We would like to thank all who participated in this first year. We strive to be a world leader in ninja obstacle competition and feel confident that this year’s improvements will make this one of the most objective and fair tournaments in the world. We made history in our inaugural year in having a true “world” tournament as 45 gyms with over 1000 athletes in 12 countries throughout the world, from Asia to Europe and North and South America joined in and gave it their all.

Join us in this incredible experience as you and your team compete on the same stage with the entire globe in this International competition in hopes of being crowned, a World Champion. This course will remain the same each year, just like an Olympic event, this way true world records can be set and goals achieved. Just like in track, in the 400m, track texture, the wind force and direction, the weather, hot, cold , humid, etc....so many variables that makes each location unique, the course or event remains the same and everyone can work year round to set the new world record.
