Has anyone tried Ilaria's samuraii sword workout?

[LauraMax]

I just came back from the doc's & Jane mag featured this sometime last spring (OK my doc's mags aren't up to date but that's not the point :+ ).

It looked like a lot of fun, not to mention unique, 2 things I'm always looking for w/my home workouts. How does the intensity level compare to Cathe? Is it somewhere along the lines of Spreen's Absolute KB? Any other details inquiring minds might want to know?

Laura -

Here's a thread from VideoFitness that answers your question -

I'm interested in this too. I would love to take sword fighting classes (not fencing, but with an actual sword).

Thanks Christine, that's very helpful. Looks like it's not my cup of tea. The reviews seemed to say it wasn't much of a cardio workout.

That's what I got out of it, too, but I might still get it because I'm looking for different approaches to upper body work as opposed to straight weigths.
