FIGHTING THE INNER OPPONENT
After 17 years of training,
sparring and competing with some talented opponents I have found that
the Inner Opponent is the deciding factor in how well you perform.
Dealing with those doubts in your mind of "maybe he is better" or "he
has had 50 fights" etc does not help in the slightess. At the end of
the day it comes down to expectations coupled with the urge to prove
something, whether it be to oneself or others. After coming to the
conclusion it is not about winning or losing but more about the journey
and not the destination, my game went through the roof. Once changing
your mindset to focus on not having to prove anything and just PLAYING
"NOT" COMPETING, you will not only improve your game but it will be so
much more enjoyable. The CrazyMonkeyDefense Program always looks to
stress this to all clients because not only is it a healthier attitude
but once learnt it will open a variety of things to you, in and out of
the gym, that you thought maybe otherwise be impossible.

Client testimonials
"Working in law
enforcement puts me in many hostile situations, coming
from kickboxing background made me
feel capable of handling most situations I
came across, but since
training CMD with James I have found that it
is only NOW
by incorporating the skills I have learnt
through CMD into my workplace that I
am truly capable of handling situations I face
day to day"
JD
Transit Officer "I work in the
Security industry. Training
with James in Crazy Monkey has improved
the
confidence with which i approach patrons & in my
ablility to help my co-workers if i think things are going
bad. And
whilst I've certainly developed skills physically- it's
also helped
me to focus mentally. When i first
started training in
Crazy
Monkey i felt very
unco-ordinated, like
learning to walk & now my feet feel
secure below me. James was really
supportive & guided me through- I
know if you work hard enough at it,
then anything is
possible"
