Within CMD’s Trainer ranks we have people who specialize in only training Special Force Military and Police. In addition some of our CMD Trainers are made up of members from various military units as well as the FBI.

As Matt Dell, KOTC Super fight Champion, KOTC pay-per-view veteran, RITC Bantam Weight Champion noted,

“The Crazy Monkey Defense Program has really taken my game to the next level, and has made me a complete fighter within just one year.”

While non of our CMD Trainers specifically focus on running competitive gyms, the success of the CMD program in that arena is evident by the amount of well known mixed martial artists using it today. This is accomplished either by them learning CMD directly from one of our Trainers or through our world-class DVD instructionals.

Highly successful CEO’s, emerging Business Leaders and Creatives have all used the CMD program to gain the mental edge for the boardroom and to perform at their best in life.

This approach is evident in the following statement from Gary Watahira- Administrative Manager for the City Of Fresno’s Managers Office,

“The CMD program provides teaching methodologies and training philosophies that provide valuable guidance for management in a performance based organization”.

More Of What Top Up & Coming Competitors Are Saying About CMD

“I found that Rodney King’s Crazy Monkey Defense Program really helped me in my professional Muay Thai Fights. It helped me to stay calm as I felt confident in weathering any storm. My knowledge of CM also helped me maintain little to no damage to my face in my major Muay Thai Fights in Thailand. In addition to this, it gave me confidence in dealing with elbow strikes, thus allowing me to strike back more effectively. Having worked predominately on the ground with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, I found that CM was the perfect program for me and gave me confidence in my stand up abilities.

  • I love Rodney’s CM Program because of the versatility of its concepts and principles. The philosophies behind CM can be extended beyond the stand up game. I have personally found that the CM principles can be applied to my Jiu-Jitsu classes as well. Rodney’s style of coaching is straight forward, realistic and easy to understand. Though Rodney takes a no-nonsense approach to coaching, he also manages to inject an element of humour in his classes. What he teaches is readily applicable in real life situations, be that in or out of the ring. Rodney has helped develop my teaching style and my understanding of coaching for the better. I extend my sincere gratitude to Rodney and his Crazy Monkey Defense Program and would recommend this program in a heartbeat.”Adam Shahir Kayoom – World Professional Muay Thai Champion and Muay Khmer Champion
