5 Years ago, we began construction to turn what was a bootcamp, into what is now well-known as The Warrior Factory Hamilton.
4 years ago, we hosted 50 athletes from just 4 Ninja gyms at our very first Ninja Competition. At that time, we weren't associated with any ninja leagues, and were one of only a handful of ninja gyms around. It really felt like the beginning of something new.
Fast forward, our competitions now host nearly 30 different gyms across both Canada and USA. Between more gyms opening, some current Ninjas not even being old enough to compete back then, and the earning reputation that "The Warrior Factory Hamilton puts together amazing competitions", we have seen a huge boom in our competitions across multiple Ninja Leagues.
We were chosen by the biggest Ninja League in Canada to host and represent their 2025 Eastern Final Championships where we hosted almost 300 competitors!
We can't help but to reflect when it was just 50 competitors.
Sure, Ninja gyms are businesses, but Ninja is much more than quarterly projections, profit margins, and numbers. Ninja is a community.
From the Coaches that dedicate and sacrifice entire evenings and weekends to help train their athletes.
The parents that travel across cities, provinces and countries to bring their child to the sport they love.
The volunteers who sacrifice their time to help gyms put on great comps.
The athletes that are bringing this sport to life.
The Ninja Gym owners that love Ninja so darn much that they are willing to put their life-savings on the line to provide a space for all of this to even exist...
WE THANK YOU!!
