Ninja Exercises

[2021 Edition: Ninja Exercises] Choreography Video Filming Location: Denpark

Ninja Calisthenics is a fun exercise game where you can learn lots of ninja techniques while singing and dancing.

The song and dance are packed with ninja moves.

When you throw a shuriken, move your hands with a swoosh, swoosh, swoosh; when you use a blowgun, blow a sharp puff of air; and when you use the art of concealment, hush and hide quietly—The Ninja Squad demonstrates it all with easy-to-follow dance moves.

The lively song is cheerful too, so even children who can’t play outside due to the pandemic can have fun moving their bodies.

Jump, hop, and run.

Why not try Ninja Calisthenics, where everyone can join in, move their bodies big, and have a great time?

[Age 3] Ninja circuit play

[3-year-olds] Ninja Training! ~Circuit Play~

We’ll train like ninjas using a handmade circuit we created together with kids who love ninja play.

By using fun tools and circuits they made themselves and adding the playful element of “ninja training,” children can move their bodies naturally and enjoyably without pushing too hard.

Through exercise, they not only develop jumping power and balance, but also learn to follow rules and take turns, as well as cooperate with friends.

The sense of achievement at the finish feels great! After completing the circuit, prepare fun games like shuriken play and target throwing, and they’ll definitely be excited, saying, “Let’s do it again!”

This is a game where you perform ninja arts like the “Cloak of Invisibility” and “Clone Technique” to gentle background music.
