How a Santa Maria Ninja Gym Helps Kids Stay Active & Confident
Local owners Djibril and RaShawna Coulibaly are empowering area youth through structured ninja training that adapts to every child's unique fitness level.

USA Ninja Challenge, the leading kids’ Ninja gym franchise, brings a fun, safe place for children to train in Santa Maria, California. Opened in December 2025 by local couple RaShawna and Djibril Coulibaly, the gym provides cargo nets, ropes and rings for exploration and plenty of safety padding for peace of mind.
The location is open to kids aged 4 to 17, offering hour-long classes with a maximum student-to-teacher ratio of 8-to-1. When recruiting coaches, the pair focuses specifically on those who have a passion for working with children, Djibril told the Santa Maria Sun.
With backgrounds in soccer coaching and music education, the couple finds satisfaction in seeing kids grow, both athletically and in their confidence.
“It’s just a joy to see them conquer something and figure things out on their own,” RaShawna said.
USA Ninja Challenge includes multiple categories of movements in each class, each of which can be modified to meet the current needs and abilities of each student. As the kids progress through the obstacles at each level, they move up, all the way through graduation.
“This is open to absolutely everybody,” Djibril said. “What we are trained to do, and what we train our instructors to do, is to really meet the kids wherever they are and try to help them progress from there.”
