WHAT IS CRAZY MONKEY DEFENSE?
Discover Crazy Monkey Defense: The Art of Modern Self-Preservation. Born in the heart of Johannesburg, one of the world's most challenging urban landscapes, Rodney King developed this innovative martial arts program through real-world experience. As a head doorman at some of South Africa's toughest nightclubs, Rodney witnessed the raw, unpredictable nature of street confrontations. This first-hand exposure to chaos and danger led to a groundbreaking realization: real fights are nothing like their choreographed Hollywood counterparts or traditional dojo teachings. They are messy, frantic, and entirely unscripted.
​
Crazy Monkey Defense stands apart in its focus on defense. Rodney observed that in the heat of a skirmish, the ability to effectively shield against an onslaught could dramatically turn the tide. This insight laid the foundation for a program that balances offensive prowess with robust defensive strategies, preparing practitioners to weather any storm of strikes.
Furthermore, Rodney's extensive street experience, encompassing over 300 personal encounters, revealed a surprising truth: boxing, not fancy moves or forbidden techniques, dominated in real-life fights. This led to the creation of a striking-based system grounded in practicality and effectiveness. The core of Crazy Monkey Defense is not about fighting in the ring; it's about winning in life's unpredictable battles.
