American Ninja Warrior or Ninja Warrior (Sasuke) is the world’s most difficult obstacle course. Originating in Japan, the obstacle course consists of four grueling stages that test every physical athletic ability such as grip strength, balance, speed, agility, lower body strength, upper body strength, and hand-eye coordination.
Parkour is an art of movement, a creative expression of one’s self. Parkour is all about overcoming obstacles - not just physical obstacles such as a wall or handrail - but mental and emotional obstacles as well. Parkour is all about getting from point A to B in the most efficient way possible. It encompasses many different movements such as vaulting, jumping, climbing, and flipping. Movements from other disciplines such as gymnastics, break dancing, and martial arts have also been integrated into Parkour.
World Chase Tag® is an exciting sport that blends the agility and creativity of Parkour with the competitive spirit of Ninja Warrior. Founded in 2012, World Chase Tag transformed the simple game of tag into a global competitive sport. With its focus on speed, strategy, and teamwork, World Chase Tag offers a unique and exhilarating challenge that continues to captivate participants and audiences alike. At Dexterity Depot, we have a quad built to the national regulations so teams from all over the East Coast (and US!) can come to train.
Although all our classes are about overcoming obstacles, each is very different in terms of skill needs, execution, and philosophy. Despite their differences, they do share some of the same movements, and there are great ways to cross train. For example, many Parkour movements are used in Ninja obstacles and obstacle courses like a wall run and the warped wall.
