Instructor Biography

John Anderson began training in the martial arts in 1985 as a member of the Bujinkan Dojo. During his time as a member of this organisation he travelled to Japan on a number of occasions to further his studies and it was during one of these trips that, in 1993, he first met with and trained under Manaka Sensei.Although the experience of training with Manaka Sensei left a lasting impression on John, it would be another seven years before he would get the opportunity to train under Sensei again when he travelled to the USA to participate in one of his seminars.

In 2001, after a long period of disillusionment with his previous training and after attending some seminars with Sensei, John decided to give up the rank and instructor status he held in order to start over again as a white belt student in the Jinenkan.
In October 2003, John passed the Jinenkan 3rd Dan test at a seminar with Manaka Sensei held in Aberdare and shortly afterwards was given permission to open up a Jinenkan Dojo.
John continues to further his knowledge by training with Manaka Sensei at every available opportunity.
