Why Amsterdam needs
a movement practice.
Amsterdam has hundreds of gyms, yoga studios, CrossFit boxes and martial arts schools. Most specialise in one thing. Crazy Monkey Practice sits underneath those disciplines: we train the perception layer that every sport, dance and martial art runs on.
People join our movement classes from yoga, climbing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, strength training, dance β and everyday desk life. We say the root grows anything. Concretely: better balance, better coordination, better mobility, better strength, and better awareness of yourself and the people around you.
