Didn't get much chance to talk, but just want to let you know that both of you are a great inspiration to me with this program and with all that I've learnt from the both of you at the Intensive in Canberra and master classes, they've worked really well with my classes. For that I've also committed myself to bringing the best Martial Arts program to the world for as long as my body can hold.<br /><br />As my passion in the program continues to grow, I'm considering and working my way in achieving a trainer/presenter status. So my question is: <br /><br />Is there a chance for people like us to train directly under you and your team? Something like a 1 or 2-week BodyCombat Boot Camp with you and Rach will be interesting. :-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Agnes<br /><br />PS: Am planning on attending one of the BC filmings to come in NZ. :-)Agnesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465398909779806076.post-83770140284098443962010-04-21T02:54:30.518+12:002010-04-21T02:54:30.518+12:00Hi Dan & Rach -

Do you work together or its is all separate? I have noticed lately that there are tracks that are used in multiple programs in the same release cycle. I teach pump, combat and RPM so when there are similar songs in the same release its a little mind boggling to get your head aournd which one is which..for the members too. Not a compliant at all more a question as to whether there is method behind the "madness" (or should I say greatness!). Other than that - you boht continue to amaze me at making each release more aweosme than the last! You are my super heros!!<br />Cheers<br />Hanna (Golds Gym Northwest, US)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465398909779806076.post-41314368609713116852010-04-02T23:54:54.497+13:002010-04-02T23:54:54.497+13:00Hey hey you two ;o),

Is it like "Hey that sound's like a Jab Cross Jab" or "Oh I'd like to do that combi, let's search for a song that fits"... Hope you know what I mean ;o)<br /><br />All the best. We try to do our best here at MAORI Fitness Community in Germany. If you really answer that question would be so great if you say a short "Hello" to our members, they'd be really proud I think!...

I do a lot of learning while driving and you miss a beat in 1b hit rewind, and back to 1a again which drives me mental! thanks guys, keep up the great work.....

In the UK, we are always one release behind some regions, and it makes it impossible to keep the new release a secret...especially from particularly keen participants!<br /><br />I also noticed in BC43 that you started both using a new form of 'Kiah!' which sounds something like 'Assa'. Where did that come from?<br /><br />Finally, just a comment. Dan we met a couple of years ago when you came to teach a masterclass in David Lloyd Luton. I told you how I was (at the time) preparing to become an instructor. Well, now I am 7 stone lighter and fully qualified. The truth is, Body Combat (and therefore you and Rach) changed, or even possibly SAVED, my life so, you know...cheers!<br /><br />SteveTaffystevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15951409099302656582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465398909779806076.post-5227122496088421562010-03-31T07:27:55.919+13:002010-03-31T07:27:55.919+13:00Hey Dan & Rach, I have a question about your p...Hey Dan & Rach, I have a question about your philosophy when it comes to coaching kicks in a class. In the master class videos your kicks are a good height (at least head level) towards the end of a set. Is this something you just do for yourself, or is it also to give the class something to aspire to? I ask because many participants can't kick too high without risking injury or really sacrificing technique, and so I often find myself kicking maybe just past waist height just to keep them from being tempted to try (or, worse, being intimidated). When I am just participating in another instructor's class or when I am team-teaching a track but another instructor is cueing it, I feel like I have a bit more freedom to push myself in my kicks but I am still mindful of overdoing it. What are your thoughts on this?Dmitry Sharkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08825721922066133976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465398909779806076.post-30720474738116176642010-03-31T06:49:11.470+13:002010-03-31T06:49:11.470+13:00hey guys!!

I mean -from the beginning: you're choosing songs, then choosing what to put in it, then the whole choreography - the tracks always match each other!!the choreo has always the main theme (Jing_Jang,Backyard Brawl):) It's great!! But it's freaking difficult and it takes time! How long does it take? When do you finally know - this is it?? This gonna be EPIC?? And where do you take an inspiration from to be so "fresh" every time :). Are you participate in any kind of martial art training? How do you prepare a team for filming? <br />For now - it's enough of questions :P But there is a lot of in my head :P <br />Thx, Rach&Dan!!!<br />Lots of hugs!!Trzeciakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172852980609654727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5465398909779806076.post-43975814195790970752010-03-30T19:57:37.762+13:002010-03-30T19:57:37.762+13:00Hey, wanna ask something..
