If you've seen his "Street Boxing 101", one of his top students (Uno) who
spars with him has apparently developed his midsection to the point where
Rodney can no longer drop him with his patented shot. You also have a CM
defense to cover for the liver shot that you see one guy using in the
intro, but Rodney doesn't have time cover it on the DVD itself.

It supposedly only takes a few sessions with him and you'll soon be doing
that liver shot to the first and second class grads too. IMO he could tune
up a beginner's boxing standup in about three or four sessions and ordinary
people make remarkably fast progress with him. I believe it!

One example is how he talks about footwork. He says 'you'll get a lot of
'footwork' experts who will try to teach you all sorts of footwork, like
slide up step and angle step' - all of that is fine, but you need to know
some basic footwork that works all the time. He puts a tennis ball on the
mat and goes over circling the tennis ball by turning in the foot, squaring
up the hips and not crossing the feet. 

It works really well, I've been doing it and it's greatly helped my shadow
boxing.

CM - Crazy Monkey is the name of the boxing style he teaches.
