Combat Muay Thai 3 - Fitness and Self Defense

Customer Review: some tips on strikes, basic conditioning, simple plyometrics
This is probably the weakest of the 3 tape series by the "Sleeper". Walter does show some basic conditioning exercises which include plyometric jumps on and off the ring platform, skip knees using the ropes, uphill windsprints, dumbell incline presses, push presses, and some neck exercises without weights (no bridges). He also gives an overview of the basic thai strikes. He gives very little explanation of the mechanics/technical aspects of the strikes. It would be better assumed you are at intermediate level knowing the basics and how to throw them effectively. Some interesting tips Ive never seen before about the switch kick and teep. This aspect of thai training is where Walter's strength lies and which he would be able to exploit into more videos. It is clear he is very knowledgeable in muay thai and has trained awhile in thailand. I wish he would produce more with that theme. His sleeper machine is using the cable crossovers in a way to strengthen the thai plumb and knee strikes. I havent seen this before or the tips on striking techniques using the switch kick and teep. it made up for the weaker parts of the tape. By far, the weakest part of the tape was the self-defense drills. there were 6-7 techniques consisting of parrying a punch to an elbow, knee, and continuing into a wristlock (gooseneck) or a chicken wing/hammlerlock. I wished he filled this part of the tape with more tips on striking and movement. If I could do it over again I would buy his tapes in this order: tape 2 (a must), tape 1 (which shows him doing some conditioning and footage of him kicking and elbowing heavybags full of sand)- the attitude conveyed here alone is worth the tape price, and finally tape 3 is a question mark. If you arent familiar with conditioning exercises mentioned above you might want to buy it if you have the spare cash... More Information

Muay Thai - Bustillo IMB Kali/JKD Academy Video 3

Noted Martial Arts Master, Richard Bustillo shares some of his 30+ years of experience in this first volume of his IMB Academy Fitness & Sport series of instructional videos. In volume 3 he instructs on the extremely effective combat art of Muay Thai. Areas covered include: warm-ups, conditioning drills, offensive & defensive arm and leg techniques and various fighting techniques. Guro Bustillo is best known as one of the highest ranking Jeet Kune Do instructors and personal student of the late Bruce Lee. He is the director of the world renown IMB (International Martial Arts & Boxing) Academy. NTSC-VHS format.

Customer Review: A brief comment
Please note that this is a review of guru Bustillo's Kali workout video. That's because the stickfighting video isn't listed on Amazon, so I thought I would review it here.

In this video master Bustillo presents the training drills he and his students go thru at his famous academy. Keep in mind the video is training based and mostly goes over the different stick training techniques. There's not much presentation of basics since it's assumed you have that already.

The video shows the class in session with him going thru the drills with the students, so there isn't a lot of individual instruction. I would have liked to see more of that, but if you are interested in what a typical workout looks like in a school like his, this one will work for you. Overall, a good training video especially in the coverage of the basics. It's just the basics, however, and if you're a more experienced practitioner, it might be too easy for you. More Information
