I've not seen Tae Bo, but I guess it's a Tae Bo clone.
I've been looking to increase my cardio-fitness and saw they hold 'Kara-T-robics' at my local gym. So I thought I'd give it a go. There was a couple of other newbies there and before starting the...

To my mind it doesn't really matter that he chambered the elbow, he was to his opponents outdoor and he had control of the arm. Why not take a good swing? :)
Excellent stuff, liked the multiple attacker stuff, the guy has excellent movement.
With water strider application he was a bit flash, lots of wasted movements.
