First off, I loved this video! Just straightforward kickboxing, no breaking down combos, no long explanations.

Michelle gave a great breakdown of this video, so I'll just add my impressions of it. I got the video (brand-new) for $6 including shipping from half.com, and it was absolutely worth it! I love that it has kicks throughout, and that Dewey doesn't keep stopping to explain the next move. Instead, between each combo he goes to a split screen shot that shows the next move and how many reps you'll do. You can practice the combo with him, then start in on it right away. This video got my heartrate up right away and kept it there, unlike other kickboxing videos that aren't intense enough.

However, this video IS only about 30 minutes long, so it's maybe a good add-on video for a day when you also want to do weights or yoga or something else (I did Angles, Lines, Curves afterwards, what a contrast!) I would even suggest doing another video's warm up and maybe weights, then Dawei, then the other video's cool down.

You definitely have to be an experienced kickboxer to do Dawei, because NONE of the punches or kicks are ever explained. The music is sometimes Mortal Kombat-y, sometimes techno-y. Dewey doesn't always go with the beat, with bothers my rhythmic sensibilities a bit, but doesn't detract from the workout.

Again, I love the pure kickboxing in this video, I'll be using it for a while. It's going to take me a long time to be able to do those hopping roundhouse kicks! Don't be scared off by the lack of cuing or background exercisers, if you want a truly challenging kickboxing video, this is it!

Instructor Comments:
I can't really comment on the instructor, other than to say that he looks very professional and has good form.
