This man not only understands pain, but he has a complete understanding of the human body which allows him to locate the problem areas in your body to relieve pain and identify the correct areas to focus on to exercise to strengthen. I've been working with Deshaun for almost 3 months now and he's helping me finally start fixing the problems that's been causing me pain for over 20 years. Not only through focused exercise and stretching; (if you're interested) he can complement the workouts with body work (massages) as well as meditation and diet recommendations to give you a holistic approach to attaining your goals. If you need someone to push you or someone to gently prod you along; he works with your personality to help you get to where you need. I'm very appreciative of his services and if you're looking for a personal trainer that takes a holistic approach to your physical and mental well being; be sure to reach out to Lucid Vitality!

Each time Cotter treats me, I feel very good and relaxed. He's helped me with a number of issues from a sprained ankle to the flu - and his help made all of them better. In addition to this, Cotter goes above and beyond for his clients. Case in point- he treated me while I had the flu and offered to provide me with a Chinese medicine herbal tonic that would have lessened the time I had the flu. My doctor had given me something else to take for the flu, but if I had been able to take the herbal tonic, Cotter was willing to go out to the American College of Chinese Medicine and get it for me. As an aside, I wrote a review of Cotter in Spring that Yelp filtered. If you'd like to read it, click on "filtered reviews." It seems Yelp didn't care for Cotter having too many positive reviews.

My son started Kung Fu at 9 YO and in 2 years he's gained discipline, focus, coordination, confidence, internal motivation, and great friends! Students progress at their own pace. Attendance days are flexible - with a monthly tuition, kids can attend any classes of their belt level (there are 5 every week). After a whole-class warm-up, kids break up into smaller groups and work on specific skills with the instructor and student assistants. The school holds optional tournaments and seminars, giving students an opportunity to set goals and train for specialized skills. Self-defense is emphasized and specific techniques are taught at each belt level, which build upon the previous ones. Anti-bullying measures, empathy, and conflict avoidance are also discussed. The instructors teach respect inside and outside of the school. I've been taking Kickboxing with Sihing Braydan and I absolutely LOVE it! Twice a week, a small group of adults work hard, push ourselves beyond what we ever thought we were capable of, and share lots of laughs too! It's a great way to end the day - exercising stress away, getting stronger, staying sharp, and feeling invigorated too. There are many fun events throughout the year, including the Lunar New Year celebration featuring our talented Lion Dance Team, who perform throughout the Bay Area. My son has had 2 birthday parties here, and they will tailor the event to your party theme, like Star Wars! I have also taken their Self-Defense course, which is open to the public and is extremely informative and empowering. I highly recommend it to all teens and adults. There are wonderful opportunities here from littles to seniors. Come try a class in Kung Fu, Kickboxing, Tai Chi, or Self-Defense, and gain mental & physical health, self-confidence, and a warm, supportive community.
