Not just a coach, but a mentor too…

Head Coach Ethan Niu started his journey of practicing and competing in the art of Chinese Martial Arts when he was 4 years old. With Master Adrian Niu as his father and teacher, Ethan worked diligently in learning and practicing Competitive Wushu, Traditional Kungfu, Self-Defense Sparring, Chinese Fencing, and much more. Growing up with NIU Academy, he started assisting classes early on when he entered high school. This eventually branched into taking over his own classes and providing beneficial private lessons for our students. Coach Ethan competed in the 2019 National Team Trials and made it onto the USA National Wushu Team.
