I Tried to Train for American Ninja Warrior - Washingtonian
Briefly

Participants in American Ninja Warrior must master extreme athletic skills, including swinging, leaping, and scaling obstacles like a 14-foot wall. Training at a ninja gym exposes challengers to these demands, often revealing gaps in their strength and technique. Initial attempts can be frustrating, as each obstacle requires a unique combination of coordination, grip strength, and core engagement. This experience highlights the difficulty of competing in the actual competition, where added pressure amplifies challenges, making it clear that successful participants have exceptional physical capabilities and mental resilience.
On American Ninja Warrior, participants race Tarzan-like between obstacles, swinging from ropes and traversing spinning logs and scaling a 14-foot sloped wall. It's extraordinarily athletic.
Baron explained that to reach the next obstacle, I needed to use my core and legs to swing my body. I tried, but struggled to maintain my grip.
