American Ninja Warrior 3[]
Brandon entered American Ninja Warrior 3 as a recent college graduate at the age of 22. He completed the Qualifier Round with an impressive time of 46.13 seconds, placing second in his qualifier round. In the Semi-Final, He cleared the Salmon Ladder but failed the Unstable Bridge but he placed 11th, and qualified for boot camp.
In boot camp, he was chosen for the team, the Blue Monkeys. His team lost the team relay on Day 1, and he went up against Dustin Rocho on the Heavenly ropes and won. On Day 3, the Blue Monkeys lost the team relay for the second time sending him again to the Heavenly Ropes, where this time he lost to Travis Furlanic and didn’t earn a spot in Sasuke placing 13th overall.
American Ninja Warrior 4[]
In American Ninja Warrior 4, Douglass competed in the MidSouth region. His qualifying run was shown in full and he cleared the course with the 3rd fastest time. In the Regional Finals he did one better, this time clearing the course with the 2nd fastest time. In Vegas, Douglass' Stage One run was digested and unlike his qualifying runs, Douglass took Stage One much slower, but still finished with time to spare. He cleared 16th overall. On Stage Two, Douglass couldn't complete the Unstable Bridge, ending his best season to date.
American Ninja Warrior 5[]
After having his best performance to date, Douglass returned to American Ninja Warrior 5 with confidence. At Denver's qualifiers Douglass tore through the course and snagged the fastest time from Amos Rendao. His finishing time was 46 seconds. Many expected him to dominate the City Finals just like he had night one, but shockingly he withdrew from the competition. During his fastest time clear Douglass tweaked his knee. According to city finalists in Denver, Douglass had gave a speech to fellow competitors explaining why he's withdrawing. A key point in his speech being that he prioritizes parkour over Ninja Warrior and that it's everything to him. Douglass had decided the risk of injury by competing on ANW was not worth his career in parkour. He has not competed since this declaration.
