Summary: perfect for beginner kick-boxers
Comment: This video got me back into working out. It is fun to do and never borning. The moves are easy to learn and it is broken down into segments (punching, aerobic, kicking, weights, and abs) so no one aspect lasts too long. I have had this video for 3 1/2 years, have done it 150+ times and I still love it. As I have become more advanced I use it now as a quick morning workout or I do it before strength training. I highly recommend it for a beginner. I love it so much that when my previous video was damaged I couldn't wait to order a new one. I wish I could get it on DVD so I can have it for years to come!

Summary: Great complete no-nonsense workout!
Comment: If you are looking for a really good no-nonsense workout, then this is the exercise video for you. No cutesy girly girls in scimpy outfits here. This is a serious workout for serious people. The 3 people on the video actually sweat it out with you. The music is a nice heart reving techno to get you pumped up. The setting is a really cool boxing ring, instead of a bright, bland studio. The instructions for kickboxing basics on on the screen in the beginning. The workout starts with a true warm-up. The next section is the aerobic section, that starts off with punches and graduates to kicsk. The 3rd section is the free weights/dumbell section, which you should have a 10-20 lbs. set. (That's 5-10 lbs. in each hand.) No "Barbie wieghts" here. Be prepared to do lots of slow reps. The 4th section is the killer abs section. You will definately feel your abs work by the time Badrino is done with you. Finally the last section is the stretching, which he will stretch you to your limits like the true martial artist he is. This tape is definately worth the money.

Summary: Fun and Funny
Comment: For a beginner, this video may be quite challenging physically, but the sequences are easy to catch on to. The music correlates with the moves, and was very energizing and fun. Although the cueing wasn't always very clear, since the sequences were not complicated, it was no problem to catch on late. There was no instructional segment, but veteran kickboxers will appreciate not having to fast-forward through them.The cardio section, featuring lots of leg lifts, front kicks, and of course, loads and loads of jabs, is quite exciting. The moves change often enough to keep boredom at bay. I felt my abdominal muscles really working, since I pay attention to them and use them in my kicks.
After the warmup and cardio segment and a short cooldown, they move on to a challenging set of arm, chest, and back exercises. They recommend 5-10 pound weights. My arms were worn out after that, and each segment worked the focus muscle to exhaustion. I plan on doing this video every other day just for this muscle-building segment.
After the arms, chest, and back, Badrino moves to a series of abdominal exercises. These will probably not be challenging to people who have already been working their abdominals for a while.
Finally, there is a long, but not boring, series of stretches. That man sure is flexible. I think my body will become far more flexible in time, and that flexibility is necessary for high kicks.
I think men would enjoy this workout as well as women. There are no dancy moves, and the arms and chest section focuses on parts that men are concerned about (pecs and biceps). In addition, there are two male exercisers and only one female. I am personally not a man, so this is just my humble opinion.
Badrino's cueing could be a bit louder, but I like him. He has the same kind of charisma that Billy Blanks has. Besides, I think he's got a great body, and I certainly don't mind watching him. He's also encouraging, which is nice.

Summary: kick butt kicks your butt
Comment: I just recently purchased this video through Amazon.com, which by the way is excellent in service. I thought the video was above average. I really loved the feel of the boxing rink and enjoyed all the participants. Badrino is adorable, so you overlook his mistakes. Kristoff does a good job and puts alot into the look and feel of the video. Jackie is great to follow and very pleasing to the eyes. Overall I really liked this video and plan to purchase kick butt 11.
