Ninja Zone
NinjaZone® – Ninja Classes for Kids
Ninja Zone is a nation-wide program that’s grounded in a mixture of martial arts, gymnastics, and freestyle movement.
Your child will combine these practices to create ninja-style moves that are used to conquer challenges and elude (imaginary) opponents.
The result is a skill-based, fast-paced, fun program geared for children who have enormous energy and are looking to boost their coordination and athleticism.
The Ninja Zone program combines:
The coordination
from gymnastics
The strength and agility
The creativity
The Benefits of Ninja Zone
While Ninja Zone develops your child’s coordination and strength (and is tremendous fun), it also helps builds character and cultivates discipline.
Ninja zone instills values like creativity, practice and patience. It also gives your child the confidence to take on new challenges and problem solve.
We believe that children who learn to channel their impulse and energy toward a focused goal will succeed in all endeavors!
Anna and the gang at Mountain Kids are awesome! We have been super happy with the quality of staff (and most staff are still there over the last 3 years), the variety of activities, and the attention each chile receives. We recommend Mountain Kids highly!
