As a ten year veteran Police Officer in a large city, I am confronted daily with subjects of various size, strength, and skill levels. Crazy Monkey Defence provides me with the tools I need to protect myself and others from aggressive suspects. CMD fills the void left from where our defensive tactics training left off. Rodney King has a unique understanding of martial arts, synthesizing the best of modern MMA with the deepest knowledge of the connections of the mental game with the physical game. He has honed this somatic approach with the attitude and analysis of a modern scientist, lifting somatic martial arts from the realm of ritual and superstition and providing a coherent training path that all can follow to allow lessons learnt in training to have positive effects on daily life whilst retaining “effective” martial arts training.

| As the head trainer for one of the US Army Special Forces Groups, I have always looked for functional systems that either condition operators and instill the warrior spirit and combat related aatributes or those that have direct technical application to the mission sets needed ‘down range’. To find a system that has both is a rare find and something that I immediately recognized in the Crazy Monkey Defense as something we NEEDED to add to our foundation of base skills. ‘DD’- US Army Special Forces, Tikrit Iraq |

| As a positive psychology researcher I am impressed with Rodney 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. Robert Biswas-Diener, Dr. Philos., CMC, Author of Positive Psychology Coaching |

Rodney’s coaching will prepare you for self-defense and equally, if not more importantly, for successful encounters in life and career through an individualized and client-centered approach to martial arts that combines progressive, coherent, and realistic physical self-defense skills in a nonthreatening and positive environment where learning is not impeded by the fear of injury, aggression, or embarrassment prevalent in many martial arts programs and gyms around the world.
