5.0 out of 5 stars saved me more than once, June 16, 2005

By	Mark Quinn (St Louis, MO) - See all my reviews

This DVD has gotten me through more than one belt test. It's a great way to review each poomse at home so you don't have to spend a lot time bothering the higher ranking students in your class for help when you forget a movement. I use it to practice each new form as I learn it from my instructor and to review all of my lower belt forms for testing. The different views (front, side, rear, etc) make it easy to see the movements and Master Kim's performance is top notch. Just don't let anyone borrow your copy or you'll have to nag them to get it back.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great way to review your forms, April 27, 2005

By	Beast Novot (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This video by Master Sang H Kim is an excellent review of the first 8 WTF forms for colored belt testing. As such, it does not teach the basics (how to step, block, punch, etc). Instead it gives three demonstrations on how to perform the form (at full speed) and a step by step walkthrough. I have found it very beneficial to my review of forms, and have learned some new ones which were not included in my training. I use it on a regular basis and recommend it.

That being said, the production quality is not the highest, and it appears to have been filmed in someone's backyard (a very nice backyard, however!). However, the purpose of the video is to review forms in a concise educational manner, and I feel that an excellent job was done with this goal in mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the DVD format!, April 14, 2003

By	Andy Myers (Newport News, VA) - See all my reviews

I had this title on video and it was one of the first DVDs I bought after getting my player for christmas. Not only is the DVD picture clearer and sharper, the audio quality is better than on the tape as well.

But the best part is the way the menu lets you jump around without spending time searching by way of fast forward or rewind. If you're reviewing for a test or need a quick refresher of the forms, you can work on #4 then jump right to #2 or #8 without having to keep stopping and checking for the form you need, like you would with a tape. I also liked the bonus footage of the applications. While we don't practice these at my school, it's nice to know what the movements are supposed to be for. A great DVD - I definitely recommend to anyone doing WTF style TKD.
