Can you prove yourself a Ninja Master by battling through a field of determined warriors? This contest will require equal parts strength, cunning, quickness, and prowess. The last ninja left standing will be able to tread upon the shattered corpses of their fallen foes to claim their prize! In each of the five rounds, ninjas will have to battle one opponent to see if they can advance to the next.

• Round #1: Foam Long Swords.
• Round #2: Foam Short Swords.
• Round #3: Sumo Wrestling.
• Round #4: Martial Arts (light contact to the torso only, with protective gear).
• Round #5: Three vs. One Battle (try to last the longest against three ninjas using pugil sticks).

Ninja referees will oversee the bouts, with all rounds (except the last) being best out of five. In the end, there can be only one…could it be you?
