Viva la difference! I am neither as disappointed as one reviewer nor as in love as the other with this.

Pros: Good cuing (although sometimes I had to catch up after seeing the first rep of a new combo), bouncy soundtrack (I recognized some old instrumental beats from the early 2000s) and brisk pace. The combos were creative. I understand the complaint about kicking with the "wrong" foot but for me it wasn't a big deal. The bursts were tough but stopped just short of being monotonously repetitive.

Cons: Production value was rather like the infamous SCW videos - homemade. The sound was kind of echo-y. Some of the moves were more strange than effective (i.e., in one burst you sort of reach down to pat the floor, then stand up and jog a couple of seconds).

I love kickboxing workouts and tend to forgive a lot of flaws. Overall, the pros of this one beat out the cons for me. I didn't quite see what was so hip-hoppy about it. Her punches certainly weren't the crispest, but that didn't affect my punches.

Instructor Comments:
Down-to-earth, not too jokey or hyper or chatty.
