Everyone wants to be a ninja warrior like on NBC’s popular television show, American Ninja Warrior. Besides being the most fun that kids can have exercising, Brooklyn Ninja Academy promotes discipline, focus, and behavioral development. The sport of ninja warrior training is for any skill level, and fosters kids’ growth and improvement, while they’re having the time of their lives. 

A 10-week progressive program teaches future ninjas how to overcome ninja warrior obstacles one by one. Classes are age-based (6-13), once per week for one hour after school or on weekends. Lessons are taught by certified ninja coaches, some of whom have been featured on American Ninja Warrior and American Ninja Warrior Junior

Ninjas analyze, approach, and conquer obstacles that mimic the movement and strategy of obstacles on the show. They’ll learn new skills and techniques for climbing, swinging, agility, balance, and strength. Kids gain confidence as they master each obstacle, increase their skill level, and become ready to take on the next progression. There is no better feeling than the ultimate thrill of hitting the buzzer at the top of the iconic Warped Wall after running a course, complete with sound effects and lights!

Brooklyn Ninja Academy also hosts exciting and memorable birthday parties. A full 90 minutes is spent on the gym floor in an action-packed event for maximum fun, with no down time – and you’ll have the entire 7,000 square foot facility to yourselves! Kids learn about 6 or 7 different ninja warrior obstacles, and then put it all together and run the entire obstacle course, complete with sound effects, lights, and the thrill of hitting the buzzer at the top of the Warped Wall! Supervised open training takes place while other kids run their courses. Maximum number of kids is 20, ages 6+. Brooklyn Ninja Academy parties are unique in that they waste no time with pizza and cake. The facility allows no food (you can offer to-go cupcakes or cakes-in-a-jar, or pair the outing with one of many nearby restaurants including Two Boots Pizza for a 15% discount), just highly organized activities for maximum fun.

Recent reviews of Brooklyn Ninja Academy: 

“Excellent experience! Hosted a birthday party for my son and 20 rowdy boys and everyone had a very good time. Coaches were absolutely amazing (high energy, organized) and took the lead and parents were able to sit back and relax.” –Mira C. 

“Our daughter loves it here so much! We used to go to their location in Manhattan and we were so excited to find out that they opened a location in Brooklyn which is much closer to our home. To be honest we would go no matter the distance as we have such a great experience here. The teachers are supportive, super encouraging and fun. They really challenge the kids and teach them ways to improve their strength so they can continue to get better. It's a great workout!” –Xandro A. 

“We were thrilled when Ninja Academy opened a Brooklyn location. My son started with a private lesson, and loved it so much we immediately signed him up for the regular classes. The obstacle course changes frequently, so there's always something new to explore and try. My son enjoys working with all the coaches, and they each bring a little something different to the classes they teach while all making the classes fun. It's also exciting to watch our coaches on the actual American Ninja Warrior show!” –Melissa C.
