The 16,000-square-foot sports & entertainment complex located at 6500 N Lamar Blvd, is set to open in the Spring of 2023.

The Austin location is owned by the dynamic duo of Atlas Cage and Tatiana Jitkoff. “We are so excited about the positive impact it will have on the people, especially the kids, that will be coming to play. Creating a place where people can explore challenges and push themselves in a supportive, fun community environment is exactly the kind of energy we want to bring to our hometown,” said Jitkoff, a long-time Austin native who works in real estate and is active in many area non-profits.
“The Ninja platform is an amazing way to introduce sport, movement, and determination. It is the perfect way to engage kids, teens, and adults alike, get them active, build community and have fun,” said Cage, a former competitor on NBC’s American Ninja Warrior and owner of indie record label Sky Titan Media.
