Rating: - Good for beginners, great verbal instruction on proper form
This is great for beginners. Keli is alone & teaches you w/o distraction in 1/2 time or slower throughout the entire dvd proper form for kickboxing so you don't get sloppy & possibly injure yourself.
It's broken down into a 17 min. instruction & 3 workouts each one adding more punches & kicks.
Although I liked she went slow, I found it a bit boring. A martial arts friend said her form was fine. I'm picky about body awareness & though she moved well, I look for a workout that emphasizes on using this for self defense one day. Hence emphasizing on putting real energy & all you can into the kicks & punches. Her emphasis was on working out alone & seemed almost wimpy.

Rating: - To clear up any misconceptions...
...this IS, in fact, a video for beginners. In case anyone was wondering.
That said, although I AM a beginning kickboxer, I am not mentally or physically deficient, so I found the mind-numbing repetition of this video to be somewhat off-putting. However, it is an excellent resource for those attempting to teach themselves kickboxing. While I wouldn't make it my daily (or weekly, or even monthly) workout, I will go to the Top Ten segment to refresh my back kick ever so often. I say this with a note of caution: even beginners get bored.
However, I love Keli Roberts, and her personality and style (not to mention the fact that she's actually DOING the workouts) make me smile every time I watch one of her videos. I would definitely suggest this to anyone looking for a reference for kickboxing form.
Rating: - Excellent workout video!
As an amateur kick boxer, this tape was perfect for a routine workout to keep me in shape. Excellent!
Rating: - A gem for DUMMIES
This is a wonderful DVD for those new to kickboxing. Since it is for "DUMMIES" that automatically lets you know who it is designed for-BEGINNERS. With that being the case, she goes slow so you do each and every move correctly and safely. She also has a nice paced routine to utilize all of the moves she taught slowly during the tutorial section. I highly recommend this DVD. Keli Roberts really does a great job helping beginners, like me, learn such an exciting exercise.
Rating: - The best
This was the best purchase I ever made on amazon.
She teaches you everything in the step-by-step top 10 tutorial- She goes slow and makes sure you are doing it right, it seems as if she's almost next to you showing in person, that's how good of a teacher she is.
I would recommend this video to everyone who wants to learn kickboxing.
