Written Summary:
This is the second
in a two tape series by Marco Lala that deals with an in depth look at kicking. On
this tape, Mr. Lala takes us on a very thorough look at thirteen kicks which are
well known to most martial artists. These kicks are more advanced than the kicks
on the first video in this series. Much time is spent by Mr. Lala on the training
methods to make these kicks effective, and a great deal of information is contained
on this video. This video follows the the same format as the first video as it walks
the viewer through each kick, the traditional training method for each kick, and
up and down stepping drill for each kick, a free style sparring session featuring
each kick, and a heavy bag workout for each kick. Many of the kicks on this video
are jumping kicks or spinning kicks, which are generally not regarded as useful in
street situations. However, the point Mr. Lala makes about these kicks is that by
training these more difficult kicks, the more street effective simpler kicks are
made more effective also. In my opinion, the training presented on this tape is very
rigorous and would be an good regimen for attaining and maintaining a high level
of fitness.
This video is recommended to anyone interested in an in depth
study of the more advanced kicks common to many martial arts. It's an good tape for
the novice, and the experienced martial artist will find it a great review of the
fundamentals for crescent, jumping, and spinning kicks.
