Personal Safety Workshops

In person or online

Jujitsucise delivers engaging, thought-provoking Personal Safety Workshops for corporates, schools, businesses, and community organisations across London and the UK. These sessions go far beyond “self-defence moves” and focus on awareness, mindset, decision-making, and confidence, supported by simple, realistic physical strategies.

​

The workshop is designed to empower participants to feel safer, calmer, and more confident in everyday life — without fear-based messaging or unrealistic techniques.

​

Delivered by Mark Saunders, qualified teacher, former senior leader & DSL, Level 3 personal trainer, and experienced self-defence instructor.
