Sensei Andy Manwaring
Founder/Chief Instructor 7th Dan Ju-Jitsu
 Sensei Manwaring is the head of this successful martial arts training centre, with around 140 members and 10 instructors, but it wasn’t always this way, obviously we all have to start somewhere!
 Andy started his Ju-Jitsu training in 1984, previously trying other Arts, but Ju-Jitsu apart from being the closest club to where he lived, seemed to cover all the areas of combat he expected from a Martial Art. The Bushido Kempo Ju-Jitsu club was based on the outskirts of Carnforth in Lancashire, run by Sensei Paul Jackson 6th Dan.
 Since then Sensei Manwaring has been fortunate to have been able to train on courses with top instructors from the UK, Brazil, USA, Russia and Japan, with his main Instructor, for nearly 10 years, being Prof. William Rankin 10th Dan Ju-Jitsu, to whom he became the personal student and eventually the Inheritor of his system Lan-Kin-Fa Ju-Jitsu.
Sensei Manwaring currently teaches at clubs/courses around the UK and as far away as the USA & Russia and not just at Ju-Jitsu clubs, having taught Close Quarter Combat and self defence for many other clubs/associations including Aikido, Judo, TaeKwonDo, Karate and Mixed arts (Budo).
 Sensei Manwaring is recognized as the founder of the Red Rose Ju-Jitsu and the Inheritor of the Lan-Kin-Fa Ju-Jitsu by the WHFSC (World Head of Family Sokeship Council), one of the world leading bodies in registering martial arts styles and their headmasters/founders.
