Summary: excellent workout
Comment: I like this marriage between Tai Chi and kickboxing. Very well-done. Easy to follow for a beginner. You don't have to get it right the first time. I like the instructors, and the music is nice.

Summary: Wonderful workout
Comment: What makes this workout fun and wonderful,for me, is the slow and fast set of the Tai-Chi and kickboxing routines. I also enjoy the friendly personalities and the chemistry of the two instructors who alternate leading the routines. The Tai-Chi exercises are the slow intervals , led by Scott Cole. He is very helpful in describing on how to make the movements work for you. It's do-able for beginners. Next, the lovely Janis Saffell leads the kickboxing routines, which is the fast set. You should know some kickboxing moves to performs these. When I'm done, I know I've completed a strength, cardio and stretch program all at once!

Summary: Solid work-out!
Comment: This is a good and solid work-out dvd with the great instructions, attitude and motivation one has come to expect from Janis Saffell. In this dvd she is working together with Scott Cole, Tai Chi Master. Janis and Scott refer to the work out as the Jing/Yang, which is very true. I feel very good, emotionally, after I have done this work out even though I am not sweating in the same way as after a regular kick-boxing class. For approx. 54 minutes Janis and Scott alternate between tai chi moves and classic kick-boxing moves. Even though I was not working up a great sweat, I still felt every part of my body afterwards. I highly recommend this as an addition to your work-out library. I do this dvd about 1-2 times a week.

Summary: Love it!
Comment: I really love this dvd. I've never done tai chi before, so that part was an introduction for me. It is a fun, low-medium impact workout. It is a really nice combination of kick-boxing and tai chi. I enjoy it, and would recommend it, especially as something a little different.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Not a good mix
Comment: I really like Janis and the kickboxing portion of this workout but i don't like the mix of Tai Chi and kickboxing. Tai Chi is very, very slow (i almost felt like it is interpretive dance) and, of course, kickboxing is very high energy. The mix just didn't work for me. I feel like Janis and Scott were dating and just decided that they should do an exercise video together.
