 Evolutionary CORE
Affectionally known as the ‘Evo-CORE’ by CMD Trainers, this program runs for around 16 weeks and is the first course all of our new clients are introduced to. In this course, we lay the foundational skills necessary for all future CMD training to take place.
Unique to this course, are techniques, drills and strategies that are specifically designed to plug into a persons inherent evolutionary adaptations to surviving a real physical threat.
Unlike many martial art systems, CMD works with a persons evolutionary responses to danger not against them. We have designed a physical martial art expression that is built off a persons first response and instinctive reactions to danger.
Bottom line we enhance and train what is already inherent in all of us when it comes to surviving a fight and WE TEACH THIS FIRST.
Kick-Plug-In Course
Most CMD Trainers offer the CMD Kick Plug-In course either during the E-CORE or straight after it’s completion. The K Plug-In teaches our clients the most basic, but functional kicks for self-preservation. The focus is on low line kicks, that don’t take a whole lot of flight time to perfect and also do not require a great level of flexibly. This fits nicely into our 2hr A Week Coaching Approach.
 Combat intelligent Athlete Plug-In-Course Level 1
The CIA plug-in course fits in seamlessly with the completion of the E-CORE. The E-CORE sets the foundational skills, while the CIA builds off those skills to teach our clients a practical, no-nonsense approach to self-preservation.
While this is only the level 1-course, it is designed to build a clients self-confidence should he or she be attacked. Clients can then choose to complete further levels in the Combat Intelligent Athlete program, including training in CMD’s knife defensive system Red Zone where offered.
 Jurassic CORE
CMD Trainers who have successfully taught the E-CORE, Kick, and CIA plug-in course’s to their clients- then move onto teaching the J-CORE. This course runs for around 20 weeks, and takes the clients game to a whole new level.
While the E-CORE focused on keeping distance and attacking from there, the J-CORE is all about taking the fight to the opponent. In this CORE course a client develops the confidence to breach the attackers in-coming strikes, working counterstrikes, and ultimately winning the fight with aggressive intent.

Crazy Monkey Defense’s 5D Approach
CMD Trainers don’t just teach martial technique, they are taught how to teach, coach and to set-up the unique experience of Crazy Monkey Defense training. We call this the 5D Model and plays a central role in a CMD training space.
The 5D Model is centered in the GAME approach. Our clients can be assured to experience CMD training that is Grounded in, Action focused, Motivated through and Executed by the 5D Model.
1D- The Teaching GAME
CMD is taught from our patented Newtonian, Pavlovian and most importantly CHAOS Coaching Models. We don’t believe achieving great skill in martial technique should be by accident. We train CMD Trainers to ensure that they have a clear map on how to achieve world class performance with their clients.
2D- The Coaching GAME
Developing physical technique proficiency is the job of the Teaching GAME, but this will only take someone so far. In the CMD we know all too well that understanding the connection of mind, body and spirit is the defining combination that is required for a our clients to perform at their best. To this end we ‘coach’ from a strength based approach, working with our clients unique strengths, focusing on on developing their warrior spirit.
3D-Wisdom Environment GAME
In the CMD we believe that environment informs behavior. To this end all CMD Trainers build a training environment centered on cooperation, play, trust, freedom to make mistakes and exuberance. All CMD training environments are free from the meathead mentality so prevalent in modern martial arts today. We offer training environments for the every day guy and girl, not the exclusive domain of the Jock or the guy who gets off on dominating people on the mat.
4D- Social Consciousness GAME
We care how what we coach is used. We also care just as much about how what we coach is perceived. Positive Psychology is a huge part of our approach to offering socially conscious martial arts. We coach our clients to see the big picture, beyond the mat, where the positive skills learnt on the mat, transcend and become a part of each of our clients lives outside the gym. But more than this, to understand the implication of what they have learnt, that just as martial skill can be used for good, so can it easily be used for all the wrong reasons.
5D- Conscious Business GAME
Driven out of our Socially Conscious teaching approach, is how we do business. While of course all CMD gyms want to be financially viable, this is never achieved at the expense of honesty and ethical business practices. We are able to coach because of our clients, therefore our clients, their needs, goals come first. |
 Somatic Martial Arts Plug-In
Many trainers spend time after covering the J-CORE with their clients, teaching the Somatic MA plug-in course. This course is designed to enhance the understanding of the mind and body connection, between movement and technique, and movement and intention. This is a super cool course, that allows our clients a whole new experience of movement artistry.
 Pathfinder CORE
The Pathfinder CORE lasts for around 1-year. In this CORE course, while continuing to improve on the training, techniques and drills already covered to date, the focus now is on helping a client find and develop his or her own unique expression of Crazy Monkey Defense. We also spend a lot of time in the P-CORE developing sparring strategy and tactics such as the CMD Fight Compass.
Spider CORE
The S-CORE is our clinch program and consists of 3-main focus points, these been a modified version of the neck-tie game, modified wrestling clinch designed as rather a platform for striking and not takedowns (Although takedown can still be done) and finally CMD’s signature clinch game the Straight-Jacket game.
The Straight-Jacket game is unique to CMD, where we actively and progressively teach the clinch for striking, often referred to as ‘dirty boxing’- this game gives our clients a unique advantage in the fight game.
All 3 clinch games are introduced throughout the course of training and are included in the E-CORE, J-CORE and P-CORE respectively.
 MMA-CORE
Depending on the requirements of our clients we teach a progressive mixed martial arts program. Simply MMA means the ability of our clients to move seamlessly through the stand-up, clinch and ground games.
This program is often introduced, where necessary once the E-CORE is completed. In normal instances unless a client is training to compete, the MMA-CORE is focused on a mixed martial art approach to self-preservation, with the main focus of always getting back to ones feet.
CORE & Plug-In Courses Recognition
Throughout all the training listed above clients are recognized for their hard work and their performance achievements, by been awarded CORE or pug-in course specific certifications.
Strike-Artistry Program
Clients who focus their training on developing their sparring game are trained within our Strike-Artistry process. While they may be progressing through the other CORE courses, a client may also be focusing on building and developing their sparring game.
CMD are huge advocates on getting clients to spar, it teaches them how to handle pressure, overcome self-limiting beliefs and develop tenacious mental skills- all necessary when those skills are called upon for self-preservation.
In addition sparring is the perfect platform to develop ‘life skills‘, from learning how to work with difficult emotional states, to developing positive mental skills that transcend the mat into life.
Clients who do exceptionally well in the Strike Artistry process are awarded the coveted CMD Glove’s Recognition. |
