NBC has aired seven international competitions in which the best ninjas of the season compete against teams from around the world, including Japan, Europe, Latin America, Asia, and Australia for the American Ninja Warrior: USA vs. The World trophy. They were usually filmed after the regular season of American Ninja Warrior finishes. The competitors race on the Las Vegas course used in the National Finals of the regular season. All of the international competitions have been hosted by the American variation's hosts and sideline reporters. The current title holders is Australia.
Ten special episodes of the series were aired by NBC, in which the best ninjas overall compete in teams and individually. Team competitions include lineups of five or three athletes picked by the show's hosts running the National Finals stages individually or in relay races, with the winner determined on Stage 4 based on the number of points received or on Stage 3 based on the number of completed obstacles. In individual competitions, contestants try to complete oversized obstacles, increasing in length after each round, and remain in competition when their opponents fail. One of the specials, subtitled "All-Stars Spectacular", ditched team competitions and entirely focused on skills challenges.

Besides the backyard, Behrle began working out in so-called "ninja gyms," gymnastics centers with their own versions of American Ninja Warrior obstacles, often with wrestling mats and foam pits for safety in place of the TV show's swimming pools.
"It turns out northern New Jersey is a hotspot for ninja gyms," Behrle says. "In my first year of high school I couldn't get up the Warped Wall because I was only like 5'1". I would do really well in the competitions until the Warped Wall, and that's when all the adults would pass me. But I knew I was gonna get taller."
"I competed in a teen ninja competition. There are stages to ninja events; I got to stage three and I fell, but no one else finished stage one," he says. It was an epiphany: "It was like, oh, the obstacles I built in my backyard are actually helping me, and I'm actually pretty good at this."
He only got better from there. He began competing with, and now works for, the National Ninja League, an organization that hosts amateur ninja contests for athletes of a variety of ages and skill levels. In 2017, he won the league's national youth division championship.
At age 14, he also hosted his own backyard ninja competition fundraiser for Ninja for a Cure, a nonprofit founded by three-time American Ninja Warrior contestant Henry Ferrarin that raises money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. Behrle has since raised more than $15,000 over four total Ninja for a Cure events.
The Ninja Comes to Lewisburg
When it came time to choose a college, Behrle says he made his decision "without any thoughts of ninja in mind." Like many Bucknellians, he was first drawn to Bucknell's academic reputation, then fell in love with the campus upon visiting.
Today, Behrle still balances homework and ninja training. As he prepared for the show, he alternated weeknights devoted to school work and workouts, with much of his physical prep happening on the climbing wall in Gerhard Fieldhouse, where he has a part-time job. As his classmates and professors learned about what he was doing, Behrle found a supportive community to cheer him on.
"I do not think I will be applying again next year because I don't want to spend my last semester of my senior year focusing on getting my weight right or how many pull-ups I can do. But after that? If I get a job near a ninja gym, I still love the sport and I will totally be going to that ninja gym twice a week or more. And I would definitely consider doing this again in the future."
Our safety certified instructors guide students to progress through each level by testing them on their newest skills as well as building confidence inside and out of the gym. A variety of ninja equipment is used, including cargo nets, rings, a rock wall, and our very own warp wall!
