Mini-Ninja’s Training 2026
Are your kiddos ready to transform into a Mini-Ninja? On June 26th, join us for a fun, active, and engaging 1-hour workshop that combines physical skills, safety awareness, and confidence-building in a ninja-themed environment for kids aged 5-12 years old.
5:00 – 5:10 PM | Welcome & Warm-Up
- Greet attendees and explain the event.
- Quick group warm-up: jumping jacks, arm circles, stretches.

5:10 – 5:20 PM | Stealth & Agility Drills

- Emphasize quiet movement and body control.

5:20 – 5:30 PM | Situational Awareness Game
- “Ninja Freeze”: Instructor moves around; kids follow stealthily and freeze when the instructor turns around.
- Discuss the importance of observing surroundings.

5:30 – 5:45 PM | Basic Self-Defense & Movement
- Demonstrate simple, safe moves: breakaway from wrist grab, balance techniques.
- Practice how to use voice and body posture to show confidence (“Ninja Power Stance”).
