Redefine Martial Arts Coaching for the Modern World

The School of Crazy Monkey for Trainers isn’t just another martial arts program—it’s a career-transforming opportunity to coach a system that empowers your students to thrive, both on and off the mat.

Whether you’re starting a new career as a certified trainer or looking to elevate your existing skills, our apprenticeship program offers something truly unique: a research and scientifically backed curriculum that integrates the art of self-preservation with the science of human flourishing.

A New Standard in Martial Arts Coaching

As a Crazy Monkey certified trainer, you’ll teach your students how to defend themselves effectively while helping them unlock their full potential in life. Our program intentionally applies research-backed tools from the science of mindfulness (or what we call Present Defense), resilience, and human flourishing to every aspect of our curriculum. This isn’t just about fighting—it’s about inspiring personal transformation.

Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Human Flourishing Meets Martial Arts:
No other modern martial arts program intentionally incorporates the science of human flourishing into its curriculum. You’ll learn proven techniques to guide your students toward greater focus, resilience, and well-being—skills they can apply far beyond the mat.

 

2. A Flexible and Versatile Curriculum:
Our programs aren’t just for martial arts academies. Trainers successfully apply Crazy Monkey’s approach in corporate workshops, law enforcement training, and even military environments. Whether you’re working with business professionals, tactical teams, or dedicated students, our curriculum adapts to meet their needs.

3. Full Contact Living Program:
As an apprentice, you’ll gain access to our groundbreaking Full Contact Living Program, which includes tools for teaching:

  • The science of mindfulness to build focus and reduce stress.

  • Our Breathwork for Fighters Program, techniques to optimize performance under pressure.

MEET COACH RODNEY KING

The Visionary Behind the School of Crazy Monkey

Since the age of six, martial arts has been my passion and my path. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of sharing this journey with an incredible range of people: elite special forces operators, law enforcement professionals, close protection specialists, dedicated martial artists, and aspiring trainers from all walks of life.

But what I’ve discovered along the way is this: martial arts can be so much more than punches, kicks, and defense. It's a gateway to thriving in every area of life.

What makes the School of Crazy Monkey different is not just our focus on self-preservation skills—although everything we teach is rigorously tested for real-world application. The heart of what we do is grounded in a bigger vision: empowering trainers and their students to flourish both on and off the mat.

 

Over the years, I’ve combined decades of experience both on the mats and real world self-preservation experience—with my background as an academic and researcher in the science of human flourishing. The result is a one-of-a-kind approach to modern martial arts lifestyle coaching—one that equips trainers and their students to overcome not just physical challenges but the everyday battles life throws at us.

 

When you become a Crazy Monkey Trainer, you’re stepping into a role that’s about so much more than teaching people how to fight. You’re joining a global community of like-minded individuals, all united by a common purpose: helping others grow, flourish, and thrive in the martial arts of everyday life!

If this resonates with you, keep reading to learn more about my unique Apprenticeship Program—and discover how you can be part of a global movement to redefine how modern martial arts is viewed, coached and experienced.

“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.”
