  NINJAZONE IS MOVING TO JUMP START SOUTH IN 2024!

Beginning in January 2024, all NinjaZone classes will take place at Jump Start South. Brand New equipment includes a NINJA RIG! Similar to what you see on 'American Ninja Warrior,' the Ninja Rig will feature several attachments for students to climb, complete obstacle courses, and more! Check out the photos below to see the new gear!

 

In addition to new equipment and a new space, we are excited to be able to offer MORE NinjaZone classes with this move! Be on the lookout for additional class offerings for all levels. We have been working hard to put together class rotations for our South location to be able to accommodate our existing classes, the current NinjaZone schedule, and new Ninja classes, so everyone can experience equal, fun gym time!

 

We understand that many NinjaZone families also have other children in classes at our North location and now will have to juggle getting to 2 locations. The good news is that our South location is just down the road from our North gym! If you are a current NinjaZone family and need to change class times due to the location change, please take the month of December to contact the Front Office Staff for a transfer.

JUMP. LISTEN. FLIP. LEARN. KICK. FOCUS. FLY. CHALLENGE

Lil' Ninjas

Lil’ Ninjas is the entry level to the all-new sport discipline inspired by gymnastics, martial arts, obstacle training, and freestyle movement. This of offered for kids 3.5 to 5 years of age. 

Class goals: Listening skills, confidence, trying new things, working through frustration, and manners. We do all this through a strategic mix of skills and progressions.

Ninjas will learn progressions and terminology for skills used in Ninja training including rolling, vaulting, basic large gross motor skills, jumping, falling, swinging, climbing, etc with a goal to develop body coordination, awareness, and listening skills required for Ninja White Level. 

NinjaZone

Children learn a combination of flips, rolls, jumps, and kicks. Strength and agility are tested through obstacle courses and various training techniques.

A progressive level system evaluates and advances children in their skill and knowledge of core values as described in the NinjaZone creed. Children advance and learn at their own pace.

The levels of NinjaZone are defined by the headband colors of White, Yellow, Green, Blue, and Purple.

NinjaZone - White Level

Ninjas train for fundamental body movement, basic skills including Ninja rolling for safety, rolls, carts, basic vaulting, wall & bar progressions, basic kicking & punching technique, development of core strength & speed.

NinjaZone - Yellow Level

For Ninjas who pass the White level Ninja Mission, Yellow level includes total mastery of the White level skills, as well as progressions into some basic flips and more intermediate skills.

For Ninjas who pass the Green level Ninja Mission, Blue Ninjas continue to work on skills of previous levels with advancement in the difficulty of progressions. Blue Ninjas start to work on more advanced skills and flips, with an emphasis on flipping combos and more kicks into more difficult skills. 

Ninja Missions

Ninjas move through the levels when they compete in NINJA MISSIONS!! When an instructor thinks your child is ready to move to the next color they will be invited to a mission and presented the next color headband.
