We believe that consistent coaching, combined with our top-notch curriculum, offers the greatest opportunity for improvement. Discover the body symmetry you've been dreaming of today!
A monthly commitment is all that is required. Families are billed for the entire month, at the beginning of the month. Athletes can attend 1 make up class every other month.
How will ninja training improve the health & well-being of my child?
Enrolling your child in ninja training in Southeastern Michigan offers a multitude of advantages. This physically demanding and immersive activity contributes to their overall health and well-being by enhancing strength, agility, and endurance. Ninja training not only cultivates physical prowess but also nurtures mental discipline, self-confidence, and teamwork, ensuring well-rounded development. If your child is exposed to the fundamentals of athletic movement, including mobility, stability, motor control and athletic skill during their early years, they will lay the groundwork for proficiency in sports of all types.
Youth Ninja Class Levels
Our class divisions are based on age to respect, cognitive ability, stamina and maturity of the athlete. We do not make exceptions with our age divisions. Advanced classes, our Ninja Masters classes, are offered with a coach’s recommendation. The recommendation is based on appropriate class interaction as well as skill so all students will need to start in a standard class before being selected for advanced placement.
Preschool Ninjas (3-4 yrs)
Preschoolers are just learning that they can control the movement of their bodies. That is the main focus of our preschool program. INTENTIONAL MOVEMENT leads to athleticism. Once they learn to listen to their coaches cues, and create their own INTENTIONAL MOVEMENT, they are off to the races.
3 Year Olds
Parent/Tot - parents will participate with their little ninjas to help them focus on the structure of the class and feel more confident in their new ninja world.
4 Year Olds
This is our youngest independent ninja class. They can show mom and dad their independence and newly developing self control!

Nano Ninjas (5-7 yrs)
During the ages from 4-8, children are developing the NEURAL PATHWAYS for natural agility. If these young athletes are introduced to a variety of athletic movement during this important phase, they will have greater success in a variety of athletic ventures. Every CLASS is filled with a variety of movement and our structured progression of skills will help their CONFIDENCE grow, as their skills progress! This class is conducted in our gym for smaller athletes, so that their CONFIDENCE is nurtured, as they perfect the basic movements in obstacles made just for them.

Novice Ninjas (7-10 yrs)
Yes, 7 yr olds can participate in Nano Ninjas or Novice Ninjas. If your 7 yr old is adventurous and seemingly fearless, this is a more challenging choice for their Ninja experience. This class is conducted in the main gym so the obstacles can be intimidating for a timid 7 yr old. They will continue to work on the basic skills that will propel them forward on the PROGRESSION OF SKILLS needed for success on more complicated obstacles. With that progression, their CONFIDENCE will grow along with those skills.

Power Ninjas (10-15 yrs)
There is another crossover year between Power Ninjas and Novice Ninjas. Strength, size of the athlete, and maturity will best determine which choice will be best for your child. Since these athletes are mature enough to achieve proper body positions, conditioning for strength and endurance are staples in their classes. All athletes are at different stages of their athletic ability and experience, but our coaches are well versed in our PROGRESSION OF SKILLS, so they can challenge the accomplished ninja, while breaking skills down into bite sized chunks for athletes needing extra practice on basic ninja skills.

These classes are for advanced ninjas, who have been recommended by a coach or evaluated before signing up. These athletes are well versed in the types of swings and kips needed for advanced ninja movement. They have learned to create power with their entire body, and are ready for release moves and more complicated obstacles.

What the parents of our youth ninjas have to say about our classes
My son was having a bit of a rough day and had a bit of a rough start to class when he forgot his water bottle in the car and got upset. During group warm up, coaches came over and made efforts to cheer him up and get him involved in the class in a very positive manner. They could have just continued with the rest of the class and left it up to me to get him calmed down and I appreciate that they made the effort to make him feel welcome and get him involved.
Why No Youth Ninja Open Gym?
The Ninja's Edge runs a youth athletic development program. To achieve success, we have found that younger athletes need specific direction and proper spotting to perform many of these difficult movements and we put the safety of our athletes above everything else. Youth open gyms are not safe and not instructional - and those are the most important pillars of our program.
