Meet the coaches, learn how the obstacles work and see what happens when your kid realizes, "Wait... I can do this."
No ninja experience required. First-class offer subject to current class availability.
Some kids just light up when they find ninja.
The obstacle doesn't care whether you're the fastest kid, the tallest kid or the kid who usually gets picked first.
It just gives you a problem to solve. Try it. Miss it. Change something. Encourage the kid next to you. Then try again.
That's why we care about much more than whether somebody reaches the buzzer.
Use the whole body.
Climb, swing, balance, jump, grip, crawl and discover new ways to move.
Figure out the next move.
Every obstacle is a physical puzzle with more than one way forward.
See progress happen.
Yesterday's impossible can become today's warm-up.
Don't take our word for it.

Meet Octo Ninja →Start with the easy questions.
You don't need to know what a lache is before your first visit.
My child has never tried ninja. Where should we start?
Open Gym is the easiest low-pressure introduction. Kids can explore the obstacle course at their own pace without committing to a class or membership.
If your child wants coaching and structured skill progression, try a beginner-friendly ninja class. First-time families can currently try their first class free.
Does my child need experience or have to be athletic?
No. Beginners are welcome. Kids can start with obstacles that match their current ability and build from there.
Ninja combines climbing, swinging, balance, coordination, grip, body awareness and problem-solving without expecting every child to move at the same level or pace.
What's the difference between Open Gym and ninja classes?
Open Gym is self-directed. Participants explore the obstacle course at their own pace.
Ninja classes are coach-led. Classes teach obstacle technique, movement skills and progressions through structured training.
Is Octo Ninja indoors?
Yes. Octo Ninja is a 15,000-square-foot indoor ninja and obstacle gym in North Austin.
Kids can climb, swing, balance and burn energy without depending on Texas heat or rainy weather.
Is Octo Ninja the former Ninja Nation Austin gym?
Yes. The North Lamar facility originally opened as Ninja Nation Austin.
In 2026, the locally owned Austin gym began its next chapter as Octo Ninja — an independent local brand at the same 6500 N Lamar Blvd location.
