Welcome to the Miyagi Gymnastics Academy Web site. Our goal is to provide you with useful information about our company that we hope makes it easier for you to do business with us.

Miyagi Gymnastics Academy makes gymnastics fun and rewarding for students of all ages. We have been a part of the Auburn community for 25 years, and offer a safe and comfortable environment to allow children to grow and explore their potential.

Noboru Miyagi is a four-time All-American gymnast who founded the Miyagi Gymnastics Academy in 1978. In 1984, the gym was moved to its current location in Auburn, California just off of Highway 49 and Bell Road. The facility offers 10,000 square feet of the most modern gymnastics equipment offered including a 48 foot tumble trampoline and a 500 square foot foam-block pit.

Miyagi Gymnastics offers programs for boys and girls ages 18 months and up. Advanced gymnasts have the opportunity to compete starting at the local level and advancing to the international level where we are nationally recognized.

FROM HANDSPRINGS TO SUCCESS-

After over 30 years of research and hands-on experience, weve learned that teaching motor skills is the most effective way to build the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual skills of children. Much like learning a language, the earlier you start, the easier it is. And the more you stay with it, the more successful you are.

At Miyagi Gymnastics, we teach fundamental motor skills in a progressive way, so you child learns at an age-appropriate pace, laying the foundation for a lifetime of success. Best of all, your child will take what they learneverything from coordination and strength to confidence and independence—far beyond the gym walls. Into you home. Onto the playground and playing field, into the classroom and into LIFE.

DREAM BIG!

NOBORU MIYAGI: FOUNDER OF MIYAGI GYMNASTICS ACADEMY

Born in 1948 in Okinawa, Japan, Mr. Miyagi grew up on the small island until he moved to southern California to make a different life for himself.

Miyagi made this new life starting at California State College at Northridge. He got a scholarship doing gymnastics after much hard work. He became a Four-Time All American gymnast in the NCAA. After he graduated from Northridge, Mr. Miyagi decided to stay in the gymnastics world. He worked for USC coaching the gymnastics team and coaching at multiple other gyms in the Los Angeles area. After working for other teams, he decided it was time to make his own gym and use his own philosophy.

Miyagi started his first gym, called The Miyagi Institute of Gymnastics, in Los Angeles in 1970. After very successful years of training some talented girls in Los Angeles, he decided to move his business to a new location to get away from the big city for his growing family. This is how he came to Auburn, California.

Miyagi Gymnastics Academy, in Auburn, opened first in 1984 on Lincoln Way. Miyagi gymnastics moved to Olympic Way in its current place in June of 1987.
