Taiji Spiral - a fun interactive tai chi game

For the past 20 years - in hundreds of cities in over 80 nations - World Tai Chi Day events have been held on the last Saturday in April in every time zone around the world. Starting at 10:00 am in the first time zone, and moving in a wave around the earth as 10:00 am reaches each new time zone, groups will gather to practice Tai Chi.

The Jing Ying Institute of Kung Fu & Tai Chi, a participant in this global event for two decades, will be celebrating World Tai Chi Day this year at the Severna Park Community Center, under the big tree beside the "Holy Grounds" building, If it rains, it will be held inside the building. Join us as we join others around the world to practice Tai Chi in friendship and wellness.

Harvard Medical School has stated that tai chi is one of the 5 “best exercises you can ever do.” Jing Ying Institute hopes to spread information about the incredible health benefits to as many people as possible through its ongoing outreach.
