OPENING SUMMER 2024 IN CHARLESTON, SC!
WHAT IS PARKOUR?

Athletes inspired by the American Ninja Warrior television show created their own community and training facilities. These ninja gyms are scattered throughout the United States and often run by competitors of the show.

Typically, you will find parkour and rock climbing in a ninja gym.  These gyms allow you to train with challenging obstacles. Dedicated and competitive athletes search the country for ninja gyms because they contain the necessary equipment and coaching to prepare them for American Ninja Warrior Competitions.

What exactly is parkour?

Parkour was developed in France, and it is a French word for a training discipline using movement developed from military obstacle course training. This training improves your ability to overcome both mental and physical obstacles.  Athletes maneuver through a complex course without any assistance trying to get from one point to another in the fastest and most efficient way possible. It has some aspects of a non-combative martial art that includes running, climbing, swinging, vaulting, jumping, rolling and any other movements deemed suitable for the course.

Ninja gyms are about more than the equipment. Ninja gyms are about the people and the energy they bring with them. These gyms host a community of athletes who get together to inspire one another. Ninja gyms are a combination of competition and encouragement. They are a safe space for local ninja warriors and for ninja warriors who aspire beyond their community. Many dream and train to be on the hit NBC show. Training is available for all levels and ages from beginners to warriors. Check with your local ninja gym for open gym times, classes, parties, and team building.

All ages are welcome at ninja gyms. You can drop in or buy membership packages. Group classes and private coaching is also available. Ninja warriors of all ages conquer the challenging courses in a safe environment. When you are ready, there are Ninja Warrior competitions and races outside of the ninja gym for you to reach higher levels of your growing skills. Events such as Warrior Mud Runs and other races are often sponsored by ninja gyms.  Regular workouts at ninja gyms help prepare athletes for these rigorous events.
