"As a neurosurgeon I treat people who have sustained head and spine injury. I am particularly concerned about activities that can put someone at risk for either injury 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 that has at its centre the goal of defence – not aggression and attack. The techniques are mouldable to my needs and functional ability whilst providing me with a superb level of safety. I appreciate how the program grows with me – the more knowledgeable and skilled I become, the more complex and experimental I can make 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 the me - but as it allows me 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."

"I had not trained in any martial arts before and was worried about having to practice for years before learning anything useful but James has provided a realistic, effective and easy to learn self defense system in CMD.

"I have known James and Paul for almost 18 years. It does not surprise me that they have taken on the role of CMD Australia. They are both professional and diligent trainers of the highest order. As a former Police officer (14 years service) and a Development Manager in the Security Industry, I am grateful for their assistance over the years. In my opinion Martial Arts/ Combat sports/ Self-defence is a journey that requires continuous learning throughout life. James and Paul live and breathe their disciplines; I recommend them as trainers to anyone that wants to either begin or continue their journey."

"It’s
been
almost
3
months
since
I
began
training
with
James
in
Crazy monkey,
starting with private one-on-one tuition before combining this with his
group classes. Working in the finance profession, I’m not looking to
make a career in MMA but believe it is incredibly important to know
some form of self-defense and having had very little experience in any
martial arts previously, I’ve developed skills and techniques that
almost immediately gave me confidence in my ability to protect
myself.
CMD is truly a program adapted for anyone, whether you’re doing it
because of your line of work (security), for fitness, for self defense
or for the prospect of competing, you choose the “game” you play."

"Working in the
Security industry can at a lot of times put me in positions where I
have to deal with very aggressive patrons and dangerous situations.
Although I have dabbled in different kinds of martial arts and self
defence systems over the years none of them even come close to the
training I have received in the CMD from James. CMD It is the most
effective and practical system I have ever come across and in just a
short time has prepared me both physically and mentally to deal with
any situation that may occur. I feel a lot more confident in my
abilities due to the CMD training, and the private coaching from James
is absolutely second to none."

______________________________________________________________________________________________________I've been with the Crazy Monkey Defense Program's Coaching facaulty for over 4 years now.
Through this alliance I have had the pleasure of meeting many great martial artists, coaches and people. However,there's been a new guy on the block. His name is James Woodfield-Jones and he is taking engagement and participation in the trainiers program to a higher level. I have found James to be very sincere and passionate about martial arts, conscious business practices and providing an A1 service for his clientele. He brings alot of experience to the program and this is noted in our discussions between coaches. James really stands out from the pack, and CMD Australia is lucky to have him there and pushing things down under.
