2 — THE GYM

I do want to add that on a previous reel, someone mentioned a few groups that did a workshop for an entire gym staff and their teenage athletes. Neighborhood Ninjas, Darkness 2 Light, and Partners in Prevention were the groups, the latter being the main group. Direct quote from the comment: “it’s like if Safe Sport was done well, in person, and specific to the community and situations you are engaged in.” If anyone has more info about that, please reach out to me or comment or anything to help spread the word. And I suggest some gyms look into this as well.

I also want to say that I can hold space for multiple things and I want to make something clear: yes, just because someone doesn’t post something doesn’t mean they don’t care; no, I’m not going to be any less provocative or in your face about spreading the message because actions speak louder than words. And action is necessary.
But I do understand there are nuances to this conversation. I understand that victims may be put in a terrible spot, feeling they need to speak up and lay low simultaneously.
So I’m going to, again, call upon non-victims to take action. And if this makes you uncomfortable, then I do not want to be around you. And I would advise others to keep away as well. It’s simple pattern recognition. Do better.

Destiny breathes.

P.S. My resolve is too strong and if you think I’m going to stop making videos you’re dead wrong. I will do this until I see change actually happen. Do the most. 😤

🥉 3RD PLACE — 2026 NSC YOUTH CHAMPIONSHIP!
What a weekend for Joey at the NSC Youth Championship Finals!
After qualifying for the Top 10 on Saturday, Joey entered Sunday’s finals ready to battle. A couple of mistakes on the final obstacle of the Hybrid course left him sitting in 7th place, but he didn’t let it define his weekend.
He fought back and absolutely COOKED the Speed course, finishing 2nd with a 25.7-second run, before putting together a solid Burnout run to climb all the way onto the podium and finish 3rd overall! 🥉
So proud of the grit and resilience Joey showed when things didn’t go as planned!
Congratulations to @big.o.ninja and @flyingfireninja and everyone who earned their spot to compete!
Huge thank you to @jsannella.ninja for the coaching and support all weekend and @ninjasportnetwork & @obstacleacademy for putting together an incredible championship weekend!

NSC Youth World Championship weekend in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. Had an unexpected slip on speed day 1 putting me in 15th place. I knew my hybrid run had to be full clear and clean. Was able to get the job done taking 5th on hybrid which landed me top 10. Day 2 I had to go 1st on hybrid, speed & burnout so I knew I had to set a high standard. Was hoping to podium, and I was able to land in the #2 spot against the best ninja athletes from the entire United States. Many thanks to all my coaches @ninjamaniagym for all their support! Excited for my banner to be displayed at the gym for a podium finish at a championship! What a great event & great weekend. @ninjasportnetwork @ryan_strat @rock_solid_elite_team @ninja_digangi @obstacleacademy @rrtanner @ninja_jack1 @ninja_ajay__ @willthethrillninja @e_lache13 @alfio_ninja @the.bussin.ninja @kieran.ninja @jackson.erdos @joey_dose_stuff @tyler.ninja.bowers @jera_boyd @grace_ninja0521 @cc051710

Check out the Mitchell Frie creation. Paying homage to the Great Lakes of Minnesota, the Lake Ninja incorporated these anchors into his training regimen. Great to level up on your hop tech in all the different ways. Plus they just look cool . . . like the waters of Lake Minnetonka. Message us if you’d like to pre-order a set! #ninjawarrior
