OUR JOURNEY
The idea behind Tension Grips started at a Ninja Warrior event. Jake was amazed at the incredible strength of Malaysian competitors that had travelled to Australia to compete.
Asking them how they managed to hang from such difficult holds, he was told to simply do two hours of hangboarding a day.
With plenty of other things to do and TV shows to watch, Jake set his mind to multitasking and wondered how to train hangboarding more every day.
With a few early attempts, Jake showed his ideas to fellow ninja Kadeem, and after two years of deisgning, they launched Tension Grips in December 2024.
SInce then they have built great partnerships with Sporting bodies like Sport Climbing Victoria, Ninja Challenge League and the Barbados Ninja Throwdown.
