Written Summary:
Sang H. Kim does it
again! Another video from the good folks at Turtle Press packed with techniques.
This is pretty much a 3 tape series, sold seperately, that focuses on improving physical
attributes. The last one of these we reviewed covered 32 techniques in 30 minutes.
This one covered 47 techniques in 30 minutes! Now is that moving through a tape or
what? And once again it's on a tape that you can get for as low as $20.00 (when you
purchase 5 or more)! As said before, all martial arts video companies, take note,
I'm not usually a fan of short tapes, but if you've got to make one, this is the
way you provide consumers outstanding value. There was no needless repetition, to
make one feel dollars were being wasted as the tape rolled on, no long winded explanations
of things, and Mr. Kim pretty much gets right into the meat of things, and quickly
goes from one idea to the next.
Mr. Kim rapidly takes the viewer through
various exercises and drills that can help increase their Power, Strength, and Stamina
for TKD, and probably other kicking arts as well. In this video we are shown:
Power:
30 drills
Strength: 15 drills
Stamina: 2 drills
Another good tape from
the folks at Turtle Press.
