DYNAMIC
MOVEMENT
ASSESSMENT
Before any program is written, every KambaFit athlete completes the DMA — a 10-minute, 7-movement screen that gives Coach Chris an objective picture of how your body actually moves.
The DMA is not a fitness test. It does not measure how strong or fast you are. It measures movement quality — the foundation everything else is built on. A high score means your body is ready to train hard. A low score means we fix the root cause first, so you can train harder later without breaking down.
A 60-second walkthrough of the DMA — what it is, why it matters, and what Coach Chris looks for in each movement.
DMA Explainer Video — filming in progress
Your body doesn't move in parts. It moves as a chain.
From foot to spine, every joint has a primary job. Mobile joints need range. Stable joints need control. When the system works, movement is powerful, efficient, and pain-free. When it breaks down — even slightly — the joints above and below compensate. That compensation is where pain and dysfunction start. That’s where performance leaks.
The Dynamic Movement Assessment maps your chain joint by joint. We find where range is limited, where stability has failed, and where your body is already working around a problem you haven't felt yet. We find the weak link before you load it.
Train the chain. Fix the root. The rest follows.
7 movements reveal exactly where your body compensates, guards, or loses control — before those patterns become injuries.
Each movement is scored 0, 1, or 2. The total gives you a Movement Quality Score (MQS) out of 14 — a number, not a feeling.
Low scores trigger specific corrective exercises woven into your warm-up. Nothing generic. Every corrective is earned by your own data.
7 MOVEMENTS.
10 MINUTES.
The warm-up IS the assessment. No separate testing session required.
THE MOVEMENT
QUALITY SCORE
After the 7 movements, each score is added up to give you a total MQS out of 14. This number tells Coach Chris exactly how to structure your program — not just what exercises to prescribe, but how hard to push and where to hold back.
The DMA is re-administered every 3–4 weeks. Watching your MQS rise over time is one of the clearest signals that your training is working.
MASTER SLOW
TO MOVE FAST
Most training programs skip the assessment and go straight to loading. That works — until it doesn't. The DMA ensures that every athlete at KambaFit is training in a way that matches where their body actually is, not where they think it is. The result is faster progress, fewer setbacks, and a body built to last.
Every new athlete completes the DMA before their first session
Results are tracked in the athlete app and reviewed with your coach
Corrective exercises are automatically added to your warm-up
Re-tested every 3–4 weeks to measure real progress
THE FOUR
PILLARS
An integrated progression system based on good science and proven practice. Each level advances according to physical capability, time commitment, and fitness goals — maximizing results while minimizing injury risk.

THE 7 Rs
FLOOR SYSTEM
Every Kamba Fit session is structured around the 7 Rs — a proprietary coaching framework that guides athletes from preparation through performance and into recovery. This is the science behind the results.
Soft tissue work and myofascial release to reduce tension, improve tissue quality, and prepare the body for movement.
Breathing and nervous system reset. Re-establish proper movement patterns and joint centration before loading.
Dynamic warm-up and movement preparation. Prime the neuromuscular system for the demands of the session ahead.
Speed, agility, and reactive training. Develop fast-twitch capacity, coordination, and athletic responsiveness.
Strength and power development. Progressive resistance training tailored to the athlete's current pillar level.
Conditioning and mental toughness. Build the capacity to sustain performance under fatigue and adversity.
Cool-down, mobility work, and recovery protocols. Restore the body and reinforce the adaptations made during training.
The 7 Rs framework applies to every training session at Kamba Fit — from youth athletes in their first session to advanced adults at the Shujaa level. Structure creates consistency. Consistency creates results.

Performance Tracking
Regular assessments and the Four Pillars scoring system to measure and celebrate progress.
THE KAMBA FIT
BATTERY TEST
We don't guess. We measure.
We don't guess. We measure. Every 6 weeks, every athlete in the KambaFit Youth Performance System is tested across four key athletic metrics using OVR sprint and jump technology. The results are objective, trackable, and drive every training decision for the next cycle. No opinions. No guessing. Just data.
Training frequency: 2–4 days per week. Testing cycle: every 6 weeks.
Measures how high an athlete can jump from a standing position. Directly tied to sprint acceleration, rebounding, and first-step explosiveness.
Tests the ability to project force forward. A strong predictor of sprint speed and lower-body power output across all sports.
Timed over 10 yards from a flying start. Isolates pure acceleration — the most sport-relevant speed metric for athletes ages 8–18.
A lateral agility drill that measures how quickly an athlete can decelerate, change direction, and re-accelerate. Critical for every field and court sport.
Every number tells a story. Every cycle writes the next chapter.
Most youth programs train on feel. KambaFit trains on data. The Battery Test gives Coach Chris an objective snapshot of where every athlete stands — not based on how hard they worked last week, but on what their body actually produced. That number determines the training focus, the intensity, and the goal for the next 6 weeks.
Train smarter. Grow faster. The data shows the way.
THE FOUR
PILLARS
Every athlete is placed in a pillar based on their Battery Test scores. Pillars drive the training program — not age, not sport, not opinion.
Entry level. Building the base — movement quality, body control, and foundational strength. Every athlete starts here.
Developing. Movement patterns are solid. The athlete is beginning to express athleticism in testing — scores are climbing.
Competitive. Scores are above average. Sport-specific performance is accelerating — the athlete is becoming a real threat.
Elite tier. Top scores across all metrics. Training shifts to maintaining peak performance and sport-specific refinement.
We test every 6 weeks using OVR sprint & jump technology — real numbers, real progress. No guessing.
Every athlete gets a printed report card showing their scores, pillar level, and training focus for the next cycle.
Your athlete's numbers tell us exactly where to focus each training block. The data drives the program.
We track athletes across years — so you can see exactly how much they've grown from day one.

REAL RESULTS.
REAL PEOPLE.
Working with Chris Wambua has been fantastic for my kids. Chris is exceptionally knowledgeable and focuses heavily on proper form to prevent injury. He managed to take my kids’ raw energy and channel it into specific, measurable skills. They are now much more coordinated and confident in their sport. The positive atmosphere keeps them motivated to work hard.
Going to Kamba has been a great experience for me both in the gym and out. Chris is great at providing personal attention and holding me accountable. I leave Kamba feeling stronger, energized, clear-headed and ready to take on whatever the day or week brings.
I have been doing Kamba Fit since my later high school days back in 2016. Now at 28 years old, I have taken everything I have learned from them to get myself into the best shape I've ever been in.
