MARTIAL arts experts will demonstrate their manoeuvres to raise cash for charity.

The first Rainbow Warrior Weekend, which takes place at Huddersfield University on April 12-13, will raise money for Rainbow House.

The House, in Chorley, Lancashire, teaches self-help for parents and children with neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy.

Instructors showing their skills will include Jujitsu 10th Dan Soke Brian Dossett and Huddersfield’s own multi-martial arts champion Rebecca Kane.

Fundraiser Peter Thompson, from Wigan, said: “They’ll be instruction from some of the highest rated instructors in the world. It’s a great event to go to if you’re thinking about starting a martial art or if you have a martial arts club and you want to learn more.

“My own son (six-year-old Paul) has cerebral palsy. He’s been using the Centre for years and so it’s a charity close to my heart.”
