This course was good. I learned a lot, I have never taken any kind of kickboxing or boxing classes. I enjoyed learning how to kick, punch and block. I think that the course could have more moves and longer sessions so I took one star but over all I loved the experience.

The content is good for beginners, as the course says. The only problem with the course is in the videos itself. In the videos in the gym, the music is too loud, almost at the same volume level as the trainer so it's hard to understand what he says sometimes. I'd advise you to turn down de volume a little for future videos. Also, in the videos explaining the common mistakes, I think the person should be in the frame at all times. I know there can be some limitations for this, as it's recorded in an apartment. Overall, the course is good.

The content is good, but audio is hard to hear because of background noise, and the lighting and production quality of the videos could use improvement.

I learned quite a bit, super helpful to see the instruction from a Professional fighter and someone brand new. Easy to understand and absorb. - Great Course!

Overall it’s descent enough for beginners but there is some background music disturbance

Creo que es bueno, pero tal vez para principiantes que realmente nunca hayan practicado una arte marcial debería ser más específico con los movimientos del cuerpo.

I know nothing about boxing. This course will give you from fundamentals to practise level. I really loved learning. he first explains the moves & show them how to use them in a pratical situation. Very Clear & i enjoyed it. time to keep up my practise

I enjoyed the course except for the beginners part where some forms were mistaken but they tell you about it later in the video. The presentation is kind of sad though but overall, it's a good course for any beginners who want to take up boxing.

Great instructions from the pro. He demonstrates with skill and power. Good overview of the basics. The background noise of the gym is a little distracting.
By Elizabeth Wrappadge on 6/9/2015
but I was too shy to actually try boxing and it was cool to learn it at home. Hopefully I never have to use it, but nice to know how to punch the right way. :)
