Dave Ravi
Dave founded Ninja Academy in 2015, and birthed the sport of “Ninja” in Australia, hosting the first competitions in the country. He still hosts some of the biggest events at Ninja Academy, including the Ninja World Cup, and hosts for other national and international leagues.
Dave has a lot of experience competing in Ninja Warrior events around the world:
- – Australian Ninja Warrior Semi-Finalist x2
- – Sasuke Vietnam Finalist x2
- – Ninja Challenge League Finalst x5
- – World Ninja League Finalist x2
- – American Ninja Warrior course tester
- – Velocity Urban Attack Finalist (Singapore)
- – Ninja World Cup Finalist (Australia)
Not only is Dave a fierce competitor, he was also the first Ninja Warrior coach in Australia, teaching hundreds (thousands?) of people how to get started, as well as coaching some of the best Ninjas in the country. Dave has a lot of experience coaching young Ninjas too, working regularly with kids aged 6+ on how to become awesome Ninjas, as well as build valuable life skills.
Dave has a big heart for kids, and has helped bring to life the 24hr Pull Up Challenge – a charity event where people complete as many pull ups as possible in 24hrs and raise funds to support Destiny Rescue in their incredible work freeing children and women from sex trafficking around the world. In 2022, Dave personally completed 4,030 pull ups in 24hrs, and collectively we raised $10,000 for charity. The challenge is back in 2023, and he is aiming to repeat the 4,000+ pull ups again this year.
