MEET OUR HEAD COACH

Dr. Rodney King, affectionately known as 'Coach,' stands as a visionary in the world of modern martial arts. His journey of over four decades began in the rough neighbourhoods of Johannesburg, where martial arts were a means of survival. It has since transformed into a holistic practice that transcends mere combat techniques, offering a blueprint for personal excellence both on and off the mat.

At the core of Coach Rodney's teaching lies the principle of self-ownership—a belief that true strength is forged by walking the path less travelled. In an era dominated by external competition, perpetual hustle, and the chase for status, he posits that genuine growth can only emerge from a bold rejection of societal prescriptions of success.

Blending frontline experience with scholarly precision and the latest insights from human flourishing research, Rodney charts a course for martial arts mastery that harmonizes physical prowess with inner peace.

The outcome is a transformative martial arts experience that shapes not just fighters, but mindful warriors—equipped to thrive in the arena of life, embodying the virtues of resilience, presence, and purposeful action. Under Rodney's guidance, students learn that the ultimate victory is in mastering oneself.
