I ordered this video from Collage because I enjoy martial arts inspired moves and I love step, and it's rare to find a video that combines the two. And the fact that Collage listed Kung Fu Step as a "staff favorite" certainly didn't hurt.

First of all, I have to say that I agree with the previous reviewer that while Collage lists this tape as beginner/intermediate level, it's really an intermediate level workout. I think a beginner may have trouble with some of the high kicks, and the intensity is also more intermediate than beginner. The choreography is pretty basic; lots of familiar steps, but with a Kung Fu flavor. For instance, you're punching and blocking while doing repeaters or the rocking horse. There are lots of different strike, block, and kick combinations. The workout is entirely low impact, but it's easy to modify it to include some power moves. All in all, a good choice for intermediate (or perhaps advanced beginners) steppers who are looking for something a little different.
