1:1 With Coach King

4 days of Embodied Practice · 5 Nights of Quiet Return

WHY THIS IMMERSION IS DIFFERENT 

Most intensives chase volume and exhaustion. We train calm first so skill holds when it counts. The focus is breath, structure, timing, and clean decision-making — then applying those same capacities to the “martial arts of everyday life.” Safer does not mean softer. It means dependable.
 

WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE

  • Morning Training (90–120 min): stand-up and ground fundamentals, constraint-led rounds, breath-timed movement, and composure under pressure—scaled to your body and season of life.

  • Nature Walks (2–3 hrs): coastal paths, woodlands, and quiet lanes. Walking as practice: presence, attention, boundaries, and recovery.

  • Philosophy in Practice (60–90 min): small-circle conversations on courage, meaning, and modern life; short reflections to integrate insight into action.

  • Personal Coaching: one-to-one time with Coach King to tailor drills and your home practice.

  • Virtual Mat pass to keep momentum.

"Although I lacked a training partner, many great tips for training solo were provided and I was able to get answers to my questions right away." 

—Andre, Canada

"I needed an effective system for self-protection that could be realistically pressure tested within the combat sports and combatives communities. I found the answer in the Crazy Monkey Defense system." 

—Ray, Former US Special Agent


“Under Rodney’s coaching guidance, I’ve learned practical ways to manage my daily work stress through breathing practices and mindfulness. He is a true Renaissance man in the modern era.”

— Joseph Annerino, Law Enforcement Agent, Florida, USA


“I have known Rodney for nearly a decade now, and during that time, there have been multiple times when I needed direction, clarity, and support. Rodney’s experience and knowledge have constantly supported my journey in business and personal growth. As someone who does not take feedback well, it was important for me to have a coach who allowed me to explore my needs and kept sessions on point and relevant to the agreed goals. I attribute my recent success to the unique and insightful sessions that Rodney has given.”
— Aaron Le Boutillier, Neuroscientist & Owner of Treet Roots Retreat, Thailand


“Working with Rodney has been a revelation for me. His guidance and coaching have helped me gain the power of perspective when looking at challenges I face and reframing problems. The approach of looking within myself to affect things I have the power to influence has increased my resilience to challenges, and in particular, now, when I am facing unexpected health issues, I feel more equipped to navigate this path with Rodney’s guidance.”
— Tom Mumford, UK

“I have wanted to work with Rodney for a long time. He has helped me elevate my personal growth and self-discovery to a new level. That growth goes well beyond the obvious into all phases of my life.”
— JD Morris, Retired Special Forces Operator, USA


 

"I spent thirty years in law enforcement as a Special Agent with both the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Justice. My main focus was on domestic and foreign counter-terrorism matters and the targeting of violent crime offenders across the U.S. After completing my government service I started my own security consulting firm and began conducting various types of counter-terrorism training primarily outside the U.S. I sought to improve my empty hand skills and needed an effective system for self-protection that could be realistically pressure tested within the combat sports and combatives communities. I found the answer in the Crazy Monkey Defense system"
Ray - US Special Agent
