and I liked it !

It folded into some principles my sensei pushes for us, like the triangular step and power through the body better than any tape I've seen so far.

The production quality could be better, but overall its clear and sufficiently repetitive to give a new whip artist some rhythmic training tools.

Verdict: Worth my time for sure. Can't wait to put some of it into practice.

Yeah, I liked it a lot too. It was the first tape I saw that:
- stressed technique
- "less is more"
- nice fluid motion of the body, feet and hence the fluid throw of the whip

And of course the railroad track analogy which serves to eliminate getting whipped from the back.

The video wasn't bad, but the audio track is really bad. You need to play it full blast in order to hear the muffled voice of Delongis.

I agree. I should call him and see if he'll let my little company redo his vids.
