"We promise you'll fall. You promise you'll get up."

The Head Instructor / Coach position presents an opportunity to put your stamp on a quickly-growing business as an integral member of Ninja Republic. This role is the most important hire in the short history of Ninja Republic as it will elevate us to being a “real” ninja gym. As such, you have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to establish our trajectory.

The Head Instructor will work closely with the owner to create, from scratch, a class and training program. Your objective will be to expand each ninja participant’s skills, strength, and personal confidence. Your secondary objective will be to start and grow a competition team. Our first goal is to host an in-house competition; from here we’ll develop a team that competes in the Bay Area Ninja League (BANL). Ultimately we’d like to host a regional UNAA event, or at the very least, be in a position where we’re sending competitors to UNAA events.  Additionally, the Head Instructor will lead weekly and monthly maintenance for the obstacles, weekly obstacle changes and overall design for the flow and challenges in the arena. In this role you will end up being a huge contributor to the culture of Ninja Republic, responsible for creating a fun, challenging and safe environment for each member of Ninja Republic.
