In the small but mighty state of New Jersey, nestled between the bustling cities of New York and Philadelphia, are some extraordinary kids with astounding abilities. No, they don’t have superpowers like flying or walking through walls (although that would be cool), they are highly skilled in the ancient art of Kung Fu! Through the leafy suburbs, buzzing boardwalks, and bustling cities, you will find dojos filled with these pint-sized powerhouses. From the tip of Cape May to the bustling city of Newark, these New Jersey kids are twisting, kicking, and chopping with a finesse that would make a Shaolin Monk proud! Meet our fun-loving, imaginary character, Noodles the Ninja Squirrel from Nutley. Now, Noodles isn’t your average squirrel. He’s a Kung Fu master who loves to munch on pizza bagels (the unofficial snack of NJ) when he's not flipping and kicking in his dojo. Oh yes, Noodles has a heart as big as his tail and he’s always ready to lend a paw in teaching Kung Fu to his human friends. With his nutty humor, Noodles makes learning Kung Fu an adventure. You’ll often hear him saying things like, "Remember kids, you gotta be quicker than a seagull nabbing a boardwalk fry!" or "Your punch should be faster than a Jersey commuter during rush hour!" Under his guidance, the kids of New Jersey are not just learning Kung Fu, but also the importance of discipline, respect, self-confidence, and a healthy dose of Garden State humor. So, if you're ever in the great state of Noodles...I mean, New Jersey, watch out! You might just run into a kiddo who can chop a wooden board in half with a swift, high-pitched "Hi-ya!", taught by the funniest Kung Fu master squirrel in town, Noodles!
