Have you ever watched an episode of American Ninja Warrior and thought something along the lines of: “I’m pretty sure I could beat these guys if I ever had a chance to get on the show”?
Yeah, us neither.
But for those who have indeed had these thoughts, Cape Town has something for you: Africa’s largest supervised indoor activity and fitness venue, Total Ninja. An Obstacle and Inflatable Park inspired by the global phenomenon TV series Ninja Warrior.
It’s the perfect opportunity to see if you really have what it takes.
For those unfamiliar with the popular TV game show series, watch this exclusive video of America’s beloved electronic music producer and DJ, Marshmello, dominating stage one at the show’s 2018 Las Vegas National Finals:
The action-packed game show series follows competitors as they tackle a series of extreme obstacle courses in both qualifying rounds and finals across the country. Successful competitors from each designated city move on to the national finals round in Las Vegas, where they face an adrenaline-pumping four-stage course modelled after the infamous Mount Midoriyama course in Japan. The ultimate winner takes home a grand prize of $1 million.

So if you think you have what it takes, make your way to Total Ninja in Observatory. Grab your friends, family and kids too because they offer fun activities for people of all ages.
From their Mini Ninjas course for children under the age of five to enjoy an exciting ninja experience in a completely safe way; or their Total Ninjas course for children above the age of five and adults of all ages to enjoy fun-packed ninja challenges of varying difficulties; and finally to their Ninja Masters course for adults aged 16 and above to test their strength and agility while having a ball of a time.
