WE HIRED NINJAS TO ATTACK US!

Kicking things off, it's 9-year-old Electric Ninja Enoch Jones, a cross-country runner from Knoxville, Tennessee. He never leaves home without his stuffed dog, Zeus. Yeah, that's a support animal you can bring anywhere. Enoch will be going up against the third member of the Myler Clan, 9-year-old Paxton out of Harriman, Utah. You might remember his twin sister, Peyton, who already secured her spot in the 9 and 10 semis, and his brother, Brighton, who competed earlier in the 13 and 14 age group. Wow, how many Mylers are there? There's actually one more, his brother Ashton, who's running later today for the 11 and 12-year-olds. While Paxton and Enoch may not be siblings, but they're the same age, same height, and same weight. And while Paxton trains with his family, Enoch trains in an advanced ninja class and competes against 13-year-olds. This is gonna be good. Boop, boop, boop. All right, ooh, fast upper, Paxton. And caught Enoch completely asleep at the wheel, but Enoch's already closed the gap. Both flawless coming off TikTok. These two matching each other, move for move. Tremendous upper body strength here on the I-Beam. Wow. Ooh. Enoch takes the lead for the first time. And, Matt, let me tell you something. He's got some ability. Look at that. Well, he caught himself there on the I-Beam, and he's pulling away. Oh, but, Matt, he's hesitating. Paxton's back in it. A good bounce. It's a dead heave right now. Well, Matt, something's gonna give. You got to make that commitment. You can see him going. And the Electric Ninja makes the first move even again. Boom. Enoch down, and Paxton with the one-finger save. And he does it. The Electric Ninja, a little shocked, but okay. And Paxton delivers, going for the Warped Wall. Nice, Mike. He's got it. Well, credit to him. Enoch pushed him, but in the end, it's Myler who makes the buzzer. Feeling like a ninja kid? Well, there he goes. Paxton Myler. A great race out of Enoch, just not enough. Myler takes the win, standing by with Lauren. Congratulations on your win. My goodness, you had a fingertip save on the Spin Cycle. Tell me, what were you thinking about? Well, one of my hands, only my finger was on, and I fully caught it. Failed to slam that buzzer. It felt nice. Thanks, Lori. Now let's head right back to the start line. This is the moment you've been waiting for, right? And there's Barclay Stockett with our next two competitors. She's one of the All-Star Ninja Mentors back today to help these young athletes crush the course. And also joining Barclay today are Najee Richardson and Kevin Bull. You guys are pretty special, and this is a pretty special experience, all right? Hop fast, all right? Let's go. Always love the positivity out of Barclay. And up next, we have 9-year-old Michael Baeza, a gymnast representing Northridge, California. And there's his personal coach, ninja-grade Flip Rodriguez. He's squaring off against 9-year-old Grace Poole from Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Grace recently came in first place in her very first local ninja competition, and she's always climbing to new heights. Let's go, Grace. My two favorite sports are rock climbing or ninja. I like rock climbing because you find this route that you really want to do. Yeah, Grace, come on. And you keep on working on it. Good job. Awesome. When you complete it, it gives me pride that I know that I can do bigger things. My favorite thing about rock climbing is canvassing. Canvassing is climbing, but only using your hands. When you're canvassing, you have to push off with your lower hand and pull up with your upper hand. There you go. It just takes a lot of practice, and it takes a lot of strength. I may be small, but I'm mighty. Good job. Her shirt says it all at 4 feet and only 50 pounds. Grace is definitely small but mighty. Yeah, that's right. But Michael has a mighty resume himself. He's the 2018 California State Champion in gymnastics, and he's ranked number one for his age group in the region. Here we go. Michael Baeza takes the early lead, but Grace right on his heels. There you go. Grace missed her jump. That's going to cost her some time. And Michael looking to add more separation on the I-Beam. All right, here comes Grace with that second swing. Oh! Oh, no! Grace falls in the pool, so that means Michael automatically gets the win. But there she is with the thumbs up, and as Michael continues, let's take a look at what happened to Grace. When Grace came back for her second swing, her left foot slipped as she tried to jump, and she didn't get the push-off that she needed, sending her into H2O. Michael Baeza's making his way to the Warped Wall, and look at his coach, Flip Rodriguez, cheering him on. One of his tadpoles. He's growing up big. He's got a little bit of that Flip Rodriguez in him. Bam! And he solidifies his win with a tap on the buzzer. And you got him to bust a move. Ooh, just hit a backflip. Now I see why Flip has the shades on, because your future's bright. Great job. Catch American Ninja Warrior Jr. Saturdays at 7 on Universal Kids.
