At World Ninja League, we’re always looking for ways to push the boundaries of ninja competition, and this season, we’re launching something brand new: the Season-Long Course Test Series. This format is designed to give athletes the best possible competition experience while making ninja events more sustainable for gyms.
Motus Ninjas – Lee’s Summit is set to host this innovative new competition format on March 16, 2025, and April 6, 2025, offering athletes a unique opportunity to refine their skills, develop strategy, and compete in a livestreamed event that will bring the ninja community together like never before.
The concept is simple: instead of building a brand-new course for every competition, select gyms will create a single, adaptable course that will be used throughout the season. Athletes will get the opportunity to test their skills on the same course design, allowing for focused training, strategic improvement, and next-level competition readiness.
The primary goals of this format include:
One of the biggest challenges in ninja is preparing for competitions without knowing what obstacles you’ll face. With the Season-Long Course Test Series, athletes can train with a clear target in mind. This allows for:
More strategic training – Athletes can sharpen their skills on obstacles they’ll actually see in competition.
More meaningful progress tracking – With a consistent course, ninjas can measure their improvement over time.
A deeper level of competition strategy – Instead of relying on quick on-the-spot adjustments, athletes can develop and refine their approaches.
This format is designed to help athletes elevate their training and performance.
Here’s why you should sign up:
Creating a great ninja course takes time, resources, and expertise. With this new format, gyms can invest more into course design, knowing that the effort will be spread across multiple competitions. This means:
Higher-quality courses – More time and budget can go into designing and refining challenging, creative obstacles.
Sustainable competitions – Gyms can focus on making each event an incredible experience without constantly rebuilding from scratch.
A more focused athlete experience – With well-tested courses, athletes can focus on performance rather than adjusting to unexpected elements.
A key part of this series is the ability to adapt and evolve the course while maintaining its core challenges. Here’s how it works:
🔹 Hosts must select and announce their format (Flow, Full, or Challenge) before the series begins.
🔹 This decision shapes the competitive experience, ensuring athletes can prepare accordingly.
Instead of rebuilding courses, hosts will make strategic refinements to keep the challenge fresh.
Course Adaptation Options:
🔹 Preserve & refine – Keep the layout but fine-tune dimensions, difficulty, and flow.
🔹 Reconfigure & refresh – Rearrange existing obstacles to create new challenges while maintaining familiarity.
Enhancement Guidelines:
To ensure fairness and transparency, all modifications will be clearly communicated through:
📢 Pre-event video documentation sent to competitors
📢 On-site rules briefing before each competition
Additionally, each event will include:
The Motus Season-Long Course Test Series is bringing something fresh and exciting to ninja competitions. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete looking to refine your skills or a competitor ready to take on a new challenge, this format is designed to push you to the next level.
Mark your calendars for March 16, 2025, and April 6, 2025, and get ready to train, strategize, and compete like never before!
