I knew immediately when I previewed the workout that I'd have to change any of the 'jab-back hook' combos to make it acceptable to me (it's pretty obvious Amy didn't have any input from someone who knows martial arts or boxing). Did you see my post above with modifications (12 of them! maybe more that I forgot to write down, or couldn't read after the fact!)? I found that by doing them, I made the workout work for me, and it ended up being a good workout.
That 'front jab, rear hook' is also a move where I can imagine some people who aren't up on actual good kickbox form could end up hurting themselves.
I think a 'workout that could have been really good, but fails' often frustrates me more than a 'workout that is crap from beginning to end." The latter just goes on my 'get rid of' pile with no afterthought (unless someone asks for opinions on it), but the former make me wish it had been done 'my way'!
