- Jiang Yan Jing (Chinese Acrobat)
Jiang Yanjing (Traditional Chinese: 姜延静;born January 19, 1959 in Shen Yang, China) is a Chinese
acrobat who specializes in High Unicycle Bowl-Kicking and was a former member of the Shen Yang Acrobatics Troupe. Having won a gold medal at the International Festival of Circus Arts in France, it is believed that he created the current style of kicking the bowls (Facing opposite directions). He is also credited with creating the incredible teapot finale to the act, which few (Other than Yanjing) have been able to imitate due to its difficulty. Yanjing moved to the United States in 1999 and currently resides in Pasadena, California.
