We've all heard how gymnasts have the strength and coordination to dominate the Ninja Warrior course, and it was proven when former Towson gymnast Kacy Catanzaro made history on the course last season and became the "Mighty Kacy."

Cascade Elite Gymnastics in Washington created a Ninja Warrior course in their gym, featuring many similar obstacles to the real one. Cascade coach James Thompson posted this video, saying it was a great way to let his athletes blow off some steam and have a "mental break moment." 

(function(d, s, id) {  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;  js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.3";  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

We had a ninja warrior challenge day last week. The girls did great and had a blast! I highly recommend making a course in your gym and letting the kids blow off some steam for an hour. It was fun!!

While the course might not be quite as rigorous as the original, Thompson noted it was only a "warm-up" before practice!
