Black Gloves Master Coach
Dr. Rodney King PhD, MA, RSME
ISLE OF MAN & THAILAND
FOUNDER OF CRAZY MONKEY DEFENSE
While the modern martial arts world is fixated on hyper-competitiveness or extreme versions of self-defense — I focus on more than just the ‘Fight’. Combining the latest research in human flourishing, along with real world tested programs I have created – I offer an experience that will teach you how the lessons from the mat can enable you to take on the martial arts of everyday life more skillfully.

Jason Oxholm
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA
We firmly believe that a person’s ability to defend themself is far more predicated on their healthy outlook to life. Building mental game through martial art training and emotional resilience is far more important in a person’s everyday life, than self-preservation skills which we hope they are never called upon to use.

Carl Rex

I believe that everyone can learn CM and MJ. My passion as a coach is to find the best way for my clients to learn and to inspire them to get better every time they get on the mat. I believe in the philosophy of Crazy Monkey and how we can take those lessons and fund success off the mat as well as on.
Adrian "Jax" Murray
PERTH, AUSTRALIA
Martial Arts for self improvement, self preservation and self confidence. I follow the CM principles of Mat, Street and Life. Mat = training, keeping fit, dealing with pressure and performance, Street = Self preservation, Avoiding conflict and Life = Keeping ego in check, learning to accept what is deemed as failure and turn it into learning, dealing with pressure to allow for better negotiating skills in work, business and family plus creating strong friendships and social bonds with fellow minded martial artists.
White Gloves Trainers
Leenan Chetty
EDENVALE, JHB, SOUTH AFRICA
My ultimate goal as a Coach is to teach my students how to remain calm in a tense situation. This entails being physically fit, possessing a solid base in the fundamentals whilst using the right amount of creativity. I would say that my biggest strength is my patience which is evident in my style of coaching.
Andreas Georgiou
EDENVALE, JHB, SOUTH AFRICA
