All right, so I bought this DVD with hopes of something new to add to my yoga collection.
I though it would be a hybrid of yoga and martial arts. What it is EXACTLY is two
entirely unrelated segments. One segment is slow vinyasa flow. I mean slow. The
second segment is tae kwon do kicks and punches. There was no cross pollenation.
I thought maybe he'd do a kick sequence then a yoga vinyasa or something like that.
It was TOTALLY separate. It was the most boring thing I have ever seen and I am
not inspired to even do this video. The package comes with 3 workouts, 50, 40 and
30 minutes. They are exactly the same. The only difference is that he has less
pauses for the 40 minute martial arts section and no pauses for the 30 minute martial
arts section. What else can I say. Maybe the LIve Budokon classes are fun and
interesting, but not this DVD. I wasted $27.00 on this one. Wish I could take
it back.
Yoga Poses
slow vinyasa ( not a & B sun salutations)
triangle
crescent lunge
side angle
Very very basic, no inversions, backbends or balancings
Martial arts
twisting punches
different kicks. Keep in mind that he uses a sticky mat on a hard wood floor.
You'll have to move off of your mat to do kicks or you'll slip.
The students
They look bored to death, no smiles no energy.
All in all, I hated this DVD. Don't waste your money. If you want power yoga go
buy a power yoga DVD. If you want martial arts, go buy a martial arts DVD. Or
better yet take a live Budokon class. It's got to be livier than this DVD.
