Ninja Grit

*Offered at Junior (5-7), PreTeen (8-12), and Teen/Adult (13+) Levels*

Ninja Grit is our next-level strength and skill development class designed to build the true foundation of a ninja athlete: grip strength, upper-body power, balance, coordination, resilience, and confidence under pressure.


If your child loves obstacles, Ninja Grit teaches them how to tackle challenges with intention, technique, and a growth mindset. This class builds the physical and mental tools ninjas need to progress safely and successfully.


Core Training Focus

  • Dead hangs & bar control
  • Dynamic movement: swings, transfers, laché progressions
  • Balance & precision footwork
  • Lower-body power and explosive takeoffs

Why Ninja Grit Matters

Ninja Grit isn’t just about learning new skills—it’s about learning how to push through hard things, trust their body, stay focused under pressure, and build real confidence through repetition and coaching.

Athletes leave every class:

  • Stronger
  • More coordinated
  • More resilient
  • And more capable—both on and off the course

Ninja Grit is the perfect bridge between beginner-level classes and more advanced ninja training, preparing athletes for harder obstacles, higher-intensity movement, and future competitive pathways
