It's NERF or nothin’! Nerf War Parties, a party business created by Justin Konwinski, gives kids and adults a chance to take their shot. Hosted from within Konwinksi's Campeao Jiu-Jitsu Dojo, 2928 London Road, Nerf War Parties was originally created as a way to fill a fifth week of the month to reward martial arts kids for their hard work.
Kids’ parties open with a free-for-all firing fest to get the feet moving, followed by customized scenarios, such as death match, team death match, prisoner rescue, and capture the flag. They also host adult parties, tailored for adult participants but great for reliving childhood excitement.
“Kids and adults love video games like Call of Duty or Fortnite, and this is a way to emulate those games," Justin explained. The business can accommodate up to 20 participants in their 4,000-square-foot matted dojo facility. “It provides ample space for dynamic, large-scale battles,” Justin said, “with plenty of room for strategic and team-based gameplay.”
Nerf War Parties uses the Rival brand of toy weapons – pump action ball shooters which can cover the entire room. They have a variety of sizes available, such as rifles and pistols, but Justin also teased that they have a few bigger, motorized guns that require more than a dozen batteries. Participants can bring their own guns as well if they’d like.
If you like the vibes of the facility, Konwinski’s dojo also offers Gi and No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu as well as Muay Thai & Kickboxing for kids & adults.
