What Kickboxing?!! November 29, 2008
After having actually worked out to people like Billy Blanks' Tae Bo and another kickboxing DVD I was looking to switch things up. So disappointed that this mainly focuses on training for actual matches instead of kickboxing to music which is what I expected. The "headups" in the first segment...just annoying. The "crab crawls" in the second or third segment...for what? If you're used to Tae Bo or Cathe Freidrech's Kick Max...skip this DVD.

Good, short, conditioning workout. November 4, 2008
I am glad this DVD is not a kickboxing aerobic workout.

That being said, this DVD may not help you workout to the point where you will break a sweat.

But, what it will do is help you develop overall, coordination, GPP (general physical preparedness) and provide a means to have a great short workout, when you are crunched on time.

This DVD will get you moving. People with neck injuries I would say to skip the neck exercises and substitute with something else, shoulder shrugs, arm swings, etc.

Tiffany and Max Chen are good instructors, the set is pleasant and music is very much in the background.

I plan to add this as an extra work out on my recovery days, when I do not feel like going full force, but want to still move around.

Great for improving your stamina, strength and form! October 29, 2008

Perhaps this DVD would be better titled "Secrets of Kung Fu Kickboxers" or "Kung Fu Kickboxing Conditioning". It's not a cardio kickboxing workout like Tae Bo, but rather a series of conditioning drills which will improve your stamina, core strength and form.

My only complaint, as noted by some other reviewers, is that the warm-up and stretching segments are a bit too short, but it's easy to use segments from another DVD, or just do your own warm-up and stretch.

I work out with professional boxers and many of the drills here are similar to the ones we do in class. Whether you attend kickboxing classes, or are learning from DVDs, "The Kung Fu Kickboxing Workout" will complement your practice. It's beautifully produced and a lot of fun too - I highly recommend it!

A Perfect Workout!!! September 13, 2008
I love this DVD! You get three 20-minute workouts plus an intro. If you are new to kickboxing (like I was) please start with the intro and the first workout if you feel ready, then work up from there. The most advanced 20-min workout on the DVD is aptly titled "The Killer" and I am not quite there yet because it takes practice, but I am drenched with sweat after the intermediate workout ("The Kicker"). This is a perfect workout on "cardio days" if you like to lift weights as well as do cardio. It will really kick your butt, no matter what your fitness level is. VERY creative, good instruction throughout, great teachers with tons of credentials and super likeable personalities, good background music (not annoying techno, which unfortunately some of my other faves have).

Great pace, good vibe, exercises that really work, likable personalities! September 8, 2008

I have kickboxed competitively and I appreciated the legitimacy of the exercises and what they could do for you, whether you want to learn real fighting moves and technique or just want an effective workout. Since my husband and I also worked as film crew on another unrelated workout DVD that was high in quality and aesthetics, as well as a good workout, we were buying this for comparison's sake. We were pleased with the quality of this DVD, the Chens' explanations and tips, the pacing, and the options for choosing the level of difficulty of the workout. It is visually appealing, and feels comfortable and intimate, like you are there having a workout with friends introducing you to their sport. These are likable people, experts in their sport, and very good at guiding you through a workout that may be foreign to you at first. This is better than a typical gym kickboxing workout geared towards people who will never go into martial arts, without being scary or too hardcore for that same audience. It works for people already in martial arts, and beginners as well. Way to go Max! I knew you could fight like the Mad Dog you are, I have seen plenty of your matches, but this really impressed me on a different level!
