REVIEWS

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.
RICHARD NORTON
Martial Artist, Stuntman and Actor
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
DR. JOHN VERVAEKE
Professor of Cognitive Psychology and Science at the University of Toronto
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.
GEOFF THOMPSON
Reality Based Martial Arts Pioneer
I’ve been a fan of the Crazy Monkey Defence 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.
ELVIS SINOSIC
MMA Star & UFC veteran, UFC Fight Week co-host on @FoxSportsAus
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. As a martial artist myself, King’s methods are a breath of fresh air.
DR. ROBERT BISWAS-DIENER
The Indiana Jones of Positive Psychology
As a fellow martial artist who has a powerful mindset and is a master at winning, Rodney King inspires, teaches and has taken his life of training to empower others to take on life and win. He is a true master in his art and a warrior with the knowledge and the grit anyone would want to learn from.

We also provide you with supplemental online resources to further enrich your growth as a Trainer. Welcome to your journey of transformation and impact.

MONTHLY LIVE TRAINERS ONLY WORKSHOPS

Every month, you will have the opportunity to attend exclusive live virtual training sessions, a mandatory experience designed for all Trainers. These sessions, occurring twice a month, are tailored to provide specific insights and training in two key areas: the Crazy Monkey Defense Self-Preservation Program and the Crazy Monkey Jiu-Jitsu Program. These real-time, interactive sessions form an integral part of our holistic training approach, offering you the chance to refine your skills, deepen your understanding, and directly engage with our experienced Trainers.

MONTHLY COACHING CALL WITH RODNEY

As part of your comprehensive training journey, every month, you will participate in a personalized coaching call with Coach Rodney. These interactive sessions provide a unique opportunity for you to directly seek guidance on any areas of challenge or interest. The privilege of being mentored personally by Rodney is a unique feature of our program that significantly contributes to your development. It's mandatory for Trainers in the Apprentice Phase to attend these monthly calls, reinforcing our commitment to individual growth and the pursuit of mastery. These crucial coaching calls are scheduled on Fridays, during Rodney's office hours, ensuring consistent, direct interaction with your Head Coach.

ATTEND GLOBAL TRAINING EVENTS

Every year, Coach Rodney conducts globally recognized seminars and retreats, creating an immersive learning environment for Trainers like you from the School of Crazy Monkey. As part of our community, you enjoy the advantage of attending these enriching events at special 'Trainers Rates'. These in-person training events serve as more than just learning opportunities.

Whether you are working towards achieving Trainer Glove Rankings in the Crazy Monkey Defense Self-Preservation System or pursuing belts in Crazy Monkey Jiu-Jitsu, these events provide a direct path to showcasing your progression and attaining recognition for your dedication and skills.

“I can’t say enough about the CMD Trainers Program. I followed Coach Rodney and Crazy Monkey for years, and finally had the opportunity to be part of the team. The training & course content deliver what others promise: a tested combat sports base that can be applied on the mat or in real world personal protection."

STEP 1: FILL IN THE APPLICATION FORM

After submitting your Application form you will then receive an email from our Team with options to sign-up. This will be based on what you noted on the Application Form.

STEP 2: PAY YOUR JOINING AND FRANCHISE MONTHLY FEE

To begin your journey with us at the School of Crazy Monkey, we ask that you pay your joining fee, which will subsequently activate your Trainers License. By taking this step, you demonstrate your commitment to joining our global team of dedicated Trainers. For more details on the Trainers License Fee, kindly refer to our FAQ section below. Together, let's usher in a new era of global martial arts training.

STEP 3: SCHEDULE YOUR INTERVIEW WITH COACH RODNEY

Once your joining fee is paid and your franchise fee activated, you'll be granted access to Coach Rodney's calendar to schedule an essential one-to-one call. This initial conversation serves as an assessment of your compatibility with our team's ethos at the School of Crazy Monkey. Should Rodney find that your aspirations or goals do not align with the values of our Trainers Team, the decision may be taken not to proceed with your application. In such a scenario, you will receive a full refund of the joining fee you've paid. However, this call is more than just an evaluation. It's an open forum for you to ask any lingering questions and gain a deeper understanding of the journey you're about to embark on. In this conversation, Coach Rodney will delineate your responsibilities to the Team and equally importantly, our commitment to your growth and success as part of the School of Crazy Monkey.

STEP 4: SIGN YOUR TRAINERS AGREEMENT

Once your application is unconditionally accepted onto the Trainers Team, you will receive a DocuSign link to formalize our partnership via the Trainers Agreement. While this agreement permits you to exit the Trainers Program at any time with a notice period of one full calendar month franchise fee payment, its primary intent is to underscore our commitment to you, and to outline your responsibilities as a representative of our brand and a member of the Trainers Team.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

At the School of Crazy Monkey, our philosophy of coaching modern martial arts lies at the very core of our mission. We understand that some of our Trainers may have students who participate in various combat athletic events, but it’s vital to remember that these competitions are not our primary focus or mission. If this is what you are looking for we suggest you look to other organizations with a primary focus on competition.

As Trainers at our School, we all abide by two fundamental focal areas:

Firstly, our training is designed and delivered with an unwavering focus on self-preservation readiness. We spar, we roll, but above all, we are committed to equipping our students with practical skills to defend themselves when it matters most.

Secondly, our coaching transcends the physical techniques of martial arts. We strive to impart profound life lessons encapsulated in our mat training, nurturing our students to not only succeed in martial arts but to flourish in all aspects of their lives. This is our unique approach, and it forms the very essence of the School of Crazy Monkey.

 

As part of our Trainers Team, each member is responsible for a monthly Trainers License fee. In return for this contribution, you are granted legal and ethical rights to use our comprehensive range of intellectual property, copyrighted content, and marketing material. This system ensures fair usage and propagation of our respected brand’s resources, helping you effectively grow your training programs under the established banner of the School of Crazy Monkey. 

From the moment you receive an unconditional offer to join our Team, you are authorized to begin teaching under the respected banner of the School of Crazy Monkey. However, it’s imperative to maintain honesty and transparency with your students regarding your current status. If you are in your Apprentice Phase, for instance, you should communicate this clearly in your verbiage and discussions with potential students.

Teaching is a powerful tool for learning and we encourage you to embrace this role. We look forward to witnessing your growth through this process. Remember, you are not alone on this journey. You’re joining a global team and will receive direct mentorship from Coach Rodney himself. This is a unique opportunity to grow, learn, and become a part of our international martial arts family.

Absolutely. Feel free to email [email protected]

We understand people’s motivations change. As such, you can leave the Trainers at anytime with one months paid franchise fee. Due to the unethical nature so prevalent in the modern martial arts world, we ask all our Trainers to sign a standard agreement where you ‘agree’ to suspend the use of all material relating to the intellectual property of the School of Crazy Monkey. The agreement you sign also outlines exactly what our responsibilities are to you as a Trainer in our Team, but in addition the commitments you agree to make to the Team.

In signing the agreement, you also agree to cease usage of all intellectual property, terminology, copyrights, and branding associated with the School of Crazy Monkey, should you choose to leave our team. This is to ensure the integrity and unique identity of our brand, and the collective value it offers to our community.

Dr. Rodney King, renowned for his exceptional skill in modern martial arts, is also a distinguished academic, researcher, and consultant to law enforcement, military, and various global agencies. As a member of our Trainers Team, you represent his esteemed reputation. Thus, you are expected to act ethically in all your endeavors, particularly on social media and in interactions with your students.

We hold our Trainers to the highest standard of professional conduct and respect for the community we serve. Any actions that jeopardize Dr. King’s international reputation can lead to immediate dismissal from the Trainers Team. Our commitment to ethical behavior, respect, and integrity is uncompromising. Let’s work together to uphold these values and continue to positively impact the world of martial arts.
