Four years after the last Canadian National Wushu and Taiji Team Selections in 2018, the Ji Hong family is glad to finally be back in action at the 2022 Canadian National Martial Arts Championships and Festival.
This year’s event was held in Thunder Bay, Ontario at Lakehead University, from July 28th to 31st. With 500 participants coming in from all around the country, Ji Hong is proud to have represented Edmonton with 19 students competing in both the Wushu and Taiji competitions.
We are now running both in-person and online classes! Please see our schedules for the classes currently running, or email us at edmonton@jihongtaichi.com or calgary@jihongtaichi.com. Don’t see the class you’re interested in on our schedules? You can fill out the online form to request the class for future schedules.
Please note that we are continuing to wear masks in all in-person classes, to best protect all students attending.
Due to the continued COVID-19 situation, most of our students and staff feel that it is best to wait before reopening our doors for in-person classes. Our Tai Chi classes have been moved online over the past few months to great feedback from our students, and will continue online through Zoom for the months of September and October. Please inquire if you would like to register. Thank you for your continued patience and support through these unique circumstances.
For our Wushu students, we have continued online and limited in-person training classes for our advanced team students. As of the next two months we will be closely monitoring the COVID-19 developments, and hope to restart more classes later this fall.
We look forward to seeing many of you through our online classes, and hope to see everyone in person again by our next semester in November! Be safe and stay well.
Zoom Classes Now Available

With all that has been going on, I hope everyone has been staying healthy and well. Although we first anticipated that we would be able to resume regular classes in a month or two, it has now been 3 months since we have had to close down. In light of the possible start of phase 2 in Alberta, we have been looking at options for resuming classes for our students to resume their Tai Chi journey and practice.

Unfortunately, we are still unable to resume our regularly schedule classes until further notice. We take the health of our students and the general public seriously, and will continue to monitor the situation before we open up again. At the end of April we will send out a notice if we are able to start classes again. If not, there will be a closure until further notice.
Dear Students and Parents:
In light of the outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus becoming a pandemic around the world and our province’s active efforts to prevent further spread of the virus, The Ji Hong Wushu & Taichi College has decided to contribute to our community health and safety by temporarily closing for the coming two weeks. This will be effective as of March 13th until March 29th.
As the situation is quickly changing and unpredictable, we will then follow up with you all about whether we can resume classes after the 29th. We hope you all are taking care of yourselves and are doing well.
We appreciate your understanding and help in reducing the risk of community infection, and as usual, please do not hesitate to email me if you have questions or concerns.
