Welcome to Crazy Monkey Defence Brighton - the home of modern martial arts training in Brighton, Sussex.
Boxing - Kickboxing - Brazilian Jiu jitsu - Self defence
We are a licensed trainers for Rodney King's Crazy Monkey system of functional martial arts which have been specifically designed to optimise your martial arts development whilst developing wider skills to take beyond the mat and benefit all aspects of your life.
We are an inclusive, open, friendly gym who welcome participants of all ages and abilities to start their functional martial arts practice. We offer functional, real-world self defence training, through the vehicle of a combat athletics base, embodied mindfulness-in-action, and a framework of structured, progressive skill development.
We understand many new starters have concerns about being too old, out-of-shape, or may have been previously put off from previous training experiences. Our courses are specifically designed to lead the individual progressively and safely from learning the fundamentals of posture, structure and balance, through to applying their skills in drills and sparring. Your safety is our top priority and we have a zero-tolerance approach to dangerous or anti-social behaviour.
