What is Kinsei-Do?
Kinsei-Do is a holistic exercise and training program centered around balanced functional fitness.
It is holistic because it improves all physical aspects needed for every day activities and most sports, which are: endurance, strength/power, balance/coordination, speed/agility and flexibility/mobility.
It is functional because it focuses on useful movements (think squats), not irrelevant repetitive exercises (think bicep curls).
Practicing Kinsei-Do requires no special movement skills or ability to perform any complex techniques, complicated equipment or large dedicated facilities, just a positive can-do attitude and a willingness to work on improving yourself.

What's behind the name?
Kinsei-Do (均整道) consists of the two Japanese words, Kinsei and Do.
Kinsei means proportioned or well balanced, and Do signifies a method, art or way; hence in combination, Kinsei-Do stands for the art or way of (achieving or maintaining) a strong, fit and balanced body with optimal physical capabilities. Kinsei-Do is The Way of Functional Fitness!

The Kinsei-Do Functional Fitness Training System
Components of Functional Fitness
|
Training Kinsei-Do centers around the five components of physical fitness that form the foundation of all human movement, the pillars of fitness. These are Endurance, Strength and Power, Speed and Agility, Flexibility and Mobility, and Balance and Coordination.
Whatever your goal is, all the metaphorical pillars that keep your house from crumbling must be equally well developed! |
|
Different Methods for Different Objectives
|
Depending on which pillar you are working on, the method of training will be different. From HIIT based protocols made popular by CrossFit and the like to more flow or sequence based workouts more commonly associated with yoga practice, everything has its place in the Kinsei-Do methodology.

Your Functional Fitness Journey
|
Each exercise and workout routine is designed with a certain fitness level and foundation in mind. From newbie to fitness crack, Kinsei-Do offers something for everyone. To this end, the Kinsei-Do training system is broken down into six levels or ranks. Your journey through the six ranks serves several purposes: it motivates you to strive for improvement, allows you to exhibit your progress and also ensures that beginners are not overwhelmed while at the same time keeping seasoned practitioners challenged.
|
|
There's something for Everyone
In addition to the six levels, the purpose of which is to set a systematic framework to measure progress, each Endurance, Strength/Power and Speed/Agility workout at every level (except White Belt) comes in three grades of difficulty. These variations, known as Standard, Advanced or Elite, further ensure that Kinsei-Do is suitable for everyone!
