“Rodney is one of the rare martial artists intentionally applying the science of the cultivation of wisdom and human flourishing to his teaching of the martial arts”

“Rodney King is years ahead of his time, he has taken his martial arts to the level of budo, where few dare to go. I am a big fan.”

“Rodney is the 'real deal' when it comes to all things 'street'. I 100% encourage students of the arts to investigate what Rodney King has to offer. You will not be disappointed. I know I wasn't.”

“I loved how Rodney King weaved his life story, and together with his martial art practice, was able to succeed and win at the martial arts of everyday life.”

“I’ve been a fan of the Crazy Monkey Defense for many years. It was a great privilege to have Rodney come out to Kings Academy to teach a seminar. It was even better to see his passion for teaching and the effectiveness of what he taught. I look forward to having him out to Kings Academy for a follow up seminar when he’s next back in the country.”

“With the addition of the “inner game”, Rodney King’s martial arts programs has elevated itself into another dimension. His approach to inner game takes cutting-edge Behavioral Psychology findings and through easy-to-learn techniques shows you how to harness the power of your mindbody to get even more out of your training experience."

As a longtime participant and teacher in the world of martial arts, I know that students can take a wide variety of paths. Some pursue the physical arts, others develop their spiritual practices, still others focus on building community through their dojos and training programs. But it’s rare to see someone take it all the way through to the foundational concepts that underlie the health and performance of the human animal. Dr. Rodney King is one such person. In the many years that I’ve known him, Dr. King has continuously expanded his understanding and incorporated it into a practice that is truly holistic and above all, relevant to the challenges of the modern age. I heartily recommend his programs and his work.
