 Very Good,has led onto further purchases from Sang H Kim April 6, 2010
L. Mainwaring (South Wales)
I bought this whilst in the UK, and had to import from US.
The DVD is broken down into the different levels, from Beginner to Intense, which is ideal for the different levels of flexibility (I started from basic and I am building up gradually..)
The programs last a maximum of 20 Minutes each which is good if you are short for time or get bored easily doing sessions over 30mins.
I already participate in Kickboxing (Intermediate level) and found that even within a week of this stretching my kicking has improved in speed and height.So something must be working..:-)
I found the whole DVD of a good standard, and am currently in the process of buying more from Sang H Kim.
No-nonsense, straight down to it attitude and the little comment at the end of every session, of "I'll see you tommorrow" Really works for me!

Did not care for the video--it's the personal idea of this particular instuctor. I found better strecting and kicking techniqes in Jame Lew's the Art of Kicking and Strecting--I highly recomment the video.

After 5 years of Taekwondo, I was looking for something to take me to the next level. I was very disappointed with this video. If you have been doing any form of martial arts for longer than 2 weeks, save your money... you already know as much as this video will teach you.
 3 full body stretching routines August 1, 2008

There are 3 wonderful, full body stretching routines on this DVD. Sang H. Kim's energy is magnificent!!!
There are 3 levels of routines each one is approx. 20 minutes. Sang moves thru the routine fairly quickly and counts 1 thru 8 keeping a good rhythm. It is a very nice alternative to typical yoga sun salutations and your whole body will feel alive and open after the exercises.
You can do each one individually or together for a full hour of fun! I would probably not recommend for beginners as he doesn't give a lot of explanation on form, but if you know a bit about stretching and possibly yoga already this is a "must have".
The intense workout is quite invigorating. The moderate workout is done completely on the floor. The easy routine is a nice practice for easy days. Each one is quite different and allows you a variety choice depending on how you feel.
I love the music which comes on intermittently throughout the practices. The staging is quite simple and no fancy stuff. You can just concentrate on stretching, moving, and breathing.
Please see my other yoga and stretching dvds on amazon and check my web site to view my very favorites (including this one) at worldturning dot com.
Good stretching video November 22, 2007

While this video is titled "Stretching for Martial Arts" it is so fundamental in approach that it will be equally useful to anyone. It is not an overly strenuous or violent type of stretching. Each user is advised to proceed at their own pace and given a method for doing so.
After using this video daily for about a month I have found it to be extremely effective. Mr Kim is very organized and through in his method, systematically going from joint to joint providing graded exercises for
each. He provides three levels of workouts, each increasing in intensity. The first level can be used by anyone without prior experience or training.
Anyone consistently using this video will benefit almost immediately.
Each session in about 20 minutes and provides a good workout as Mr. Kim goes rather quickly. I recommend this video to anyone begining a stretching program.
