Power Kickboxing

Denise Austin
Year Released: 2000

Categories: Boxing/Kickboxing/Martial Arts


I would not consider myself new to martial arts by any means. I am a college student who had to give up my Martial Art training due to schedule conflicts with classes. I attempted this video, thinking that Denise would be well educated in technique, and motivating. I found that it was basically a Tae-bo rip off. The other videos of hers I have throughly enjoyed, but I found that this was simply her catching the latest trend to make a buck. I felt that her claiming to teach proper technique in her advertising was a lie. I also found that she expected us to read her mind while we were working out. The video is extremely difficult to follow.

Instructor Comments:
Denise's is cuing is terrible, I found the moves and combinations poorly explained. I also found that the form with the exception of posture was poor. Denise left out the most important parts of technique (putting your entire body into a punch, and chambering, executing and re-chambering a kick).
