Sharpen your ninja skills at the Airjitzu Battle Grounds!
Join Airjitzu Lloyd and Airjitzu Nya in the practice arena to help them train for their battle against Master Yang, the original Airjitzu master. Choose from a variety of cool training weapons and try out new moves on the Ghost Students. Dodge the obstacles and then detach the Airjitzu launchers, pull the rip cord and send a ninja hero spinning into an aerial battle against Master Yang. The harder you pull, the faster they will spin!

Trivia[]
- This is the first and only Ninjago set to feature two Airjitzu Flyers.
- Lloyd and Nya's Airjitzu minifigures are exclusive to this set.
- Two of Yang's students appear in this set and are exclusive to it.
- Similarly to Nelson, who was released with 70589 Rock Roader, they are wearing the original Ninja masks from 2011. These sets mark the first appearance of the masks since 2011.
- This is the second set to feature Yang, as he also appeared in 70595 Ultra Stealth Raider. He is the only minifigure that is not exclusive to this set. The only difference is that he only includes the Yin Blade, and not his lantern or the neck bracket that held it.
- These buildings in this set have never been shown in any episodes in the series.
- This is one of two sets to come with Airjitzu flyers (not including the Airjitzu flyers themselves), the other being 70735 Ronin R.E.X..
- This set bares a resemblance to the 70640 S.O.G. Headquarters, namely with its sparse area-like design and the inclusion of a spinner (two Airjitzu ones in 70590 Airjitzu Battle Grounds and a Spinjitzu Masters one in 70640 S.O.G. Headquarters)
- The names of Yang's students, "Chris" and "Martin" may be a reference to the Kratt Brothers.
- Curiously, Wu's Aeroblade is included in this set, despite Aeroblades not having any part in "Day of the Departed."
- The lack of bright colours on Lloyd and Nya's Airjitzu flyers' launchers is because they are supposed to resemble gray pillars.
- In the set animation for this set, Lloyd and Nya erroneously use each other's flyers. The set is also called "Airjitzu Temple Grounds" in the video title.
