FAQ
Digital Library07
Can I do an online class without following the live streaming classes?
Yes, many FM students follow an online class only through the recorded videos, without joining the live streaming classes, as they are in different time zones or cannot do all classes live due to other commitments.
How does this work: For all new / upcoming FM online classes, the 10 live streaming classes are recorded & shared with the participants on Thinkific platform, maximum 1 day after each live class is completed. Plus, all shared videos on Thinkific are available for the participants to watch for another 60 days after the last live stream class.
What is the best online class to start with?
We have a variety of online courses to choose from, depending upon what you are interested in working on. All of our online courses are accessible for 60 days from the last live stream class, or 60 days from the date of purchase, in the case of purchasing a class from the library of past courses. For those new to FM, we recommend starting with Zero Forms Essentials and Zero Forms Spine. For individuals who are interested in a program with lifelong access and who would like to dive deeper into FM Practice we would advise purchasing SPINE and/ or COORDINATIONS program.
Do I need a big space to do an online class?
The more space you have the better, but your room should be enough. We humans have evolved through pressure and restrictions, so we are sure you will find creative solutions to whatever limitation you are facing.
When can I watch the video recording on Thinkific from today’s live streaming class?
For all new / upcoming FM online classes, the 10 live streaming classes are recorded & shared with the participants on Thinkific platform maximum 1 day after each live class is completed, as it takes a few hours for us to edit and upload the video. In addition, all shared videos on Thinkific are available for the participants to watch for another 60 days after the last live stream class.
Until when do I have access to an online class I have purchased?
You can see how much time remains on your access to a particular online class in your FM account in “My Practice”.
Can I extend my access to an online class once the expiry date has passed?
Due to requests, we have already expanded the duration of students’ access, and are now offering 60-day access for all online classes to enhance learning. In case your access has expired and you want to re-visit an online class, you can always purchase it again, and the new access will be valid for another 60 days.
Can I join online classes even if I have no previous experience with FM?
We make no distinction between beginners and advanced practitioners within FM. Prior experience is not necessary and there is always something more to learn for any participant. The theoretical and practical materials we share can be adapted to professional athletes as well as to novices.
How long is the access to the FM Full Programs?
The FM Full Programs, Spine, Athletic Leg & Coordinations, include LIFE-LONG access to the material, so they have no expiry date.
What is the content of FM Full Programs?
Each of the three programs has a different focus, and contains the most essential material to work on within that focus area. Regularly updated and improved, the FM Full Programs definitely have the highest value in the FM online library.
What is the difference between the online classes and the FM Full Programs?
The main differences are in depth and volume of the offered material. Online classes are one-hour classes where we explore certain aspects of the training, while FM Full Programs deliver the entire landscape of our core training principles.

What is the best course to take as an introduction to Fighting Monkey practice?
Meeting and working with you in a live workshop is an ideal way to begin FM practice, but that is not always possible, as we all know. The other alternative is to join our online courses where we share a great body of research. The beauty of the online courses is that you can study according to your own pace and schedule for 60 days. Recommended online courses for first-timers are the Zero Forms Essentials and Zero Forms Spine. Whatever course of study you choose there’s always space to accommodate your individuality.
Do I need any skills or previous experience to join a FM workshop?
The physical and cognitive tasks we use to practice range from possible to impossible to complete.They nourish youth and the vigor for life, and are therefore truly accessible for everyone from minus nine months to 125 years old. We believe any and all of us can create, play, smile, sweat, and search for what we always wanted to be. Anyone can benefit from encountering new ideas, exchanging with talented people, and living a life worth living.
How can I become a FM Instructor?
The first step towards becoming an FM Instructor is participation in the 10-month Mentorship Program led by Jozef. The Mentorship Program is for anyone who enjoys exploration and continuous learning. It is for courageous and curious practitioners who see themselves as poets and educators willing to share and exchange inspiration to engage with life. More details about Mentorship can be found below. Contact us and we will be more than happy to provide you with more details of the Mentorship process and what it includes.
How can I find an FM community to practice with in my region?

How Do We Learn/ Think/ Develop/Change?
1. By testing values, aesthetic or practical, that are considered certain and beyond debate 2. By decoding, for ourselves, the forms and definitions that are well established in our culture 3. By seeking personal experience and self-reflection over “objective” explanations 4. Through teaching via practical action/play rather than cold, intellectual analysis and fixed learning plans, because theory alone cannot express reality 5. By being encouraged to test and question 6. By playing. It’s all just a game, no need to take ourselves, or our practices, too seriously 7. By harnessing change, rather than fearing it and by recognizing things, ideas, works, and all expressions of life as a state of ceaseless change
