The Full Story
High Flight Ninja Heraldry
Welcome to the soul of High Flight Ninja—where every movement, every challenge, and every triumph is rooted in purpose. Inspired by faith, military service, and the transformative power of Ninja Warrior training, our heraldry is more than tradition—it’s our compass.
Why Heraldry?
Just as military units use heraldry to build identity and cohesion, we’ve created ours to unite our athletes, families, and community. It’s a visual and philosophical foundation that reminds us who we are and what we stand for.
"Teach children how they should live, and they will remember it all their life." Proverbs 22:6 (GNT)
Our Motto
Rise Above Your Limits
A rallying cry for resilience. Whether you're facing an obstacle course or life’s hurdles, this motto reminds us to break free from boundaries and discover our true potential.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air ....
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew—
And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
Our Name
High Flight Ninja
Our name honors the U.S. Air Force and the 1941 sonnet High Flight by John Gillespie Magee Jr. His vivid descriptions of soaring and wheeling through the sky mirror the agility and grace we strive for on the course.
Our Colors
Our colors—blue-grey, sunset orange, and white—aren't just a random choice; they're inspired by our time in the Air Force and symbology of the Firebird.
Blue-grey : The sky’s edge—limitless possibilities
White : Clouds—obstacles that vanish with courage
Sunset Orange : Endings, transitions, and new beginnings
