I've been seeing infomercials for this crap everywhere. It's like the abortion of Tae Bo, Capo, and stepcercise freaks. The infomercials, even loaded with hot chicks, is unwatchable from their bizarre movements. Just check it out. I was cringing last night.

I love how one of the trainers is called Gandalf Archer.

I think he means that it looks like the aborted afterbirth of their hideously deformed mutant love child.

Now what happened with Tae Bo? A bunch of people thought they could fight.

When you use Self-Defense with the word discipline people assume they will learn to fight.

Usually, hitting them in the balls with a tire iron solves that.

If you see the infomercial for this. They show people throwing these crazy looping punches. They also state various times how their program is based on the "martial art of Capoeira". Even that specific program can be misinterpreted as being SD.
