I've been an ardent supporter of the CMD Program since its inception in 2004 and have been there at all its stages of growth and development. I've excitedly implemented the classes and coaching methods, philosophies and techniques over the years with great success. My personal experience with Mr. King has been positive, he provides online support, answers all phone calls and gets me and my group involved in the Annual CMD Retreat. It's refreshing and unique to experience how martial arts can be used to improve one self in more ways than just the physical. Mr. King is a 3-P coach (psychology, physical and pretty damned great coach).

I have been working personaly with Rodney for many years, however from the moment when he created the coaches programme, I finally started to see a deep message which came across. Personal development with CMD's life approach, is totaly unique and an innovative system which separates us from rest. As a professional coach, I still want to get cutting edge training, however 'coaching' is totaly different animal than personal skill development. CM's-Life approach coaching fits perfectly here. Added to this world class coaching information, training systems, clients asessments,..etc, and you have a whole package on an elite level, which you cannot get anywhere else.

The Crazy Monkey Defense Program, in addition to being one of the finest Martial Arts programs available, is also one of the most exciting and innovative coaching programs in the Martial Arts. While most instructor certifications are based on the individual?s ability as a Martial Artist, the CMDP program spends as much, if not more, time on developing coaching abilities and creating the training environment that true learning can take place. It is Rodney?s commitment to innovation and growth that makes the CMDP more than buying a training course, it is a lifelong pursuit to become better coaches, Martial Artists and citizens of the world.

I met Rodney while attending a martial arts camp more than five years ago in Portland, USA. My initial impression of him was "this guy has got to be the best boxing coach in the world." Soon I learned that I was completely wrong! Rodney is far more than that, he is an innovator, and a creator his abilities as a coach reach far beyond just instruction in martial arts. Rodney has the unique and rare ability to apply what he coaches to positively impact all aspects of your life. In training with Rodney through the years the learning never ends the growth never stops and the fun keeps coming.

In my twenty-eight year martial arts journey, I have trained with and been associated with a number of instructors and organizations. NOT ONE has made the impact on my life or personal performance that the CM Trainer's program has. Not only is the training cutting edge functional, it is also backed with a rock solid set of ethics and professional standards beyond anything else in the martial arts world, as well as a support structure second to none. When you become a CM trainer, you receive a real effort to make you the best coach you and your clients will ever need. But what really continues to impress me is the constant effort on Rodney's part to make sure the program is always evolving to become even better. It was one of the best decisions I ever made when I decided to join. I haven't regretted it for a moment.

I thought that being deployed would pretty much stunt any growth in my training, but I was wrong. Particularly with the trainer's program, Rodney has gone out of his way in many respects with me personally to help me with my own personal game. Voice-over commentary on videos of my training, personal coaching talks on the phone, suggested reading lists, and in general taking into account my current situation. I am very grateful I received this opportunity to be coached by him. He's a genuine person, and highly motivating.

The best and easiest method to build a foundation for effectively teaching martial arts. In my experience, it benefits everyone from working professionals to professional fighters. The program is both fun for clients and teaches functional fighting skills.
The Crazy Monkey program helped me find myself as a coach and trainer. I have gained confidence in my coaching and am assured I am providing high quality instruction to my clients.

I just have to say that Rodney's insite on the martial arts and on life have changed the way I see everything. If I were to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 how my life has changes (Not just martial arts-but everywhere) I'd have to say I'm at an 11 now- thanks to CMD and Rodney. Thanks bunches coach!

Brilliant ? Inspiring ? Motivating ? Unique - Grounded, these are some of the words I would use to describe Rodney and his Trainer in Training program for the CMDP, since joining the TnT program I have since moved into the wellness industry full time, and I am loving every minute of it. I would also say it has been a truly Positive Life Experience.
Phill Holden ? Fitness Coach/CMD Trainer
The Trainers program for me has been a breath of fresh air, it has took a lot of years to actually stumble onto a program that caters for all my needs as a coach and a trainer and addresses all the issues related to coach. Since becoming a CMDP trainer my martial arts as wel as my mind set has developed at an enormous rate for the better in personal game and information overload with the wealth of knowledge that is available. The words that stick in my head from the yearly clinics so far are as follows "I don't want you to be good coaches, I want you to be great coaches" I feel that Rodney has lived up to this and I am a 1000 times a better coach than when I joined the program.
Stephen Holden- CMD Trainer United Kingdom, Program Coordinator SKD Lifestyle Centre http://www.skdlifestyle.com
The CMD Trainers Program is unlike anything in the industry. I am constantly amazed by the depth of this well of resources. Not only from the Member Site but from each and every trainer on the staff as well as Rodney himself. It's more than just joining a group for the sake of following the leader. It's about having the opportunity to take an active part in changing the way martial arts are trained, taught, and experienced.

Initially I joined the CM Trainers program to enhance my physical skills. Little did I know it would enhance my Life, providing the skills to maintain a fruitful, healthy one using the medium of martial arts. I wanted to improve my standup, and that I did, through the fine, simple details of the CMD program.I also improved my attention to details at work, in my relationship and in decision making. Martial arts, from the scope of the masses is synonamous with dominating another human being and kicking sombody's ass. To me, now, Martial arts apart from obtaining skills to defend one's own self, is about overcoming whatever negatively impacts your life, be it external troubles or internal struggles and enhancing what is already positive. I got G.A.M.E now, thanks to the CMD Program!

Opportunity and inspiration. That's what I get everyday on the CMDP Trainers Programme.
Having the chance to revolutionize my own game, dramatically improve the coaching I offer and build a training environment that suits me, as much as the people who train with me, all contributes to me being completely engaged in my coaching at a time when many of my old training partners have given up altogether.
I have had the opportunity to coach and train around the world, working with people who, as other CM trainers, or clients, have inspired me to push myself further than I could have imagined. None more than Rodney, who, as the creative force behind CM, drives the programme to become way more than just martial arts. I'm proud to call him my coach and friend.

Many lessons have been learnt and I still continue to learn on a regular basis. I feel that I have developed mental and emotional strength an spiritual awakening and continue to do so as part of my destined path. From the insightful messages on how and why we need to focus on the present to helping me realise whatever I wish to become is possible. That change comes from within yourself, and that takes strength and courage. And to not attach emotion especially when making a decision, and most importantly that I do not allow my actions to reflect or dispaly any anger. When making important decisions in life personal and career, I received advice, guidance and support. I often feel that not only have I developed a relationship with Rodney as coach and client but also developed a friendship.

I was first fascinated with Rodney when I first watched his Street Boxing video series. That was like Wow!! I want those skills. so when I knew he was coming to Singapore to teach, I had to learn from this guy. It's been 7 years now since I met him in 2001, I am glad that I decided to learn from him. He's my Coach and has been helping me with my development as well as my martial arts skills. I have been doing functional martial arts for 22 years, so I know when a see the real deal. What I like about him is that he has helped me to transform my self to transcend martial arts into a tool that I can use to succeed in my life and my business. He's very good at his fighting ability as well as his coaching ability.
