Competitions
Team Ninja Republic trains to compete in local and national competitions. Ninja Republic hosts competitions for the Bay Area Ninja League (BANL), the Ultimate Ninja Athlete Association (UNAA) and the Federation of International Ninja Athletes (FINA). We also partner with the Wolfpack Pentathlon Club to host the Obstacle Course Race (OCR) portion of pentathlon events, including qualifiers for USA Pentathlon.
If you've done gymnastics or rock climbing and are looking to use your talents for something a little more fun and freeform, you should join one of our ninja team practices. Even if you just like to swing your body around with reckless abandon, we can get you hitting a buzzer in less time than you'd think.
