Corporate History
NINJA TRIX FRANCHISING, LLC was formed on March 1, 2023, in Florida, and its sole business since then has been selling NINJA TRIX franchises and providing related services, with franchising beginning in 2023. The brand's intellectual property is owned by its affiliate, Martial Arts America, Inc. (MAA Inc.), which was established in 2002 and has operated martial arts schools and a gymnastics club in Florida. In 2017, MAA Inc. started offering the NINJA TRIX curriculum within some of its martial arts schools. Another affiliate, Ninja Trix, LLC (NT LLC), formed in 2018, previously offered a curriculum license program to existing martial arts schools, but now only franchises are offered. NT LLC opened a NINJA TRIX Studio, representative of the current franchise model, in October 2022. NTFL ENTERPRISES LLC, formed in 2022, serves as an affiliate that sells initial inventory and supplies to franchisees.

To renew, NINJA TRIX franchisees must be in good standing and provide written notice of their intent to renew between six and nine months before their initial or renewal term expires.

Territory Size Requirements
NINJA TRIX typically defines its protected territories as the lesser of a three-mile radius from the studio or an area encompassing 50,000 people, based on the latest U.S. Census data. Territory boundaries are usually described by Zip codes but can also be defined by other geographical markers like city or county boundaries, natural features, highways, and roads. The franchisor reserves the right to adjust the population or radius based on local market conditions, and in densely populated major metropolitan areas, a protected territory might not be granted.
Staffing Notes
NINJA TRIX requires an Operating Principal, who must be an owner of at least 10% of the franchise, to personally supervise on-site operations full-time, devoting best efforts to management and supervision. This includes overseeing service standards, environmental safety, sanitation, product quality, and employee supervision, with the Operating Principal or an assistant manager present during all business hours. Franchisees must also hire at least one Lead Instructor who has successfully completed the initial training program. All personnel, including the Operating Principal and Lead Instructor, must maintain professional standards, wear approved uniforms, and pass a national background check. The franchisee is solely responsible for all employment matters, including recruitment, hiring, wages, benefits, schedules, discipline, and complying with all applicable labor laws.
