Hi,
I have #1 and #3. #3 is not nearly a tough and #1 is a tad bit less intense than #2. I still think they are very good workouts. There are new Powerstikes coming out in June, so you may want to check out the Kickboxing one.
As for other workout... I like Cathe's KPC and Dawei Cardio Kickboxing ( this one is OOP.) You may want to see if you can find any OOP Powerstrikes. I've been told they are tough as well. The only one I have is Powerstrike Advanced #1 and that one it tough, too.

Can anyone guide me as to where I can purchase Powerstrike Millenium 2. I went to the site, and apparently all 3 - 1, 2 & 3 are out of stock, and they have been for about the past month. I'm surprises Ebay doesn't carry any, they usually have everything. After reading this thread, I really want to try Powerstrike 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I bet they will get more in once the new Powerstrikes are ready to ship (which is supposed to be very soon). Note - volumes 1 and 2 are ONLY available on VHS. I e-mailed them and asked if 1 and 2 will ever go to DVD and Ilaria e-mailed me back and said, "No."
Powerstrike 3 is quite a bit less intense than KP&C in my opinion, but it's good for flexibility and balance. Also, I've noticed it's improved my form and range of motion when I do KP&C or Kickmax. I use Powerstrike Millennium 3 on a day after I do an Imax, Terminator, or Hardcore Xtreme workout as Powerstrike 3 is all low impact.

My first impression of PS 3 wasn't good- I thought that the intensity was way too low in comparison to #1 and #2. Now, I'm like Jillybean, I like having the opportunity to really focus on form, and find that I'm able to get lower in my stance and improve my balance. By the way, PS 1 is available at www.homeworkout.com, but it's $22.00 for vhs!

Erin:
Powerstrikes are taught (or were taught) by Ilaria Montigagni and Patricia Moreno (I'm petty sure I butchered that spelling). They are diff. than Cathe's workouts - not as cardio/aerobic based, more form and execution based. Let me clarify that, they are intense and there's a huge sweat factor, but you do most of the moves sort of stationary - no grapevines, scoops, etc. One of the instructors is a black belt in karate and they both have very good balance and form. They're a nice respite from Cathe's impact. Check them out at www.powerstrike.com. Powerstrike 4 comes out in July.

I don't think you can order them yet. Ilaria e-mailed me yesterday and told me Powerstrike Millennium 4 comes out in July. The forza workout can be done with a broom handle (which I think would be too long) or another, cylindrical wood block. I believe a geniune forza sword weighs 2 lbs. I'm on the fence with this one...
