinstitute.com to
find out more and enroll your child in the JING Kids After School
Program!

Why Should Kids
do Kungfu/Wushu?
|
 |
Practice in Wushu / Kung Fu has long
been known as a way for improve spirit and health for children in China. Among
children who are already healthy, Wushu is used to help keep children
active and energetic, and to let them work through their prodigious energy in a
dedicated, productive manner. Children improve flexibility, strength,
speed, agility, and coordination with Wushu, as well as learn a complex,
circular, fully integrated style of movement that is not only a
beautiful cultural art in itself (Wushu is one of China's "Cultural
Treasures" [2][3]), but will also serve them well as they practice
other sports and movement arts. Just imagine an entire soccer
team composed of kids who can move like Jet Li!
Chinese Martial Arts can help improve the development of your child
mentally, emotionally, and physically. The JING Children’s Program is
specifically designed to cultivate emerging skills in children ages
7-12. Consistent training commonly leads to better critical thinking;
increased confidence, courage, respect, and discipline; and increased
energy, coordination, strength, and flexibility.
With our training, your
child’s commitment, and your ongoing support, your child will forge the
future with confidence and joy.
Children's Martial Arts classes are
available Monday-Saturday.
Please call us at 858.578.8267 or email
info@JINGinstitute.com to schedule your child's first class.
