Not long after building his own obstacle course in his backyard, Banura’s children encouraged him to become a Ninja Warrior. Now, with his kids as his main motivation, he strives to complete the final stage and become the next American Ninja Warrior.

‘American Ninja Warrior’ enjoyed an unbelievable eighth season, which saw its first ever $1 million grand prize winner when Isaac Caldiero conquered Stage 4 of Mt. Midoriyama in 26.14 seconds. This season hundreds of competitors will test their skills and see if they can make history and join Caldiero as just the second person ever to win the $1 million grand prize. New obstacles and several new cities await in the continuing quest for physical excellence.
