Summary: Super Learning Aid
Review: I got my black belt in ITF style taekwondo and have recently moved to a WTF style. I bought this DVD to learn the WTF forms to test for black belt at my new school and in less than four months, I'm up to red belt level. This is a great learning tool. I can practice at home without bothering my instrutor or the upper belts at my new school. Sang H. Kim's performance is very crisp and his instruction is detailed and goes beyond just do this move then do that move. He explains the little things that will help you make your performance above average. My instructor has complimented me more than once on my forms and I credit this DVD with helping me perfect the little things as well as the sequence of the movements.

Summary: Love the DVD format!
Review: I had this title on video and it was one of the first DVDs I bought after getting my player for christmas. Not only is the DVD picture clearer and sharper, the audio quality is better than on the tape as well. But the best part is the way the menu lets you jump around without spending time searching by way of fast forward or rewind. If you're reviewing for a test or need a quick refresher of the forms, you can work on #4 then jump right to #2 or #8 without having to keep stopping and checking for the form you need, like you would with a tape. I also liked the bonus footage of the applications. While we don't practice these at my school, it's nice to know what the movements are supposed to be for. A great DVD - I definitely recommend to anyone doing WTF style TKD.

Summary: Nice but...
Review: The content of the video is technically correct but layout and quality of the video leaves allot to be desired. The editing of the DVD is wrong the video of the first form is actually Taegueg 2 not 1. One of the high forms shows a dog running through the frame.

Summary: an oustanding reference tool
Review: The DVD is an awesome format for martial arts instructional tapes and this DVD makes full use of the format's advantages. Each form is shown from side and front, with slow motion and step by step instructional views. The best part is, you can use the menu to go directly to the poomse you're working on without having to fast forward like you would on a tape. There is one minor production glitch - the first poomse, Taegeuk Il Jang has Taeguek Ee Jang shown in the follow along view. This shouldn't affect your use of the DVD however, because you can just as easily follow along with the instructional view, which is the same view but with a step by step instructional voice over. Overall, the best poomse reference out there, and I've seen quite a few!

Summary: Adequate for Review
Review: This DVD was technically correct. The pace was more relevant to those reviewing for the Bo or Black Belt than those trying to learn the poomse for the 1st time. Beginners may have problems following this DVD due to the basics, since they are not covered in detail (look, ready hands, move feet, action, and follow-up).
