Inside a workshop

Personal safety starts before a confrontation.

We’re a family-run team in Surrey. Our aim is to help women and young people go about their lives with more confidence. In a seminar, you can talk through a situation, see a response demonstrated and decide how much you want to practise.

Mark Ganaden

At sixteen, Mark was attacked despite years of martial arts training. That experience changed what he wanted to teach: how to recognise trouble, handle fear and make decisions when a situation feels unfamiliar.

Mark trained under Debi Steven at Premier Self Defence. He has taught personal safety for over 15 years across the UK, India and South Africa. His workplace teaching has included Kew Gardens, BP and the National Archives.
