Men, Fighting Can Be Good For You.

by Hans Hageman

Rodney King, the creator of the Crazy Monkey Defense system, lays out some interesting points about a significant part of the male “blueprint.”

I normally only post once or twice a week but I didn’t want to let this go by. This has been a year where I have been surrounded by dysfunctional men. The New York that I was inhabiting in my professional world seemed filled with male moral cowards. I believe this lack is due in part to a denial of the energy that normally defines us as men. For the poor, the absence manifests itself in random acts of violence and physical self-sabotage. For the more well-off, extravagance and excessive consumption fill the void.

The New York Times Sunday Magazine wrote that well-to-do men are increasingly seeking the aid of endocrinologists to provide them with the elixir of youth, including testosterone gels, creams, and pills. They might want to volunteer for a control group where they just get punched in their faces. It would be cheaper and they would learn a lot more about themselves.

Anyone else think that this is a problem?

Crazy Monkey

by Hans Hageman

I have been having some very good conversations with Rodney King, the creator of the Crazy Monkey Defense system.  Our talks have centered around teens and their desire for danger, adventure, and challenge.  If these things are not properly guided by responsible adults, then the young person’s behavior will manifest itself in destructive ways.  We are looking into a collaboration on a  Rites of Passage program for young men that pays attention to traditional models that include real challenges for the mind, body, and spirit.
