Neurosurgeon Speaks Out On Crazy Monkey!

As a Neurosurgeon I treat people who have sustained head and spinal injuries. I am particularly concerned about activities that can put someone at risk for either of these injuries to occur. It is for this reason that I have personally chosen Crazy Monkey Defence for my own fitness and self-defence program.

As the name suggests, Rodney has designed a martial art program that has at its centre the goal of defence, not aggression and attack.  The techniques are moldable to my needs and functional, whilst providing me with a superb level
of safety.

I appreciate how the program grows with me  the more knowledgeable and skilled I become, allowing me to be more complex and experimental with my responses. My learning is helped considerably by having James at CMD Australia a great coach and facilitator.

I also like how CMD deliberately and actively embraces a holistic approach to training and performance. CMD is just one part of  me – but as it allows me to explore options, think about new techniques, and plan and execute moves in real time, it actually replicates and reinforces the surgical decision making part of my life, where I must have the confidence and clarity to make the right decision in an emergency setting.
