FEEL SAFER AND MORE CONFIDENT

WHO AM I?
My name is Al Natrins. I am a veteran self defence coach with 16 years of experience, based in Kings Heath, Birmingham.
I provide practical, inclusive training that helps people become harder to intimidate, better able to protect themselves and others, and foster a stronger belief in themselves and what they are capable of.
I am proudly non-macho, LGBTQ+ inclusive, neurodivergent supportive, and body positive. I especially enjoy teaching beginners and creating a space where people can learn without bravado, pressure, or having to prove themselves.

WHAT DO I DO?
I run self-defence classes and 1:1 or small-group coaching in Kings Heath, plus workshops for workplaces and education across Birmingham and the Midlands.
I am also running exclusive FREE trans+ classes in cooperation with my friends at Birmingham LGBT.
My style is a hybrid system of striking and grappling - rooted in my krav maga background - designed to develop effective skills, tactics, and mindset, for real-life situations.
What we focus on:
-
Awareness, boundary setting, de-escalation
-
Kicks, punches, knees, elbows and how to defend these
-
Releases from headlocks, bearhugs, throttles, hair grabs, clothing grabs
-
Clinches, sweeps, takedowns, throws
-
Defending yourself on the ground
-
Dealing with weapon threats and attacks
-
How to protect friends and family
-
Understanding how this all works within UK self-defence law
What we also work on:
-
Functional fitness: strength, stamina, mobility for everyday capability
-
Mindset & confidence: calm under pressure, clear decisions, real confidence
Why train with me?
I have worked with literally hundreds of people and helped them to improve their personal safety, boost their fitness, and increase their self confidence.
What I teach works. Several students that I’ve coached have survived dangerous and violent confrontations thanks to the skills, tactics, and mindset, they have developed.
I understand that self-defence is about more than physical skills - it’s about how you see yourself and what you believe you’re capable of.
