Alex Ni competes at the 7th World Junior Wushu Championships held last month in Brazil. Ni, a West Windsor resident and rising junior at the Hun School, won two gold medals and a silver medal at the competition. He prevailed in the Changquan (Long Fist) and straightsword events and took second in spear. The event is held biennially and each country/region can send up to two boys and two girls for each of three age groups -12 and under, 13-15, and 16-18. Athletes from 42 countries competed in this year’s Championships. Ni, who took up martial arts at age 6, has earned spots in the U.S. junior wushu team, the U.S. senior wushu team, as well as the U.S. kungfu team. In addition, he regularly performs in school and local community talent and cultural shows, in senior and rehab centers, Plainsboro Founders Day, Chinese New Year celebrations, and in Lincoln Center in New York City.  Ni has been teaching Xingyi Quan, a fist form in the martial arts club at the Hun School.
