Are there different Ninja levels in class?

  • There is a single level for Mini Ninjas.
  • There are 7 levels for Kid Ninjas. On the last Saturday of each month, a level-up test opportunity is offered to participants. Testing requirements for each level are described on our level-up sheets.

Can my 5-year-old attend Kid Ninja classes instead of Mini Ninjas?
After an assessment of your child’s abilities by one of our Ninja coaches, with special permission he or she may be allowed to participate in classes for ages 6 to 12. Please call ahead to discuss this with one of our team members.

Can I bring my child’s friend to class with us?
Not for our Ninja Classes since they are rostered classes. Find out more about our ninja classes by clicking here for kid ninja classes and here for mini ninja classes.

Do I need previous experience to attend a class?
No previous experience is necessary, you’ll just need to attend the appropriate class based on your level.

How are classes structured?
Every class has a different focus, with our Ninja coaches highlighting specific obstacles during the class.

What should I wear?
Ninja class participants of all levels should wear their Ninja Level Shirt along with comfortable workout clothes that are not baggy or loose, to prevent clothing getting caught in obstacles. Shoes are not required.

Do you offer Ninja shirts?
We do! Ninjas of all ages can purchase our black Ninja shirts. Colored shirts are also available for Kid Ninjas (ages 6 to 12), but these can only be purchased after participating in class and passing the level-up test associated with each shirt color.
