By opening up the world of Ninja Sport to your child, you are providing a unique way to focus their energy. Practicing the sport of ninja exercises the body and mind, but also builds character and cultivates discipline.

Gymnastics
Martial Arts
Obstacle Course Training
Freestyle Movement
Ninja Zone uses your child's energy to create focus!
Beyond skill, this class teaches:
Self-Confidence
Discipline
Impulse Control
Responsibility
Instinctual Safety
The levels of Ninja Zone are defined by the headband colors of White, Yellow, Green & Blue. A progressive level system evaluates and advances ninjas on their skills and knowledge of core values as described in the Ninja Zone Creed.
For success in school, sport and life, a child that learns to channel their impulse and energy towards a focused goal will succeed in all endeavors.
Ninja White is the 1st level of Ninja Zone and all new Ninjas over age 6 must complete and test out of this class. Ninjas will be introduced to all the fundamental skills of Ninja such as ninja rolling for safety, back flip progressions, basic vaulting, wall and bar progressions, basic kicking and punching technique and development of core strength and speed. Safety techniques for falling, landing and transitioning are emphasized.
There are no prerequisites to enroll in this class.
A Ninja Uniform shirt must be purchased at first class.
Ninja Yellow and the upper levels is for Ninjas who have mastered the skills in Ninja White. A "test mission" must be completed in order to move into the upper levels of the Ninja Zone program.
During the Ninja test, Ninjas will run through a course that incorporates all the required skills to progress to the next level. Once they have showed their proficiency all Ninjas will go through a Ninja move up ceremony, where the instructors will present a new Ninja shirt with the new upgraded color. White -> Yellow -> Green -> Blue -> Purple
Once your Ninja has received a recommendation from their Ninja instructors you can sign up for the next testing date.
