Why a ninja?

"Because it's a sport that combines so many components of fitness: strength, movement, thinking, coordination. I'm very competitive and I like to challenge myself in unexpected places. Ninja is the unexpected because you do not know which track you will get. What ninjas like. That is to do the impossible. "
