Customer Review: True its just an Intro. Tape. Not a true example of Master K
This review is partly a response to Msmitty's review. In defense of MasterK. The tape was developed by a third party who appeared one day at the gym and pretty much dictated the content of the tape. Quite simply, they attempted to make money using MasterK on the tape.

For a true example of MasterK's ability, I recommend that a serious Muay Thai student check out Master K's website http://www.masterkelbowko.com/ and order his other videos. They are much better and provide better instruction. Also there are video clips on the website demostrating MasterK working through some drills.. While watching the drills keep in mind MasterK is now in his 60s. I don't know too many 60+ grandfathers who has the fitness and ability of MasterK as well as breadth of knowledge.

As for the other review questiong MasterK's ability. If you think the video speaks volumes of this ability, I question the type of "muay thai" instruction you receive. True in some gyms you see students who look like they belong in the K1 and that other reviewer complained that the students in MasterK's video looked amateurish, well for one.. Some of MasterK's students are amateur. MasterK isn't looking to hit it big and retire from his Muay Thai videos. This is a man who enjoys teaching Muay Thai. I trained with MasterK for a couple of years and I can definitely say he knows his stuff. MasterK believes in teaching the art of real Muay Thai and not just trying to make a quick buck advertising in black belt magazine (MasterK did have a center article on Muay Thai in the March 2004 BlackBelt Magazine).

By the way..students of the martial arts shouldn't assume that a "video" is the end all of an instructors abilities. Get off your lazy ass and attend a class or research the instructor. Just because they weren't on the K1, UFC, Pride, or their name wasn't Alex Gong (God rest his soul) doesn't mean the instructor is horrible. Many great instructors dont have videos but have a huge underground/city/neighborhood following.

As for this video. It's not a bad video, but you would be better served by going to MasterK's website and ordering his other 4 videos which are a better representation of his ab ilities. They are well worth the money.

Customer Review: A good look at Muay Thai
I'm surprised by some of the reviews here. I was really impressed by Master K and his teaching. The students on the tape are a pretty typical class - a few beginners, a few average guys and a couple of really tough looking guys I would not want to meet in the ring. The instruction is solid, especially if you have some experience. I really liked the little tips and tricks that Master K tossed out throughout the two videos. A few times I had to rewind and listen again because his accent is a bit hard to understand, but that wasn't a problem most of the time.

The reviewer who wrote that the filming was random and shot with a camcorder must have some kind of axe to grind because the filming is excellent quality for a martial arts vidoes. I've seen some amaturishly filmed tapes and this isn't one of them. If you're into Muay Thai or looking for some supplemental full contact training, check out this tape. More Information
