We are acutely aware that many of our clients want to learn how to defend themselves. The world can be a scary place, sometimes more for some than others.

With that said we firmly believe that a person’s ability to defend himself or herself is far more predicated on their healthy outlook to life. Building mental game through martial art training and emotional resilience is far more important in a person’s everyday life, than self-preservation skills we hope they are never called upon to use.

It is this ideal of using martial arts as a life performance tool that has been sadly neglected in modern martial arts, one could even say disappeared. Even in the modern incarnation of sport based martial arts, winning by beating someone else physically is done without any thought of teaching it’s athletes about a positive philosophy of martial arts that transcends the ring. After all you may compete for 15 minutes, but you still have to live in the REAL world every hour of every day.

We acknowledge that on the way some CMD clients may compete and unfortunately some may be faced with a situation that requires them to defend themselves. To this end we welcome the opportunity to prepare our clients for the ring or to ensure that they are self-preservation proficient.

However CMD is ALWAYS first and foremost a vehicle that helps it’s clients become champions in life and career. You may be with us a couple of hours a week, but you are in the real world 23-hours of every single day. If through your training with us, you can pick up lessons, strategies, attributes (Both mental & emotional) that will enhance your life’s performance in a positive way then as CMD Trainers we have done our jobs.

We are not going to preach to you, we are not going to tell you want you must do with your life, we simply offer the CMD experience. We know that for each one of us as Trainers, each in very different ways, this experience has changed our lives for the better. There is no way we are going to keep that experience to ourselves!
