World Ninja League

STUDENTS: ARE YOU SERIOUS ABOUT NINJA? ASK US ABOUT TEAM!

The World Ninja League is the governing organization for the sport of Ninja. Tier 1 (for advanced athletes) and Tier 2 (for intermediate and beginner athletes) competitions take place from September to April each year, with Regional Championships in May, and World Championships in June. If you’re interested in competing, please learn about the league by visiting their website and ask your coaches!

Ninjas may try out for Team after having completed at least one semester of our Advanced program. Basic skill requirements depend on division and include 10′ or 12′ Warped Wall, 5′ or 6′ laché, and basic ring, grip, trapeze, balance, and agility technique. Skills, technique, and overall fitness level will be assessed at tryouts.

Testimonials

Paula D.

My child is growing in confidence and is working on his strength and stamina in a fun, motivating and social atmosphere!

Sarah U.

Wow! By far the best birthday experience my 3 sons ever had. Our instructors were amazing teaching 10 energetic boys! We will definitely be signing up for classes. Great facility too!

Kim K.

We celebrated my daughter’s 10th birthday at NY Ninja Academy. My 12 year old son and his friend joined in the party. Everyone had a wonderful time. The staff was great with the kids. On the way home the 6 kids I had in the car could not stop talking about the instructors and how much fun they had. Highly recommend.

Marlena B.

We love this place. The coaches are fantastic. My kid feels challenged and has learned new skills he can use both inside and out of the gym.

Debra F.

As if by magic, the owner has found a talented/kind group of coaches and staff. Their management of the kiddos during classes is an astonishing mix of teaching through encouragement, support and persistence. They never let a kid get discouraged – in fact, making sure every kid walks out of class with their head held high seems to be the priority.

Emma C.

Fun and engaging for kids and adults! Warped walls, balance obstacles, and a million other challenging stations to conquer! Like nothing else in the city!

Chris L.

This was a blast! My kids took part in an introductory Drop In class and loved it! Instructors were attentive, knowledgeable, and patient. Stressing safety and inclusion, my kids came away from this feeling empowered, and begging to come back.

James G.

The customer service is INCREDIBLE! Both via email with reservations and reschedulings, and the coaches are so nice! Great place to have a birthday party, even for adults!

Bryan J.

I love this place! I live close by so it kind of feels like a second home to me. Thank you guys for the good vibes and awesome obstacle courses. I highly recommend training here.

Holly V.
