What Every Parent Should Know About Ninja Classes (And Why Your Kid Will Thank You)

It's More Than Just Running and Jumping

Ninja classes might look like pure fun from the outside—and they are!—but they're also thoughtfully designed to build strength, agility, focus, and confidence. At Jana's Gymnastics, our ninja programs blend the best parts of gymnastics, martial arts, and obstacle course training into one high-energy class that keeps kids moving and engaged. Every session is built around structured challenges that meet kids where they are, with achievements that help them safely grow their skills.

Why Kids Can't Get Enough

Kids love anything that feels adventurous. Climbing, jumping, swinging, and flipping through a ninja course allows them to explore what their bodies can do in a safe, supportive environment. For kids who might not connect with traditional team sports, ninja class can be a refreshing alternative. It's physical, creative, and just the right kind of challenging, which makes every small success feel like a huge win.

Life Skills in Disguise

Beyond the cool moves, ninja classes at Jana's Gymnastics help kids develop real-world skills they can use outside the gym. From learning to fall safely to pushing through frustration, each class teaches persistence, control, and self-confidence. We even start each session with our Ninja Creed, a simple but powerful reminder of the values we want kids to carry: respect, discipline, and a positive attitude.

A Great Fit for Older Kids

We know that finding the right after-school activity for 7–12-year-olds can be tough—that's why we've built our ninja program with them in mind. Our classes are fast-paced, empowering, and tailored for kids who are ready for something fun, a little daring, and super confidence-building. Plus, our risk-free trial class makes it easy to see if Ninja is the right fit!
