Daniella Blanchard was named Lead Ninja Coach and Program Director. Blanchard appeared on American Ninja Warrior Season 16 and currently holds the #1 Adult Female World Champion and Strongest Ninja Titles (among other medals) in the World Ninja League Season IX Championships in June and took first place in both the Northeast and New England Regional Championships. She has been coaching kids and adults the sport of ninja for over three years in New York at Westchester Ninjas, Empire Ninja, and New York City Ninja Academy. Now she’s excited to bring her passion for the sport to the west coast. Daniella’s favorite obstacles are cliffhangers and vertical limits – she loves grip strength challenges.
Los Angeles Ninja Academy owner, Madelyn Scarpulla, who owns and operates two other successful locations, New York City Ninja Academy and Brooklyn Ninja Academy, is now bringing her sophisticated ninja training program to the west coast.
“We have created a close-knit community of talented ninja athletes in both Manhattan and Brooklyn,” says Scarpulla. “It has been very rewarding to witness friendships blossom and athletic milestones achieved… I’m thrilled to bring the first World Ninja League sanctioned ninja training facility to Los Angeles, and I’m looking forward to creating another welcoming and supportive community of athletes to the sport of ninja warrior.”
Los Angeles Ninja Academy will teach ninjas of all levels how to conquer uniquely designed, challenging, and exciting ninja warrior obstacles that mimic those on the popular NBC television show, American Ninja Warrior. Ninjas learn new skills and techniques for climbing, swinging, agility, balance, strength, and of course the iconic Warped Wall. Obstacles rotate each week, so ninjas are challenged in new ways every time they visit. Participants will eventually tackle obstacles with increasing difficulty and will learn strategies to conquer an entire obstacle course. Ninja warrior training is a thrilling physical and mental challenge an innovative approach to setting, achieving, and surpassing fitness and mental goals.
Los Angeles Ninja Academy offers kids programs for ages 6-12 after school and on weekends, training for teens and adults, advanced sessions to prepare athletes interested in competition, as well as private lessons, corporate team building events, and kids birthday parties on weekends. Special guest ninja coaches including American Ninja Warrior veterans will make appearances for private advanced training.
