It was so nice to see the kids being supportive to people they presumably just met. Compared to other spaces where it’s just full of toxicity and competition, it’s refreshing to see people actually lift up others who are new to the sport.
@@jangdi. oh I didn’t mean in ninja warrior or parkour. I’m not too sure about what it’s like in those sports.

@@Linkolite Uh I've been to places like the one in the video where things can get pretty toxic when it comes to people. Stop with the false narrative that the internet doesn't reflect real life.
The obstacles favor rock climbers, lots of pulling, using back muscles and grip while slim. I want to see Ninja Warior change it up a little with more all rounder obstacles, more pushing, dead lifts, legs and flexibility. The Japanese version purposely did this so you get so tired that no one wins. I grew up watching older japanese shows like this and it's just common that no one wins. But also being in the america for the other half of my life, it was strange and a big let down when participants didn't win, for multiple years straight, but they kept making the course harder.
The original japanese Ninja Warrior was the best When I got older, I was surprised to see people talk about the American spin-off like it was the only one
@@DarkDoughnutsVidsyeah japanese wasnt so strenght focus, and didnt had so many "impossible" courses, it was more about agility and speed. It was more enjoyable, but i thik they are very distinct, nowadays ninja warrior is almost about who can finish the whole course instead of who cna do it faster
It's amazing how easy it looks until you do it. I walked in at my local place thinking it would be easy but little things like grips and handhold on certain obstacles humbled me real quick. This video brought back fun memories. Thanks for recording it.
@@hectormejia5090 so I went with a colleague who is amazing at bouldering and he struggled a lot just as much as I did. But he does indoor bouldering tho. So I don't know if you do outdoor rock climbing, I don't know if you have a greater advantage. I dunno how it works lol. Pls report back tho 😊
@@hectormejia5090 The grip strengths aspects of the course, you will have no issues, but the explosive aspects of this course is what will drain your energy
I don't know why, but I thought that this was just you and your gymnast buddies just goofing. Imagine my surprise when you said Asher was 6th best in the world, not in your gym, or even in your country, but the world?! 🤯
Yes, he competed at the world championships in Liverpool this year and placed 6th in the indivual all around. Another American gymnast, Brody Malone placed fourth.
These would've been like all 3rd stage obstacles in the original Japanese Sasuke program. What made the 3rd stage difficult was having these grip challenges one after another. You have to train specifically for that, and maybe the sport with the best carry-over for these is rock climbing.
@@jar5498 as the previous commenter said, if all of the obstacles were these ones related to grip strength, it would be difficult regardless of the actually obstacle difficulty
I used to work at a trampoline park with a mini ninja course. The upper body strength seemed to be key for every user. It's all arms and grip strength. I enjoyed was the body builders fall first try while smaller people like the kids made it across.
@@nemiw4429 It's relative. Their body weight is to them roughly what ours is to us. To us, they weigh nothing and we think that's how they perceive it, but I doubt it.
@@HickoryDickory86 light weight humans/animals have an advantage, because gravity has a less effect on lower weight. Also muscle relative to mass gets stronger, the lower weight something is.
I've just read in wikipedia that Asher is 1 day older than me and he is 6th best gymnast in the world. Not state, country but world. How hardworking people they are.
You guys are insanely talented and incredibly skilled. I am inspired by many different gymnasts with their ability and dedication to their sport. Thank you guys for sharing your journey with us and helping inspire us to continue to grown and improve.
I actually do Ninja warrior as my Sport/Hobby and you do need good grip strength but most of the obstacles in this video aren’t super advanced obstacles
Gymnasts are incredibly strong. If you paired that strength with the coordination and grip strength of a climber, nearly all ninja obstacles would be easy.
What I tend to find in movement is that people who specialise become comfortable in their linear field, some can adapt really well and be all round movers... but most of the time they tend to be soo strong within a set of limits. Like using a certain piece of apparatus, and if that apparatus changed in any way it completely changes what they're able to do, it can be seen in boxers too, simply by removing the gloves they can be beaten by guys no where near their level simply because they've spent 15 years doing it with gloves and are soo refined that any change disrupts their ability. Artem Lobov a 7 win 15 loss mma fighter beats Paulie Malignaggi in bare knuckle when Paulie is 30 fight wins multiple time World champion, simply because he doesn't have gloves now. What I always loved about ninja warrior was it forced people to adapt, they couldnt really specialise they just had to be amazing everywhere, Jack of all trades master of none.
I was thinking about how much more developed these guys' upper bodies were than their legs. Then, I realized that it's mostly about moving yourself with your arms and legs muscles would just be more weight to move.
It would probably be a bit easier if the obstacles would have been higher, so you wouldn't have to hold your body so close and could let your legs free.
I was thinking about how this would have been so much easier as a child. Less weight to carry around, but also not having to lift yourself up to not touch the ground. Being able to relax and swing freely would have made it so much less difficult.
It's all tough I can't lie, it definitely takes a few tries to get the technique on some obstacles. But the salmon ladder is way beyond, it is so hard dude lol
That one would have gotten me, too. Thinking back to my days as a kid and imagining what I would have done, I probably would have flipped myself up onto the bar and then climbed the bits that the bar was supposed to go on. That probably would have gotten me disqualified. But I probably would have done it that way quickly realizing that I couldn't do it as planned so improvising would have been necessary to get the job done.
It definitely doesn't look easy, good job. Fun video. Also I have been binging your shorts and i missed seeing a few guys like koai and Riley, not sure if I got the names but I am curious how they would do on this too. Thanks Ian 🖖
A little practice and experimentation would make the swinging rope-style events a dozen times easier. With the inclined ring climb, practice will let you go upward (the first half) quite quickly if you go backwards, and then turn and go down forwards. With your arboreal strength, you'll be able to do it at walking speed.
These are actually hard. For me, it was my grip strength in my fingers that was my weakness. I couldn't last the course because my fingers are "weak crybabies" (in Arnold's voice) and must be broken and made into iron tentacles.
This looks like so much fun! I would have loved something like this when I was young. I didn't have a gymnastics gym. And I was never 6th best anything in the world. But I had trees to climb and ropes and clothesline poles to swing from and climb. I would have loved to have tried something like this. I think being kid sized would have helped.
I genuinely thought that would be easy for a gymnast. As in, sure, difficult to learn the skills and fluidity, but not THAT physically demanding. Quite surprising to see it was tiresome.
Gymnastics isn't actually the best crossover for this course, since it's so grip-stength-dependent. Gymnastics just doesn't work the grip strength intensively compared to rock climbing or aerial! (Though I suppose, for men's gymnastics, the rings do work it somewhat--for women's there's really nothing grip-intensive at all).
That the kids are being supportive and cheering you on is so wholesome

They may not have done it but you see how well they do on their first try. It shows how well gymnastics can transfer
Aw, the kids watching are adorable
I coach and train at a ninja gym. It is definitely a humbling sport, haha. Awesome job to all of you!
If these gymnasts with their strength, flexibility, and balance can’t do it in one go then I with noodle arms won’t make it past the first obstacle.
I've just read in wikipedia that Asher is 1 day older than me and he is 6th best gymnast in the world. Not state, country but world.
How hardworking people they are.
This looks like torture for your forearms
dude it is, its hard to hold your water bottle after a run, and this is only like an 8 obstical course ive done 14-16 obstical courses

So Ninja Warriors must have some off the charts hand and grip strength
I actually do Ninja warrior as my Sport/Hobby and you do need good grip strength but most of the obstacles in this video aren’t super advanced obstacles

As a kid I used to fantasize this
The fact that I see your successes and fails make this a great video.
I love the kids cheering him on
Ive always wanted to see gymnasts try this. Yep. Yall took to it like a duck to water
I love how you guys are having so much fun. I would love to do an obstacle course someday
I loved all the “yuh”’s from ian
I was thinking about how much more developed these guys' upper bodies were than their legs. Then, I realized that it's mostly about moving yourself with your arms and legs muscles would just be more weight to move.
JR got the best back muscles
Even a great gymnast like them struggles, shows how good the NINJA WARRIORS PARTICIPANTS handle it with speed and precision😤
I could do it with my feet tied behind my toes

I'm a highly athletic person and I can tell you this would be extremely difficult.
I do this sport! It’s always great when gymnasts come in and say hi!

Rock climbers: allow me to introduce myself
I was holding my breath watching JR do his turn and boy it was so close.
dude i love asher
Im just happy to see you shirtless

That guys ripped
NO WAY I WAS JUST THINKING OF HIM DOING THIS VID YESTERDAY AND IT POPS UP! I DO THIS SPORT IRL TOO
The fall at the beginning should count for Asher, he had already touched the apparatus. So it was 4 falls not 3!
Thats looks like so much fun!
Aye that’s my gym!
This looks as hard as it is. Tried this once and got sore for a week. I'll stick to boxing haha.
Those skinny little 8 years olds humbled y’all real quick😭😭
Now you guys need to try and find a Wipe Out course!
Daaammnnnn, nice job guys! Where is JR'S channel?? And where my boy Khoi at?
Just video just made me realize ninja warrior is the most advanced game of the floor is lava.
Not that one kid in the background screaming, “WE DON’T TALK ABOUT BRUNO, NO NO NOOOOOOOOOO!”
It’s at like 3:50 btw
4:20 damn perfect reps of Crossfittin' Ups
Amreican Ninja warrior is basically only winnable if you’re a gymnast or a climber
This is why rock climbers always win these

Rock climbers are probably the best suited for this. Forearm and grip strength all day. Maybe arm wrestlers 2nd.
I wouldn’t be able to do any of this probably lol but it looks fun and I’d like to try it!

Like playing a platformer in real life... They should try placing this over water...
🧠, superb watching you all trying this course amazing 💪👊⚡️
This is harder than any American ninja warrior course I've seen
Is there a video of someone flawlessly clearing all of them?
