Benefits of Ninja and Tumbling Classes for 12-18 Year Olds
1. Enhances Strength and Flexibility: Tumbling and ninja classes involve a variety of movements, such as flips, jumps, and holds, which target different muscle groups. This improves overall strength, flexibility, and endurance, creating a solid foundation for better athletic performance in other sports and physical activities.
2. Develops Advanced Coordination: At this age, students begin refining their ability to combine balance, precision, and timing. Tumbling and ninja exercises, like executing flips or navigating obstacle courses, challenge their coordination and help improve their overall motor skills, which can enhance performance in a range of activities, from athletics to dance.
​
3. Boosts Confidence: Successfully mastering difficult tricks or completing an obstacle course gives students a huge sense of accomplishment. This boosts their confidence not just in their physical abilities but also in their capacity to tackle challenges, which positively impacts their approach to other aspects of life, such as academics and social situations.
4. Fosters Goal Setting and Discipline: As students progress to more advanced techniques, they are required to set clear goals and follow a structured training routine. The process of working toward mastery teaches persistence, discipline, and the importance of consistent effort, all of which are valuable skills for achieving success in various life areas.
5. Encourages Teamwork and Leadership: Tumbling and ninja classes often require group collaboration, whether it's working through a routine or helping each other with techniques. This fosters teamwork and communication. Older students may also take on leadership roles, guiding younger students, which builds their responsibility, leadership, and interpersonal skills.
