Ninja Warrior Instructor

Do you watch American Ninja Warrior and think to yourself "I could do that"? Better yet, have you done that? We're looking for some good ninja warrior instructors. Personal trainers, gymnasts and rock climbers all make great ninja warriors. Even if you haven't done ninja warrior before but you understand body mechanics and how to teach those mechanics to a student, we can train you on ninja-specific elements.

Requirements:

You must be athletically fit and able to explain & demonstrate body mechanics. These demonstrations will require you to swing from bars 10' above the ground, support your body weight with just your fingers and run up an 11' warped wall (if you're taller than 5' 5" you'll be able to do it pretty easily)
You must be available for classes in the late afternoons and early evenings
You must be comfortable instructing kids and adults alike
Must have transportation to 1701 Leslie Street in San Mateo (we are right next to Hayward Park Caltrain station and the El Camino bus stop is 3 blocks away)

NOT A REQUIREMENT:

You won't have to consider it your full-time employment. If you also coach another sport that's cool, as long as you cover your assigned classes for the month

You won't have to give people a tour of the facility or pitch them on buying a membership ;)
