Hi, I'm Al - I hope you're  well 🙏🖤🙌

​

​I’m a colourful, neurodivergent AuDHD self-defence coach with experience helping hundreds of people of all shapes and sizes, all identities, and from all walks of life.

​

My work is about helping people develop self defence capabilities to feel safe in their bodies, connected to themselves, and powerful in their lives. And I absolutely love doing this!

​​

I started training krav maga as an adult in 2009/10, before becoming an instructor in 2013 with the now largely defunct Krav Maga Midlands.  I then went solo and established Resilience in 2018 (under the name Krav Maga Mayhem) with the aim of teaching inclusive, progressive self-defence. ​

​

Resilience is designed as a safe haven for people who’ve felt out of place in mainstream training spaces.  If that's you: I see you. I get it.  My style is easy-going, fun, and empowering - and because I’m AuDHD myself, I teach with clarity, flexibility, and respect for different learning styles.

You’re in the driving seat: we go at your pace, in a way that suits your brain and your body — no rush, no ego, no judgement.
