Sensei Andy Manwaring

Sensei Manwaring holds a 7th Dan in Ju-Jitsu, and is the Founder and chief instructor of Red Rose Ju-Jitsu, a successful martial arts training centre with around 140 members and 10 instructors, based in Lancaster.

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 and 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, since 1997, 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 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, one of the leading bodies in registering martial arts styles and their headmasters/founders.
