Hi Everyone. Welcome!
I'm Kelvin Brillante, a martial artist and strength and endurance coach based in Gilroy, California. I'm here to help aspiring Saiyans adapt, evolve and ascend to unlock their hidden potential and discover their inner Saiyan through anime inspired workouts. Every Saiyan or warrior that has trained with the Saiyans such as Krillin, Piccolo and Uub, just to name a few, has mastered the balance between mind, body, and spirit; here is where I'll provide the guidance to lead you on that path.
What is a Saiyan?
If you're unfamiliar with the term Saiyan, let me take a step back and say, I'm a major Dragon Ball fan. Dragon Ball is an anime series that motivated me as a child to move and exercise and continues to be one of my main motivators today to keep challenging myself. In this anime series, there are fictional warriors called "Saiyans" created by Akira Toriyama. These Saiyans are an alien race who are characterized by their strength, Ki power and pride. Originally, they were nomadic warrior apes who sought to conquer planets for profit until the young Saiyan named Goku was born and starts his journey to protect the universe from evil which starts the entire Dragon Ball series.
My Approach to Fitness
Fitness doesn't have to be boring and monotonous. I combine scientific-evidence based training approaches with fun, fictional Saiyan inspiration with a touch of the total anime universe, to create anime inspired workouts, well-balanced, structured training programs, help you adopt healthy habits and teach you training essentials to help you achieve peak performance!
