Staff Bio

Jian began his gymnastics training at the age of four. By ten, he had enrolled in the Wuhan Acrobatics Arts School in China, specialising in handstands. Over seven years of intensive training, Jian developed an elite understanding of acrobatics, which he applied to handstand acts, chair towers, chair stacking, high single canes, and other disciplines. He also demonstrated exceptional skill in Chinese pole, hoop diving, teeterboard, duo aerial silks, and hand-to-hand acts.

Jian toured over ten countries with the Wuhan Acrobatic Troupe and the Hunan Acrobatic Troupe. His international tours included long-term performances in South Korea, Spain, Turkey, Australia, the United States, Canada, Finland, and more. On the world stage, his exquisite handstand skills earned widespread acclaim from audiences and media alike.

He has received numerous accolades for his performances, including the Gold Medal in the Youth Category (Acrobatics) at the Wuhan International Circus Arts Festival in China, the Gold Medal at the International Circus Arts Festival in Rome (swinging Chinese pole), and the Silver Medal at the Wuqiao International Acrobatic Arts Festival in China (swinging Chinese pole).

Jian was honoured with an invitation to perform in the acrobatics segment at the closing ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. He was also invited multiple times to provide expert acrobatics commentary for Hunan Television, participating in the recording and live broadcasting of TV programs.

Jian’s teaching philosophy is grounded in a deep understanding of acrobatics. He is dedicated to helping NICA students build a strong professional foundation to support their future growth in circus arts.
