After reading Michelle's review of this video I thought I would give it a try. It's a steal for 14.55 (w/shipping) at totale.com. Amazon carries it too for a few bucks more. I won't go into a detailed review since she has already done that but I will give my opinion which I know you'all are just waiting for!

Michelle is definately correct in that this is an advanced level workout. You have to have experience in kickboxing to try this video. I have been kickboxing since 1996 so this is a perfect tape for me. I remember when I started one of the only tapes was Stephanie Steeles Knockout tape. The format of this video reminds me of her video in that it tells you what moves you will be doing next as Dewey shows you. Then you do them on each side for a specific number of reps.

I like this tape because there are kicks in each section. I love roundhouse kicks and almost all of the sections include them. I have only done this tape once and I did have to modify a little. I concentrated more on the kicks and fumbled some with the punches. The more I do this tape the easier it will get. As far as the format goes, I really like it. I prefer CIA tapes, I thought Kathy Smiths was okay and I don't like Tae-bo. I think it is because Dewey is teaching solo, I prefer tapes with solo instructors. I also really LOVE the fact that he doesn't instruct or even say a word during the workout. I turn up the surround sound and blast the music. I didn't even check the clock to see how much longer I have to go. The only other tape I haven't done that with is my new Latin Groove from CIA. This tape will definately go in my heavy rotation, probably more than any other!! If you are looking for a tough straightfoward kickboxing workout you have to have this one!!
