Kick Butt with Kristoff St. John

Badrino
Year Released: 1999

Categories: Boxing/Kickboxing/Martial Arts


This is an intermediate kickboxing tape. It has very little cueing, three exercisers who all seem to be following with no one leading. The cueing is fairly nonexistent. None of these are really a problem because the tape is pretty easy to follow. I wouldn't recommend this as a first tape since there is really no instructions on properly doing the moves. But if you've done aerobox or Stephanie Steele's kickboxing this shouldn't be any problem. I've seen complaints about the loud music, but I love loud thumping music, and really enjoy the music on this tape. Its well worth seven dollars, and if you are int/adv or adv, I think this would be a good tape to use to get used to weighted gloves. Its a keeper for me unless some day I become advanced at kickboxing.

Instructor Comments:
The video is really led by Bardrino, a kickbox champ and "trainer to the stars", whatever that means. There is a female voiceover that does some of the cueing and the form pointers. It doesn't really seem as though anyone is leading this tape, just 3 people following a routine cued by the heavens.
