I join the crowd who says, "Debbie Burns is the best kickbox instructor in video". This was a very enjoyable tape with many interesting change-ups and combinations. Debbie's training as a serious boxer, kick-boxer, and martial artist shines through.

There is a warm up, two aerobics sections (first boxing, then kickboxing - the kickboxing segment has more complicated combinations and some intensity drills), then a standing ab workout which is very unique, then what Debbie calls stretching but I would call core strength training. If you're looking for a few minutes of relaxation at the end of the tape, don't look here! The "stretching" segments includes plank work, push ups and lunges!

Alot of kickboxing videos turn me off because, well, martial arts are, by nature, sort of intense, and I like an instructor to display the intensity they demand (I had trouble with Desaulier's Kamakaze for this reason). I'm not saying it can't be fun, and even light-hearted, but I like attention to proper form, use of the "chamber" when punching and kicking", some sense that even if we're just knocking around with it a bit, it is a fighting technique.

Debbie delivers. She's just a pro. It's a fun tape to do, and a tape I can grow with. She uses real boxing terms. She obviously loves the practice and has worked hard at creating a enjoyable, well choreographed routine. The routine had more hi-impact moves than I would prefer. There are jumps, jumping jacks, and other moves that I modify.

I loved the students in this class. There are two men and two women. They had great form and terrific attitude.
