I bought this tape from Muscle Mixes to go along with the tape for my kickboxing classes and to learn some new combinations. What a pleasant surprise! Although the production quality is not that great, the workout, music and instructors are excellent! It looks like it is a taping of an actual class at a club. The workout is challenging, fun and different. The combinations are quick, not too difficult to learn and make for a tough workout. They only thing I wasn't crazy about was that you workout one side of your body for a long time, before moving onto the next, although you do the exact same things on each side for a balanced workout. Some may enjoy that aspect of the tape. You learn the combinations completely on one side before repeating the series on the next, so you tend to work a little harder on the second side because you already know what you are doing. The instructors perform moves in an add-on style, mixing kicks and punches together into interesting combinations. They discuss form and demonstrate very well. I will use this tape often and look forward to perfecting the moves. A solid A. (Comes in a white sleeved box.)

Instructor Comments:
Both female instructors are excellent. Their cuing is right on and they are smiling and having fun throughout the tape. Great motivators as well. The class looks like they are having a blast. Ilaria is a black belt and martial artist and Patricia is an aerobic prsent and choreographer.
