How To Sign Up For American Ninja Warrior

So, You Wanna Be a Ninja, Huh?

Ever watch American Ninja Warrior and think, "Hey, I could do that… maybe after a few more pizzas?" You're not alone! The siren song of warped walls and salmon ladders calls to us all.

But turning that dream into reality isn't as simple as just showing up with your best ninja headband. There's a whole process, a secret handshake (not really, but wouldn't that be cool?), to getting on the show.

Step 1: The Almighty Application

First, you gotta throw your hat – or rather, your bio – into the ring. The application is your chance to shine, to show them you're not just another gym rat, but a ninja warrior in the making.

Think of it as your superhero origin story. Don't just say you're athletic; tell them about the time you outran a squirrel for the last donut or rescued a kitten from a tree while doing a handstand. Okay, maybe tone down the exaggeration… slightly.

Lights, Camera, Action (and a Whole Lot of Video)

This ain't just about words; they want to see you in action. Time to break out the camera and show off your skills. Can you climb a rope faster than a caffeinated monkey? Do you have the balance of a zen master on a tightrope?

Record it all! But remember, quality matters. A shaky video of you struggling to do a pull-up in your dimly lit basement might not scream "TV star." Get some good lighting, a stable camera, and maybe a friend to cheer you on (or at least hold the camera steady!).

Be…Interesting!

Look, everyone who applies is probably in decent shape. What makes you stand out? Do you have a heartwarming story? Are you a quirky character with a unique profession? Are you a ninjawarrior fanatic?

The producers are looking for more than just athletic prowess; they want people the audience will connect with. Maybe you're a teacher who inspires kids, a firefighter who saves lives, or a grandma who knits sweaters while doing pull-ups. (Okay, maybe not that last one, but you get the idea.)

Patience, Young Padawan

You've submitted your application, you've poured your heart and soul into your video, and now… you wait. This can be the hardest part. Remember, thousands apply, and only a lucky few get the call. Don't be discouraged if you don't hear back right away.

Use the time to train harder, refine your skills, and perfect your ninja yell. And who knows, maybe next year will be your year to conquer Mount Midoriyama.

The Call (Maybe!)

Imagine: you're just going about your day, maybe rescuing another kitten or outrunning another squirrel, and your phone rings. It's a producer from American Ninja Warrior. They want you on the show!

Try to contain your excitement (easier said than done!). This is your moment. Time to pack your bags, practice your dismounts, and prepare to become a ninja legend.

Final Thoughts: Just Have Fun!

Getting on American Ninja Warrior is a long shot, but the process itself can be a blast. Use it as an excuse to get in shape, challenge yourself, and maybe even discover a hidden talent.

And remember, whether you make it to the show or not, you can still call yourself a ninja warrior at heart. Because let's face it, who doesn't want to be a ninja?

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." - Martin Luther King, Jr. (Okay, maybe a little dramatic, but you get the idea.)
