Here at JING Kids, we firmly believe that all children should be given the opportunity to learn the skills they will need to succeed in a global market and an interconnected world, physically, mentally, and emotionally, and preferably in a way that is both fun and challenging. The JING Institute of Chinese Martial Arts & Culture has been in existence since 2001, founded by Siu-Fong Evans and ran by her daughter and son-in-law, Jing Jing and Chris Mendoza. JING was always meant to be a place to learn more than just martial arts; it was meant to be a source of Chinese language and cultural learning for all of San Diego to enjoy. Hence, JING has always hosted cultural events and provided Chinese Language training services to the community. It wasn't until 2011, however, that forces converged and JING was able to begin JING Kids, a program tailored specifically for children in grades K-7 to teach them Chinese Language and Culture, including, of course, Chinese Wushu / Kung Fu! We at JING are very proud with our achievements thus far. Our students have made great strides in both physical, cultural, and linguistic development, and, we like to think, have matured due to their time and training at JING.
