Ninja

Welcome to our Ninja Program!

At Ninja Class, we offer a dynamic and engaging range of activities designed to help aspiring ninjas develop their skills, master techniques, and have a blast while doing it. Our program is divided into three exciting categories

1. Practice Activities:
These activities are all about honing specific skills, refining techniques, and building foundational strengths. We believe in the power of practice to make perfect ninjas. Our practice activities include:
Group Obstacle Runs: This unique experience allows athletes to conquer obstacle courses together, fostering teamwork and mastery of each section.
Calisthenics and Obstacle Practice: Build strength, endurance, and familiarity with obstacle elements through repetitive exercises and drills.
Progression Challenges: Incremental challenges that increase in difficulty, designed to push an athlete’s capability and comfort level to new heights.

2. Games Activities:
We believe that learning should be fun and engaging. Our games are designed to keep the training exciting while still promoting skill development. These activities include:
Floor Is Lava: In this engaging game, athletes must navigate the room as if the floor were lava, avoiding contact with it as they move.
Parkour Tag: A thrilling combination of the classic game of tag with parkour elements. The person who’s “it” must tag others using parkour movements.
Tag Teams: This is a team-based version of parkour tag, promoting cooperation, strategy, and teamwork.
Musical Chairs – Obstacle Edition: We’ve put a twist on the classic game. When the music stops, athletes must find an obstacle to hold onto, making it a challenging and entertaining competition.

3. Competitive Training Activities:
For those ready to take their ninja skills to the next level, our Competitive Training Activities simulate real competitive conditions, preparing athletes for the challenges that lie ahead. This section includes:
Individual Course Runs: Athletes navigate an obstacle course individually, challenging themselves to achieve their best time while maintaining precision.
Ninja Time Trials: Athletes race against the clock, focusing on both speed and technique.
Ninja Vs. Ninja: A head-to-head competition format where athletes compete directly against one another on parallel courses.
Shadow Courses: Athletes run the course with a “shadow” pursuing closely behind. The shadow aims to catch the athlete, adding a sense of urgency and competition to the run.
