Janis is just not my cup of tea.

It's taken me three tapes to figure this out, all of which I've traded or sold after the first viewing. The review's on VF say the cueing improved on Ringside Kick It over the earlier CIA's, and that's true to some extent but I still find myself being tripped up by choreography that's really simple, but doesn't flow.

I find her overall emphasis, choice of choreography and timing to be foreign to my tastes. Her moves don't flow for my body. She does alot of needless hi impact (filler jumping jacks, for instance). Maybe it's a personality conflict, she annoys me. I spend considerable time staring at the clock during her tapes.

I prefer Debbie Burns, Arron Lankford and Cathe Friedrich for kickboxing. I haven't tried PowerStrike but it sounds like something I'd enjoy, of course, so did Janis!
