Striking & Grappling Fundamentals 
(Crazy Monkey Defense)

(Teens & Adults)

This class teaches Crazy Monkey Defense (CMD) as a complete self-protection system, integrating striking, clinch, and grappling into one cohesive training experience.

 

CMD is often recognized for its boxing-based striking, but at its core it is a principle-driven method for managing all combat ranges—outside, inside, and clinch—while prioritizing safety, adaptability, and long-term health. In this program, CMD striking is taught alongside fundamental grappling skills, so students learn what happens when contact is made and the fight moves beyond punches.

 

Striking instruction emphasizes the Crazy Monkey defensive engine: posture, footwork, head protection, calm decision-making, and efficient offense. From there, students practice transitions into the clinch and basic ground situations using grappling fundamentals, all taught with resistance in a safe, controlled way.

 

Training includes focus mitts, partner drills, positional games, and light sparring. The focus is on protecting the head, understanding range, building timing under pressure, and maintaining self-preservation, all in a playful and creative environment.

 

Whether you are new to training or looking for a smarter, more sustainable way to learn striking and grappling, this class offers CMD alive, adaptable, and grounded in real-world self-protection.
