I have mixed feelings about this video. I should start by saying that the content is really very good. Even so, the video is dated and more than a little cornball at times (the music video elements). The soundtrack is pedantic. Overall, it drives me crazy. However, my boys (3 and 8 years old) LOVE IT! My oldest son has been asking to study martial arts for a while now. We bought the video as a Christmas present to see if he would focus and take it seriously before we spent money on lessons.

The video instruction is progressive but easy to follow. It is not content rich but is content sound. The kids are getting great exercise. My 3 year old is hysterical to watch. Not the highest quality video all around but, for us, it was worth every penny.

My 9 year-old son just loves this video. The instruction is great. Quality of the video is very good. There are three levels which include stretches, instruction and practice. Each session includes one adult instructor with four children as participants. My son now uses this video once every two days announcing "I'm going to do my exercises!" as he heads upstairs. He's learned an amazing amount in a short period of time and now knows enough about karate to go looking for a class.

It is a good tape for kids. My daughter(a yellow belt) likes it because it has 3 levels of basic karate. Level 1 she finds easy. Level 2 is a little more challenging. She likes level 3; She says it has more self defense moves than what is offered in her classes.

Tons of information, lot more than I expected. The instruction is clear and precise, I bet my 9 year old son will like it.

Perhaps geared towards 5 or 6 year olds but doesn't have much to do with karate. I was hoping it would help my daughter practice or improve her karate, She is 8 and was a white belt but this video was no help at all.

I exercise to this tape with my kids. We're all sweating at the end. We're not tired of it yet. We alternate with other exercise programs throughout the week. We use this one at least twice a week. My three year old even loves it and begs to exercise to it on the days we're doing another program.

I purchesed this video after trying to enrole my, at the time 2 year old, son in Tae Kwon Do. He did not have the attention span for in class lessons, but he does participate with the video at home. Also, by watching this video with him I am hoping he will be interested in Tae Know Do when he is ready for class instruction.

Bought for son, to verify his interest before signing him up for classes. He loves it and works out to it on a regular basis.

This was a good investment for us. My husband really loves Karate, and was hoping our son would be just as interested in it. This DVD really helped my son to see what Karate is all about, and make up his mind about it before we really invested money into classes. He decided not to take classes, but friends of his, who we have shared this video with, have decided they want to try it.

I got this for my nephew who is three. He adores it. It is definitely a product of the 80s but for young children, its perfect!
