What Is The Crazy Monkey Defense Experience?

At the Crazy Monkey Defense we work with the every day person who would like to train in a modern martial art that will teach them how to develop self-defense confidence, while at the same time allowing them to take the positive lessons they learn on the mat into their life and career.

Most people who first enter modern martial arts training today believe that in order to learn real martial art skill you have to be the proverbial ‘tough guy’. The media has perpetuated this myth and especially in mixed martial arts.

The meathead mentality, hyper-competitive mindset, and all about fighting attitude has become the prevailing image of modern martial arts today.

We understand this misconception. It is this misconception that has many people believing that training modern martial arts is nothing more than just about fighting or sport. It is also this misconception that has put a lot of mature, every day people off from training in modern martial arts.

Fortunately the Crazy Monkey Defence offers you another way. We have kept the ancient intention of martial arts as a life performance system, while keeping our training super functional, cutting edge and up to date. At the CMD you get the best of both worlds. The opportunity to challenge yourself, grow, and strengthen your mind, body and spirit, while at the same time learn how to successfully defend yourself and those you love!

You can become a positive force in the world by helping us break the current stereotype in modern martial arts. When you join the Crazy Monkey Defense as one of our clients, on our online gym, as a CMD Trainer, or as a fan at our FaceBook page, you tell the world that you are using modern martial arts not only to become a champion on the mat, in the field, but most importantly in your life and career.

Positive Psychology & Crazy Monkey

positivepsychologycoachingAs a positive psychology researcher I am impressed with Rodne y King’s intuitive grasp of people’s strengths and hopes. Rather than building a martial art around fear of attack, testosterone-based competition, or external rewards King introduces the best aspects of performance psychology to help people achieve their own goals.

In a field steeped in tradition, King artfully reimagines both the dojo and the martial arts business mentality. At long last, we have a perfect union of proven martial arts techniques with cutting edge approaches to teaching and personal development. As a martial artist myself, King’s methods are a breath of fresh air.
