Crazy Monkey defense is one of the finest boxing based martial art programs in the world. We will teach you the skills, techniques and mindset strategies that will make you a great martial artist and give you the confidence you seek in your ability to defend yourself. What makes CM training different is the way that we teach you the skills.  The focus in our boxing classes is body mechanics, structure, techniques and understanding the whole body movement as they apply to the boxing game. We want you to really understand the foundation is that your game will be built on. The aim of CM, both in terms of technique and approach, is to give everyone the tools they need to feel completely safe, no matter the pressure. CM Will have you feeling completely in control of your training, which is revolutionary when it comes to learning the art of boxing. While most gyms will have you focusing on offense first, we take a balanced approach. Teaching you to ride the storm and develop confidence with your defense so you can use your offense intelligently. With safety comes confidence, with confidence comes the ability to develop functional, applicable skills.
-Learning which techniques work best and at what range.

A key element of training with us is a focus on what your body is designed to do in a fight.

ROLL, FLOW AND DEFEND
We believe first and foremost Brazilian jiu-jitsu is a ‘MARTIAL’ Art. We therefore ensure that we focus on teaching our students how to successfully defend themselves with their jiu-jitsu skills. As such we present a cutting edge, up to date, proven approach to self-preservation training.

This doesn’t mean that we don’t believe live rolling isn’t important. On the contrary, it is in the roll where you learn to be calm, focused, precise and develop timing. All these ‘skills’ are key in your ability to successfully apply your jiu-jitsu skills in self-preservation. Not withstanding, live rolling is ‘serious’ fun, personally challenging, and where you have the opportunity to experience the flow state.

Thirdly, jiu-jitsu is often said to change people’s lives, first on the mat, and then in the world. We firmly believe this too. Except we don’t leave it to chance. We integrate cutting edge personal development coaching, mindfulness research and performance psychology into our training approach.

A kettlebell is a traditional Russian training tool that has been used since the turn of the century to develop full body conditioning and fitness.

A kettlebell looks like a cannon ball with a handle. The shape of the kettlebell allows for unique positioning of the weight directly above your center of mass (unlike a DB or BB which must be held in front of the body) and allows you to keep your hand and wrists in neutral alignment, which enable for greater endurance and longevity in the core lifts so that you can produce a much higher volume of exercise and thus

greater conditioning and fitness.

Some of the benefits of kettlebell training include:

• Improved muscular strength
• Incredible work capacity (strength endurance)
• Enhanced athleticism – flexibility, coordination, balance etc.
• Weight loss
• Injury prevention
• Mental toughness
• Lean & functional muscle mass
• Strengthening of the entire posterior chain
• Core strength
• Sport and combat applications
