Inside look at Ninja Nation Austin Texas

Tatiana is a native Texan, and long time Austin resident. After working in film production she returned to school, earning her MBA at University of Texas. She went on to found and continues to lead real estate investment firm TAJ Holdings. In 2012 she became a director of the L’Aiglon Foundation, a private charitable trust that supports a number of non-profits in Texas and beyond with a special interest in education, creative arts, land conservation and development of human capital. 


Atlas is a native Texan from El Paso but has called Austin home for over a decade. He is a musician and producer, as well as the founder of the Austin indie record label Sky Titan Media, which specializes in supporting independent musicians through “Music Infused Clothing”. 


His original ninja warrior submission tapes (for Sasuke in Japan) were featured several times on G4’s website before his invitation to the newly formed American Ninja Warrior in 2012.


They welcomed son Evander in June of 2022 and are excited for him to grow up within the fun and supportive community they are striving to build with Ninja Nation ATX. 


Why Ninja Nation?

I’m a big believer in giving people, kids especially, opportunities to reach beyond their comfort zone and discover that they are capable of more than they thought. It’s so empowering! Ninja Nation is a place to safely fail up, fall down, learn, get back up and try again.

Growing up, I played in several traditional sports, but never really felt like my heart was in it. I was a nerdy kid (still kind of am) and was into video games, kung fu movies and superheroes. When we found ninja nation, we were so excited to be able to bring this arena to a community of people who may never have felt like traditional sports were for them. I personally am looking forward to people pushing their limits and gaining a huge sense of accomplishment and confidence training here.
