4.0 out of 5 stars for intermediate and above, November 12, 2004
This review is from: Muay Thai Knockout (DVD)
The only reason I hgave this a four star rating is that it is not catered to beginners and not exactly an instructional tape. It is filled with pearls and gold nuggets though. If you are a beginner you may want to try duke roufus's set. By far, the best technically beginners set is muay thai beginning and advanced sets by Surachai Sirisute, founder of thai boxing in this country. Getting back to Master K's videos- these are videos of Master K working with his students using the thai pads and heavy bag. After getting a basic knowledge of the basic muay thai techniques these tapes can be referred to for a treasure chest of pearls and gold nuggets. They are an excellent resource to any martial arts library and gave me a great deal more of the finer nuances of techniques and when/how ot throw them. This video would have gotten a five star rating but they did not because they dont express they are more for intermediates than beginnners. Besides that I dont believe you can go wrong by purchasing anything fom Master K.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lots of tips and training insight, May 31, 2006
This review is from: Muay Thai Knockout (DVD)
The format of this DVD is more seminar or class workout than a step by step instructional. You can tell by watching Master K that he's spent a lot of years in the ring. He has to be in his 50s but he demonstrations kicks and strikes full power on his students and knocks more than one of them across the floor. As he coaches students, demonstrates and explains the techniques here, he drops in a lot of important little tips and insight. I've watched this DVD three times now and each time I find something else to take back to the gym and work on. This isn't a DVD for beginners but if you have some ring experience, you'll definitely find some wisdom here. Well worth the price of admission.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Bad but Not Great, November 26, 2004
By Anthony Brady (Syracuse, NY, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Muay Thai Knockout (DVD)
Unfortunately for this DVD, I viewed the four-set DVD's by Saekson Janjira first. That was a magnificent example of well thought out presentation and teaching ability.

Compared to the Janjira series, this single DVD seemed disjointed and not thorough in explaining and showing the various techniques. That is understandable - you can't cover in one DVD what another covers in four DVD's.

Overall, this is a good DVD that covers a lot of territory including various techniques, combinations, history and ritual.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nice to watch, but NOT a good instructional.
Master K is awesome, no doubt, but this dvd is merely an overview of Muay Thai and not an instructional teaching aid. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars A vague dvd with helpful tips here and there...
This dvd is done so that you are "there" with the teacher while he teaches his students. His explainations as well as the subjects talked about are vague. Read more
