Life is already a fight. Train to Meet It—Not with More Aggression, but with Calm Presence. Not to Dominate, but to Move Wisely Through the Martial Arts of Everyday Life.
Zero Meatheads.
Maybe you’ve trained before—or stood at the edge of it—but something didn’t sit right. Too much spectacle. Too much ego. Too much aggression passed off as courage. You wanted to grow. To learn how to show up in the real battles of life with calm and clarity. They just wanted to win.
Here, we train differently.
You’ll learn to hold your own under pressure—without losing yourself.
You’ll move with presence, clarity, and resilience. These aren’t just fighting skills. They’re life skills. This is modern martial arts for the Mindful Warrior.

More Than Fighting...
Modern martial arts has lost its way. What once guided people toward wisdom, restraint, and inner strength has too often become just another arena for ego and spectacle. The School of Crazy Monkey offers something different. We return the practice to its roots—as a way of life.
“Rodney is one of the rare martial artists intentionally applying the science of wisdom cultivation and human flourishing to his teaching of the martial arts”

"The Crazy Monkey Defense methodology offers practical, effective techniques combined with profound personal development. A game-changer for serious practitioners."
John Morris, Retired Green Beret
"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, Legendary Martial Artist, Actor and 6th Degree BJJ Black Belt
“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.”
