Here is my initial review and after doing it again this morning, I have no doubt that this is by far the best basic live tape to date, at least in my opinion. As my daughter would say, "this tape is the bomb!" There are so many new combinations in this tape, that my head is still spinning. I'm definitely still on a high as I write this review.

The first 9 minutes is pretty much routine. The tape starts off with a 3 1/2 minute warm-up and proceeds to some standard across the body punches in a horse stance. Then he moves on to a left hook, right hook combination, which is followed by a left uppercut, right uppercut combination. He then settles into uppercuts in a horse stance, which turns into double uppercuts.  Five minutes into the tape Billy moves into alternating knee raises and then settles into a two part knee raise combination that is in BL#6. This combination just kills my thighs.

He then moves on to speed bag work in a horse stance, which then moves into speed bag work from side to side, with only your upper body moving. A knee raise, punch combination is next, first to the right and then to the left. Then Billy moves on to the double knee raise, right front kick, left front kick, jumping jack combination.  This is where most of the familiar moves end. The majority of the combinations from this point on are new.

Billy adds a twist to the famous leg out to side killer. He starts off with a right leg to the side for a few reps. Then he spices things up, right leg to side and left side kick. After he is done with the right side, he moves on to the left side and repeats this combination.  Billy then adds a new twist to the V-step. He does a V-step and instead of clapping his hands, he puts his hands straight up in the sky. The music during this combination really makes this move a lot of fun.  Next combination has you moving side to side across the room. First, it's a jab, jab, roundhouse kick, roundhouse kick to the right side of the room, then you repeat the combination to the left side of the room.

From this point on his kicking combinations are very different. You will definitely have to rewind the tape to learn the new kicking combinations, but they are absolutely a blast to do.  His first kicking combination is, jumping jack, roundhouse kick to the right, roundhouse kick to the left. He then moves on to jumping jack, right front kick, left front kick, right roundhouse kick, left roundhouse kick.  Next combination is a jab, jab, kick, kick. My notes are a bit vague on this combination.  Another new kicking combination is in store for us. It's called a "four corner kick" and again, lots of fun to do. It's a right front kick, left front kick, right side kick, left side kick, right back kick, left back kick.  For the next 4 minutes Billy takes you into some great punching combinations. Unfortunately, he only works one side. I plan on rewinding the tape and repeat this combination on my left side the next time I do this tape.  The majority of the punching combinations are new. He also has a new triceps exercise in this sequence.

After this 4 minute session, Billy does another new kicking combination. He starts off facing the left wall. Right front kick, pivots into a left roundhouse kick and ends with a right back kick, left back kick. Again, you'll have to rewind the tape to learn this new combination.  Billy then moves on to some balancing kicks. He also does some machine gun kicks, before moving into a Tai Chi cooldown, which is approx. 3 minutes long.

The songs in this tape are: Celebrate, Joy, Now That We found Love, & Stomp.  The soundtrack that has been put together for this tape, rocks!!!! Stomp is an awesome song and the energy level in this tape just soars. Billy even sings during this song. Everyone is definitely having a great time.
