WHY THE SCHOOL OF CRAZY MONKEY?
At the School of Crazy Monkey, we bring modern martial arts back to its primal roots:
A way to protect yourself. A way to grow. A way to live.
Through our Mat | Street | Life philosophy, you’ll learn practical self-preservation skills—rooted in a proven, tested method.
Just as importantly, you’ll learn how those lessons carry over into life itself—your relationships, your work, your mindset.
Because it’s not just about being ready for a physical fight.
It’s about being a 'Mindful-Warrior' ready for the 'martial arts of everyday life!'

MEET COACH KING
Founder of the School of Crazy Monkey: Martial artist. Coach. Philosopher.
I've been walking the martial path since I was six years old. Along the way, I've trained everyone from special forces operatives and law enforcement units to people who just needed to stand a little taller in this hard world.
But here's what matters: I'm the anti-status quo of modern martial arts.
While everyone else is caught up in hyper-competition or paranoid self-defense rhetoric, I'm focused on something deeper. This isn't about trophies or fear—it's about building the kind of inner fortitude that lets you take on what I call the martial arts of everyday life.
At the School of Crazy Monkey, we don't just teach you how to handle a threat. We forge people who know how to stand their ground in a world that constantly tries to knock them down. How to move through chaos without losing their center. How to respond to pressure without breaking.
Everything we teach is battle-tested—because life itself is the ultimate proving ground.
My goal? To help you flourish on the mat and in every arena where life tests you.
If you're tired of the noise and ready to build something real, join me on the Virtual Mat—our global training ground where ego has no place, but resilience has room to grow.
HAVE YOU READ ONE OF COACH KING'S BOOKS?
Rodney has written some incredibly influential books. His book Inner-Defence delves into what it takes to build inner resilience and to thrive in the chaos of life. This is an essential book for anyone looking for grounded, research backed insights on how to flourish in the martial arts of everyday life.
His 2nd Book The Path of the Mindful Warrior outlines a path to becoming more than simply effective at fighting, where one's martial skills become insights for living a life of clarity, calmness, focus and resilience.
