Good times with Resilience

WHO ARE WE?

We are Resilience - a krav maga self defence club run by full-qualified and experienced (16+ years) coach Al Natrins. We are based in the heart of Kings Heath, Birmingham.

We provide practical 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.

 

We are proudly non-macho, LGBTQ+ inclusive, neurodivergent supportive, and body positive, creating a space where people can learn without bravado, pressure, or having to prove themselves.

BEGINNERS WELCOME!

About

WHAT DO WE DO?

We run group classes and 1:1 or small-group coaching in Kings Heath, plus workshops for workplaces and education across Birmingham and the Midlands.

Krav maga is a hybrid system rooted in striking and grappling, designed to develop effective skills, tactics, and mindset, for handling aggressive or violent confrontation.  Rather than focus on sport or competition, we specialise in practical training to deal with problems you face in everyday life. 

What we focus on:

  • Awareness, avoidance, 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 us?

We have worked with literally hundreds of people and helped them to improve their personal safety, boost their fitness, and increase their self confidence.

 

What we teach works. 

Several students that we’ve coached - as well as Al himself - have survived unpleasant, dangerous, or violent confrontations thanks to the skills, tactics, and mindset we have developed.


We 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.
