Red Martial

what do the 3 ninja colors mean? BLACK RED WHITE?

what type of martial arts do they train in?

Black - kuro
Red - aka
White - shiro

Although most ninjutsu schools will utilize the, ever popular, black uniforms. The colors truly mean nothing. Often, it is a matter of choice. Red, white or Black, it is irrelevant.
__________________________________________________

Now, if you'd like to deal with mythology and a few twisted interpretations:

The shiro-ninja is said to use his abilities for honorable intent (the good guy)
The kuro-ninja is said to use his abilities less than honorable intent (the bad guy)
The aka-ninja is said to use his abilities either way (usually to the highest bigger - neither bad or good - he could be either)

Bare in mind, none of that is true. It's just what some people believe. It's like black magic. There is no such thing. What makes it black or white, good or bad, is the practitioner.

Much of the color myths originated from Hollywood.

Interested in learning Martial Arts?

If you’re looking for martial arts classes in Peterborough, Promartial Arts Schools Peterborough have been teaching kickboxing for over 8 years and all our instructors are well trained and qualified. Kickboxing is a relatively new martial art; the term was originally coined in Japan as recently as the fifties. Kickboxing is a very safe and effective way to keep fit. The majority of our classes involve no sparring at all so that you can enjoy the training and focus on the health benefits offered by this martial art. However, if you do want to get involved in competitions, we have separate sparring classes.

Benefits of kickboxing

Firstly, kickboxing is fun! It can help reduce stress, while improving overall fitness. We teach a style of kickboxing that will improve your flexibility, and stamina. If you are looking to lose weight kickboxing can help, while also having a toning effect resulting in a more streamlined figure. As workouts go, kickboxing provides an exciting, dynamic workout which gives you important self defence methods  and can also increase your self confidence. It provides a healthy, fun activity that you can do with your children, teaching them self discipline and helping to prevent bullying.

What level of fitness is required?

Don’t worry if you’re not particularly fit at the moment – we’ll soon fix that! We assume all new students are unfit to start with, unless they tell us otherwise. All training continues at your own pace and you only need to push yourself as hard as you feel is right for you. Regardless of your initial level of fitness or experience, or your physique and ability, we are sure our structured classes will enable you to make rapid progress and achieve the standard you are aiming for.

Friendly, experienced instructors

Our instructors have all undertaken rigorous training as we insist on very high standards. As well as having all achieved black belts in kickboxing, they are all friendly and approachable.
