Our Oakland CA personal training and self defense community is built around intentionally cultivating a culture of self-actualization and healing. We accept everyone at whatever level of conditioning they present with. Everyone is welcome and we encourage you to join us! If at first glance these modalities don't make sense together in our martial-arts-based training facility, see The Relationship of Martial Arts & Healing.
There are no attitudes, showoffs, or intimidating personalities in our sessions. We are all here for the right reasons - to support you in improving your quality of life through fitness. See our reviews about KES Fitness from people from all walks of life, all ages and professions. Our trainers are postural therapists as well as personal trainers.
With that special expertise, they can assess your fitness to determine what combination of passive or active stretches and strengthening exercises are necessary to bring balance to your body. Fascia is the connective tissue throughout our bodies, similar to the white connective tissue of an orange that holds its juicy cells in place and gives it shape.

Our philosophy is based on the concept of self-reliance through body consciousness, mental discipline, and physical fitness.
Our unique set of fitness offerings embody this philosophy, grown out of a martial artist's journey.
The philosophy of KES Fitness was born from my experience as a youth training in martial arts in the Santa Cruz mountains, hiking, climbing, jumping off rocks, and swimming in the ocean.
Later as a trainer, I embraced martial arts as a spiritual discipline that helps strengthen the will, cultivate courage, and master the emotions.

KES Stretch online is a live streaming video mobility class designed to increase active usable ranges of motion.
Though passive stretching is a component of KES Stretch, it is an active class that requires vigorous participation.
This class uses concepts like irradiation*, PAILS/RAILS** and maximum voluntary isometric contraction to re-pattern the nervous system, allowing the body to expand and control ranges of motion that have been previously lost.
A muscle working hard recruits the neighboring muscles, and if they are already part of the action, it amplifies their strength.
