Editorial Review:
Grind Workout: Tai-Funk Aerobics is an odd blend of two very different styles--box aerobics and funk-style dance--but it works. The workout is clearly designed for young exercisers (the heart-rate chart starts at age 15), with the moves demonstrated by a group of boisterously enthusiastic, good-looking, youthful dancers: young women with perfect bare midriffs and buffed young men. First Dimitri Ehrlich leads a slow nai kung warm-up, consisting of kung fu postures that include isometric exercises and stretches. Then Heidi Van Ambergh starts the dance workout by demonstrating a few complex steps of a routine, and in turn, the other dancers each teach a few more steps, stringing them together as they go. The moves are mostly funk, with some self-defense arm work and kicks. Coordination and attitude definitely required! Good production quality, except that the ever-changing camera angles may frustrate you when you're first learning the moves. The workout is hosted by C-Note, a modern rhythm & blues group, who sing a song during the cool down. The video ends with a demonstration of some self-defense moves you can practice and use in time of need. --Joan Price

Rating: - Worst of all the Grind Tapes....
I think this is the worst Grind video ever made. I don't care for C-Note in it and I don't like the fact that Eric is not in this one as he is a great workout leader. It is also a boring video as it tends to drag on and on and then when it gets good if you have carpet some moves can be hard to do. My advise is to skip this one and go for one of the other Grind videos.
Rating: - Hotttttttttt Young Men, but....
That now is my main attraction to the tape because the instruction is so well-done it drags onnnnnnnn and onnnnnnnn... However it is an interesting, unique concept - the mixture of dance and gentle martial arts moves, but... there's too much talking and not enough moving. It takes forever to gain momentum then when you nail the sequence they move on to the next endlessly-long break-down of instruction. This tape does have a great *fun* engergy level, it's sexy, and if you like gazing at male 20-somethings ... Read More
Rating:  - I Loved It
This video was kind of hard at first, but once I got the routine down, I absolutely loved it. I love to dance and this workout was more like a dance than any exercise video I had ever done before. Plus, I lost about 10 lbs., after about 4-5weeks of doing it 4 days a week. So, if you love to dance this one is definitely one for you!!!!
Rating: - lots of fun
If you have some dance experience, this is a good video. I felt like I got a good work out, and I had fun doing it. I didn't find the self defense section very useful. Self-defense is better learned in a class with a live instructor. If you like to dance you'll like this video.
Rating:  - Too Complicated
The only thing I like about this video was the beginning warm up with Chi Kung. That part was something to learn and use regularly. The workout is just a group of people teaching us one section at a time of a dance routine which is kind of complicated. After finally getting it down its not something you would want to do again. I was really dissapointed with this video.
