Kids’ ninja classes are popping up in gyms all over the suburbs, and it’s not hard to see why. Kids love letting loose in this high-energy environment where kicking, punching, swinging, and jumping are actually encouraged.
Part martial arts and part gymnastics, ninja training programs offer young athletes the best of both worlds. These classes are definitely fun ones!
Kidlist Tip: Some of these spots also offer open gym times where kids can come in and use the ninja equipment, which is a fun way to check out the spots.

As kids grow, New Ninjas (5-13 yrs) covers flipping, swinging, and rolling basics, Mighty Ninjas (5+ yrs) advances into handstand walking, handsprings, and parkour vaults, and Mega/Master (7+ yrs) tackles wall flips, long laches, and truly challenging obstacle courses.
