This DVD is truly a must have. The interactive screens allow you to jump directly to the kick that you want to see, and the number of kicks that are presented is amazing. No other video on the market has the detailed descriptions or the number of kicks in a single DVD. KIM Sang H. has done a wonderful job. Keep up the good work.

If you can only afford to buy one kicking instructional DVD, get this one. Sang H. Kim works progressively from the very basics (front kick, roundhouse kick) to combination kicking, jumping kicks, spinning kicks and multiple kicks with the same leg, which I've never seen my instructor teach. What I love about this DVD is that I can use it to learn and get pointers on some of the intermediate kids while my son, who is a black belt, learned a whole bunch of new jumping kicks that he couldn't wait to show off to his black belt friends. A nice bonus is the way the menu is set up - you can chose the kick you want to learn or practice and go right to it rather than trying to fast forward or rewind to find things. It's a small detail but saves lots of time and frustration when you're working out and don't want to waste time fiddling with your remote control.

This dvd is very easy to understand, all the techniques are really easy to practice, I practice Tae Kwon Do at the University and i've found this stuff good for beginners, it goes from the simple kick through the most powerful and awesome kick.
Although there are several techniques to perform it's still a good material to learn...

Everyone has to start somewhere, and this dvd does just that. It starts the practitioner right at the beginning. The level of complexity rises the further you go into the dvd. Stances are discussed; varying camera angles are given. Will this aid the person who's been studying for years? Not really. Will it aid a child who may need extra time to get a kick right? Definitely. Will it enhance an adult who is trying to "remember" how to do certain techniques? Yes. It's never to late to get back to basics.

I bought this when I was just getting started in taekwondo so I could review at home and almost a year later, I still use it to review each kick as I learn it in class. The kicks taught here go well beyond black belt so it's something you'll be able to use for quite a few years as you progress through the belts. I like the many views of each kick and the slow motion allows me to pick up the little things that I don't catch in class. Very useful DVD and well worth the price!

This DVD is no substitute for a master, but still, the kicks are clearly shown, from different angles and slow and normal motion. Interested viewers can also easily analyze the more subtle parts of kicking, like positions of knees, feet, how much knees are bent etc. The different types of kicks are also conveniently indexed in the disc: you can move directly to the kick you want to view or practise. Definitely recommended for coloured belts. Instructors might also want to have a look at this DVD.

This DVD covers kicks from beginner to black belt. The kicks are explained clearly as they are demonstrated. A great supplement to class.

If you need excellent training material to reference on TKD kicking, this is it. The quality is excellent and the repetitive views of each technique is invaluable to the learner. I would recommend this DVD without reservation. Only for serious students.

I thought this DVD was excellent. I study a martial art that does not do much kicking. I received this DVD as a gift and it taught me a number of very good kicks to incorporate into my practice and sparring. The instruction was clear and the quality of the production is outstanding. I highly recommend this product.

I have experience in Japanese style Karate from the past and I'm looking to join a TaeKwonDo Dojan near my house soon so I bought this DVD to practice my kicks a little bit before I join. I was pretty impressed by the instructions. Sang H. Kim demonstrates each technique many times in full time, slow motion, against targets, and practical application so that you can fully grasp the technique and even do it with the video. He covers what seems to me as all the basic kicks and advanced ways to apply them. Really nice DVD for anyone looking to learn versatile kicking.
