Class Schedule
Please arrive ten minutes before your scheduled class. This page has our standard class schedule. If you are looking for our calendar schedule of class cancellations, changes, seminars and other special activities, see our events page. If you want to see descriptions of the different programs listed, go to our Programs page.
Visitors are welcome to observe any class at any time. You don't need to contact us in advance and can just stop by, but you may want to check to ensure there haven't been any schedule changes. Also, we highly recommending trying a class rather than just watching.
We offer a free introductory class for new students and we find that you will get a better understanding of our program if you participate in a class rather than just watch. To take advantage of our free trial, please call in advance so we can schedule your lesson. We have a variety of programs available for children and adults. We don't have initiation fees, and we do not limit the number of classes you can attend for your level or below! You can train up to 6 days a week and take more than 1 class a day without additional cost! You can also use the training space and equipment to practice without an instructor during open gym or classes that are above your level.
Private lessons can be scheduled with any of the instructors and are available at times mutually convenient for the instructor and student.

Please note that TaijiQuan is the pinyin spelling for what is often seen as Tai Ji Quan, Tai Chi Chuan, T'ai Chi Ch'uan, or commonly shortened to just Tai Chi in the US. The pinyin system is the official system adopted by China and the UN for transliterating Chinese characters into the English alphabet. Because other methods of spelling were in use earlier, we see many examples of varied spelling such as Peking is now Beijing, Kung Fu is now Gongfu, or Ch'i Kung is now Qigong.
The All Levels intensive classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays are open to students of all levels and are highly recommended for advanced students, especially as a substitute for missed Monday or Wednesday advanced classes. These classes are not open for family training.
*Help us begin classes on time. Please arrive ten minutes
before your scheduled class to change, review and work out.
* Please note that you are encouraged to train in a lower
belt level class at any time.
Pre-testing is usually on the first Monday of each month at
6:30 pm with a make-up pre-test at 7:00 pm on Tuesday of the
following week. When the 1st of the month is a Tuesday, the
order will be reversed.
Testing is usually held on the last Saturday of each month at 11:00 am.
Inclement Weather Policy
Please note that we do not necessarily follow the county public
school closing policy. The conditions during the early morning
that lead the public schools to decide to close or stay open may
be very different by the afternoon when most of our classes
start. A better guideline is Anne Arundel Community College. If
they cancel evening classes, Jing Ying will generally cancel
classes as well. We will always decide on closings at least an
hour before the start of a class. You can sign up to get
automated text message announcements from Anne Arundel Community
College by going to
www.aacc.edu/stayinformed
or get announcements directly from Jing Ying by following us on Twitter
Check the weather reports. Here are our normal procedure for
various weather conditions:
Winter Storm Warning or Winter Snow Emergency - if
in effect during the time of our regularly scheduled classes, we
will cancel those classes. When the National Weather Service
issues a winter storm warning or snow emergency, they recommend
that you stay indoors and not travel. If you must travel, they
suggest that you use public transportation as 70% of winter
deaths related to snow and ice occur in automobiles.
Winter Weather Advisory - snow, freezing rain or sleet
may present a hazard, but it is not considered significant
enough to issue a warning. Conditions should be safe if
reasonable precautions are observed. Classes will usually be at
regular times but may be cancelled depending on conditions near
Jing Ying.
Winter Storm Watch - Potential for heavy snow or ice in
24 to 36 hours. This means you should start checking weather
reports regularly as a storm is predicted for the next day, but
conditions may change. We will follow our regular schedule.
When there is little uncertainty about the upcoming weather
conditions during our class schedule, we may be able to make a
decision early and let you know the previous day. Unfortunately,
there often may be constantly changing predictions about snow or
icy conditions and when the weather will occur. When that is the
case, we will wait as late as possible to make a decision.
However, if classes will be cancelled for the day because of the
weather, we will always decide at least by 3:00 pm and we will
change the outgoing message on our answering machine to announce
the closing. If we only cancel some classes, the announcement
will be changed at least an hour before the start of those
classes. In addition, we will post closings to our
e-mail
list, Twitter,
or Facebook.
Bottom line, if conditions in your neighborhood don’t seem safe
- stay home. If your neighborhood is fine, but you are unsure
about other areas, call us at 410-431-5200 and you should be
able to find out about any class cancellations an hour before
the class starts. If you call less than an hour before the start
of your class and there is no announcement of cancellations on
the answering machine, then you can assume class will be held.
