This action series was a competition where nine modern-day warriors faced a 24-day survival challenge inspired by ancient Ninja laws. Set in the harsh wilderness of the Pacific Northwest, the participants, including martial arts experts, a UFC fighter, and military veterans, endured extreme conditions such as icy glaciers, raging rivers, and frigid swamps. They had to complete a series of demanding missions based on the Kuji principles of the Ninja, testing their physical stamina, mental resilience, and willpower. The challenge culminated in a final lesson from Jinichi Kawakami, the last known Ninja, in Iga City, Japan, where the most resilient warriors proved their endurance.
The show was a competition that premiered on August 5, 2018, and was broadcast on Discovery. It was a one-season series consisting of eight episodes, each lasting approximately 60 minutes. The participants faced limited food and water, sleep deprivation, and intense physical challenges designed to push them to their limits. The series showcased their efforts to survive and succeed in a test of true endurance, inspired by the ancient warrior traditions of the Ninja.
