May is National Pet Month (as if we didn’t devote all the other months to our pets already) and it’s time to shower your fluffy, soft, bundle of love with all the gifts (and honestly, essentials) they would really appreciate! Because think about it; our pets do way more for us than we do for them.
<p dir="ltr">Does your kid want to be a ninja warrior? New York City Ninja Academy and Brooklyn Ninja Academy offer unique and fun after school and weekend classes for kids, as well as summer clinics. All skill levels are welcome. Try your skills on fun and challenging ninja warrior obstacles!</p> <p dir="ltr">&bull; After school and weekend classes&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">&bull; Summer programs&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">&bull; Birthday parties and private events</p> <p dir="ltr">&bull; Celebrity ninja appearances and training opportunities</p> <p dir="ltr">&bull; New, clean, sanitary, safe</p> <p dir="ltr">&bull; Convenient Midtown Manhattan or Park Slope locations</p> <p dir="ltr">&bull; Adult training for all levels also available</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">Every kid wants to be a ninja warrior, just like on NBC&rsquo;s popular television show, American Ninja Warrior. Besides being the most fun that kids can have exercising, the Ninja Academy promotes discipline, focus, and behavioral development. Ninja training is for any skill level, and fosters kids&rsquo; growth and improvement, while they&rsquo;re having the time of their lives.&nbsp;</p> <p dir="ltr">A 10-week progressive program teaches participants how to overcome ninja warrior obstacles by analyzing, approaching, and conquering obstacles, mimicking the movement and strategy of those on the show. Ninjas learn new skills and techniques for climbing, swinging, agility, balance, and strength. Kids gain confidence as they master each obstacle, increase their skill level, and become ready to take on the next progression. There is no better feeling than the ultimate thrill of hitting the buzzer at the end of a course, complete with exciting sound effects and lights!</p> <p dir="ltr">Birthday parties, private lessons, special events, team-building and small group training is also available.</p>
