Mark Saunders
Founder of Jujitsucise
I’m Mark Saunders, founder of Jujitsucise - a self-defence, fitness and personal development programme built on movement, discipline and mindset. Jujitsucise brings together practical self-defence, high-energy fitness training and values-based coaching to help people of all ages become stronger, more confident and better equipped for everyday life.
I am a Level 3 personal trainer with over 20 years of experience in Japanese Jujitsu, training under both the British Jujitsu Association (Gendai no Shinka Jujitsu) and the Fighting Arts Organisation of Great Britain (Kempo Jujitsu). Alongside this, I spent more than 14 years working in education as a qualified teacher, serving as an Assistant Headteacher, Designated Safeguarding Lead, Director of Sport and Head of PE.
This blend of martial arts, fitness expertise and real-world teaching experience has shaped Jujitsucise into a programme that goes far beyond physical training. Whether delivered in schools, workplaces or community settings, Jujitsucise focuses on building confidence, resilience, awareness and self-belief empowering people to take control of their wellbeing and unlock their potential.
Jujitsucise isn’t just about learning techniques; it’s about developing the mindset, habits and skills to thrive in challenging situations, improve personal confidence and become the best version of yourself.
