"We keep making the course harder, and [the Ninjas] keep getting better. They keep training, and it's like the never-ending quest for us to push the limit," executive producer Arthur Smith told Deadline in 2023. "They started with building courses in the backyard, that was reasonably early in the run. Now there's Ninja gyms everywhere and then to Coaches and then to trainers. Now we have kids who say, 'I'm not going to play soccer. I'm doing Ninja.'"
