Body Combat Tribute

[ZenoemenmeNick]

I really love BodyCombat, if i can remember this is the cooling down of release 25. This cooling down is the best one i ever did in the history of BodyCombat!!

[didaktik123]

PEOPLE - THIS IS NOT A COMBAT AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH REAL COMBAT !!!

[didaktik123]

they jump around like frogs :))) I would fuck them up all three of them in one minute !

[Mr1nicholas]

Hi..Loved your combat tribute...

[12Giyermo]

Note: Comments not written in english WILL BE DELETED.

LOL why?

[thefu2007]

PINK



[bcombat]

Keep it real and stay with the fight! Unleash Your Inner Warrior!

[gabysango2011]

i totally luv ur vid!

i moved away from the place i did all this about 5 months ago..and right now i've been most nostalgic since i came back..so i decided to just watch something to remind me of the great time i spent there...

and it made me cry LOL

i know i'm a looserrr!!

LOL

anyway

which remix of "shooting star" did u use here?

I love it!

[prebirth91]

what i don't get is why the dance instructors have wrapped their hands and are wearing gloves?

also just cause you're throwing punches and jumping up and kneeing the air doesn't mean you're doing MT or boxing

[taffysteve]

@prebirth91 I think EVERYONE who does Body Combat realises that they aren't doing MT or boxing. It's a martial arts-BASED fitness work-out. What is so hard to fathom about this?

The wraps are purely decorational....but they help get into the spirit of the class. Happy?

[Annie1962]

come and do a class elf before you shoot off your mouth again

[demon22god]

Muay thai is the BEST part ever.... love it a lot , especially the punching part

[demon22god]

@demon22god and i hv to say that Body Combat is a really good CALORIE KILLER besides RPM..... i salute Body Conbat :D

[jlv73]

I think you did a great job on this tribute! Thanks for sharing your passion!

[rukatron]

Great video!. I'm a Les Mills istructor and I'm trained in mixed martial arts as well. This is one of my favorite programs!!!. Sorry for those brainless people who talk but they don't know what they're talking about. Body Combat is a fitness program just created to have a great taste of mixed martial arts and fun while working out without becoming a fighter and get beaten up everytime.Also helps not only physically, it helps in an emotional way too. So GO COMBAT!!!!!!!!!!!

[kamen456]

this isn't a real martial arts this is lioke a jee kune do isn'it??? but i think is ngood

[Taekywtf]

wouuuuuuuuuuu !!!

TAEKWONDOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Lovesick021007]

Rachael is amazing and "So What!" is the best Muay Thai track they ever choreographed. In fact it's the best Combat track period. Thanks for including it.

[DET243]

Cheers frkstg01! It was really annoying me and I really want the song!

[DET243]

Does anyone know who made the song "So What!" ?

[frkstg01]

Yes.

Independence Days (M edit)

[Prtyjedi]

That "martial arts" bit was almost somewhat offensive. I hope you yourself as an instructor have no illusions of what body combat really is, for your sake and that of your class

[frkstg01]

Offensive? Wow, you really have too much time on your hands. The class is influenced by martial arts. It isn't martial arts in reality which I know more than well as I've practiced ashihara karate for more than 15 years.

[Prtyjedi]

I didn't want to seem too aggressive, I'm sorry. And it comforts me that you do know what you're talking about, even if ashihara is more a competitive martial art than a traditional one.

[elfuerteeni]

anyway, you are not based in martial arts, since the martial art include the phylosophy of those; you are just based in the movement of the hits of some martial arts (and I do think it's offensive that you say you make some base in some moves ofkung fu). You sold your karate... and I don`t think you really know how to do real tai chi... I don'tt want to seem aggresive either... but I feel body combat as an insult to martial arts...

[chinosjay]

@Prtyjedi, i have been doing body combat for over three years now, and i certainly hold no illusions of being a martial artist. its just part of the whole fun part of it. people who think they are karate/ taekwondo expert after several classes of body combat, certainly needs either a check up from the neck up or a swift kick on the noggin.

[vanyblan]

It´s just amazin I LOVE BODY COMBAT, the energy, the fitness but above them all. . . the fun!!! Nice video btw and could you help me with something? what are the songs you used in this video, because i love track at 1:56 thanks ^_^

[frkstg01]

Check the credits in the end of the clip. All of the tracks are listed.

[vanyblan]

Thanks for the info. . . lol

[gabysango2011]

LOVE BODY COMBAT

I love it soo much that I am seriously considering, as one of my first options, becoming an instructor

been doing it for about 6 months now..I go almost everyday!

It is just impossible not to love it

[arenanet12]

LOved!!! it!!!

[eleenpor]

Btw, I'd like to share this with my friends (who are die-hard BC fans as well) in my blog. How do I give u credit? :)

[frkstg01]

No credits needed. Just share....

[eleenpor]

Love this tribute. Whoever took the time & effort to put it together, THANK YOU from the deepest corner of my heart :x

[frkstg01]

Thank you. It was a fun piece to put together, even though it's getting old around the corners by now. Perhaps about time for a new one.. ;)

[eleenpor]

I look forward to the new one then :D

[lupinfarm]

please guys its a great and enjoyable way to get fit but lets leave the worshiping aside!!

[PlanetMother]

The first 3 lessons are hard, you sweat a lot but having 'survived' that...it's pure fun!

I was just surprised i couldn't find a place to do body combat in upstate NY.

[cchar21]

there is no doubt body combat is the best class ever. Ive been doing it since BC 32 now im on BC 40. Every time i go into that class i have the best time ever with music pounding away and the instructors breathing down my neck pushing me to my highest potential. In 2 years body combat has changed me, make me physically and mentally stronger and it will always continue to do so. i have never had such fun in my life and i will continue to do so. LONG LIVE BODY COMBAT!!!!

[ghostshadow1979]

No question, do doubts... only pure adrenalin... a real love of a real warrior... this is my kingdom, this is my passion...

Great tribute!!!!!

[Matasiete666]

This is just camouflage for commercial aerobics. Pure business.

The martial arts are much more harsh.

[Moppie38]

beautiful video =] It really shows how passionate you are about Body Combat.. The lines are very inspiring =]

It's a shame though that not all of us apreciate it, or at least show a little respect to the GREATEST FITNESS CLASS EVER. Thank you =D

[rojahappy22]

Hey combat zus mooie clip he hij staat bij me favo's er moeten echt meer mensen gaan combatten ja toch we maken gewoon reclame.....yehhh combatten is gewoon GRUWELIJK..

[nrshahwan]

Who the fuck can master or can do the all the moves of all kinds of Marshal arts . Bodycombat is bull shit.

[frkstg01]

You really don't grasp the concept of a "group fitness class" do you?

[nrshahwan]

Ha ha ha, Please explain the amazing concept. No one in the fucking world can master all the moves of marshal arts. they r simply steeling from Marshal arts to make money

[frkstg01]

I'll say it again; you don't grasp what a group fitness class is. Is it a martial arts class? No. Is it a group fitness class inspired by martial arts techniques? Yes.

It's about fitness, not martial arts; there's a distinct difference between the two. But you appear to narrow-minded to understand what I'm saying.

And also, you might learn to spell correctly. It's MARTIAL, not "marshal" as that is a police officer.

[nrshahwan]

Sorry for the spelling mistakes may be i should take English classes put lets keep it in the subject.

Why to learn the martial arts moves in a wrong way and brag about it. ok, how about creating a sports moves classes or  cooking moves classes. All what i am saying they r not creative and followers and not leaders

[frkstg01]

Yes, why should you let people get fit, reduce risks for health diseases and disorders and have heaps of fun while doing it? This class motivates more than 100.000 people each week, and the ones choreographing it are true leaders and role models when it comes to areas such as creativity, inspiration and motivation. I'd like to see you take on Mr Cohen yourself..

Can't you get it into that apparently thick head of yours that the class isn't about technique? It's about FITNESS! About having fun.

[nrshahwan]

There are over a 1000 ways to get fit, no need to be a sheep or a donkey who follows whom ever trying to cheat them. Please use ur brains and dont put them aside

[frkstg01]

You are one of the most narrow-minded individuals I've ever come across. Do you have a problem with people enjoying a certain fitness class even though it's not to your liking or are you merely enjoying acting like an ass?

I figured someone at the respectable age of 39 to be more grown up as your behavior in writing come across as pitiful and childish.

Apparently not, however.

Go bug someone else, I have more pressing matters to attend to. Like life.

[eleenpor]

As a die-hard BC fan, I totally agree with you about mixing FITNESS & FUN into BC. However, I will have to disagree with you that it's not about technique. Cos it actually is.

I've lost track of the number of times the BC instructors remind us abt hooking/punching/kicking the right way to ensure the right muscle group is being worked out AND also to avoid unnecessary injury. It is true that wrong techniques can lead to injury.

So, IMHO, technique is as important as having fun at BC.

[aliveoneinnz]

It is a concept like this that enables most individuals with no passion a start, and an evergrowing interest to lose weight gain fitness or make freinds.

For me, I already have trained in several martial arts, currently training in kickboxing and am just starting Kung Fu for the techniques of learning speed punching and blocking.

Combat provides interests for me because I maintain flexibility, I use speed, add combinations on top of the set format and maintain tae knees wherever pos.

[dethonius]

it looks awsome i gonna try body combat this evening in the local fitness center

[felipex08]

thank you ;)

[KeysLer88]

take skill guys,

[felipex08]

which is the name of the first song?

[frkstg01]

"Red Warrior" from BODYCOMBAT release #25. It is the soundtrack in the movie "The Last Samurai".

[isidro13008]

no existe el arte marcial perfecto es el practicante con mucha garra y empeño que lo hace en superarse y superar a los demas , isi

[frkstg01]

Are you bloody daft or something?! I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH YOU NIMROD!

[BakyraBA]

calm down, he just said that there's not a perfect art, just the person trying to get better himself or something like that

[Saga102]

you're a f*cking xenophobic did u know that? EVERYONE has the right to speak ANY LANGUAGE he/she wants. you should feel yourself flattered that a foreigner actually sees & comments your video.

[frkstg01]

You're kinda missing the point here, English isn't my native tongue either. To call me xenophobic is as far from the truth as it goes, but I guess it's easier to say so than being constructive. Do however explain to me why a certain someone would write something to another someone in a language he or she doesn't understand? Sort of gives the words "lost in translation" a whole new meaning, doesn't it? It says in the video title text, comments not in english is deleted. Hard to follow? Think not.

[MCRISTINACD]

The point is:why someone would get so upset by something so trivial?.The guy said something positive and you jus pissed on it.I agree with

Saga102 that in fact you should be thankful and openminded dude

[frkstg01]

The core of the issue still remains; I can't possibly comprehend what an individual is trying to say in a language that I don't understand. For all I know he could have said something of the complete opposite, I'd still be clueless. If you want to say ANYTHING to someone, whether good or bad, make bloody sure they understand it. That's the point. The only point. Nothing else.

So there. Enough already.

[trhodesmusic]

I just did my first clinic and class in Taipa. Macau and WOW!!!! I am in love. So awesome. YESSSSSS!

[GiuMiglioli]

Congrats!

I loved this tribute. I have being on Body Combat class, since BC06 and I´m completelly addicted to it. Is trully life changing.

When I first saw the words "Prepare for Combat ... Fight for your life!" I could not imagine how addicted to it I was became.

Love it!

[extrakt4]

the best Les Mills programme out there!! Love it!

[wrongon]

absoloutely fab you are a true combatter i've been teaching since combat 17 and am in love with it still and always passionate and excited. combat has changed my life and all my participants and anyone who compares it to tai bo needs slappin lol !!!!

[damadecada20]

I like Body Combat so much...I just started do it for 6 months :D

Nice tribute too.

[AusFry]

Nice tribute! im a combat lover myself and whenever i hear a "combat" track on the radio ill do the routine wherever i am. Combat forever!! :)

[emsboupt]

body combat is not mma. mma is a ufc

[emsboupt]

yes a think . billy blanks is a firs cardio kick boxing klass .

yes or not? tell me

[frkstg01]

if you're going to comment, comment so I can understand. "yes a think", "firs", "yes or not?" pretty much tells me nothing.

And yes, BC is an MMA type of fitness class. Don't compare a fitness MMA class to UFC, that's simply stupid.

[emsboupt]

body combat is a copy of tae bo.after tae bo was born they have been tryng to copy that

[frkstg01]

Oh get over yourself. So you think BC in 2008 is trying to copy something developed 19 years ago in 1989? Sorry but that's just stupid. BC stands on its own merits and hardly looks to history for development. I don't see something as old as Tae Bo incorporate martial arts disciplines like Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Capoeira, Karate, Muay Thai etc in its routines.

Seriously, get over yourself.

[emsboupt]

mmm estos son un fiasco si kieren algo de cardio kick bosing bueno miren los primeros videos de billy blANKS YA QUE GRACIAS A EL SALIERON ESTAS MALDITAS COPIAS BARATA . Dan cohen y rachel son unos principiante ni sikiera saben boxear y eso ke es lo mas facil . miren el video donde Dan le pega al costal pobre tonto no sabe nada de nada

[frkstg01]

Seriously, if one more individual comments in a language that is not understandable by the author (me!) then don't comment at all! It pisses me off!! Is it so hard to look/figure out if the author speaks the language you comment in? I think not!

[GiuMiglioli]

This is not a martial art class. It is not to learn kung fu, capoeira, etc. It is just to be and stay fit.

There is no point to see this as "fiasco"

All the best

[Ninnair]

this was great! Although the last part was a bit too sad, come on, we're still kicking when D&R tells us to :)

Keep fighting!

br,

Ninnair

[frkstg01]

They also tell us to cool down when we should. :)

/F

[Kidoh1970]

Cooles Video...........Les Mills the best Fitness Programms of the World!

I love it

[ljramos84]

Que padre video!!!! La mejor demostración de lo que es Body Combat

[frkstg01]

If people are gonna comment on the video, then bloody well do it in a language that I can understand!!

[relax324]

jejeje its spanish!!! :P

he said.... ooo great video!!! the best demostration of body combat

[frkstg01]

So what? I'm not spanish and don't speak the language either. So why comment in a language that the author can't even understand?

Although thanks.

[Kidoh1970]

frkstg01 hey the Spain People want to say this is a good and reality demonstration from Body Combat! :-)

[bodystreet]

Lindo e revigoroso.....parabéns!

[frkstg01]

Eh...what??

[relax324]

cool

[IAM2FAT]

This is good. I hope to find the old routine that uses songs like I was born to love you, frozen, time to say goodbye....

[CamsK]

I also love BC but I must say I was a little disapointed because you didn't used any of the oldest songs. MIX 25 is the oldest you have here. All the Body Combat classics are from BC11, 07, 13, so on. If you'd like I have some videos from these old classes. They are much better then this new ones.

But I really liked the video. And I'm sorry for the grammar mistakes. I'm still learning English. =P

[frkstg01]

N&G videos better than the D&R ones?? Excuse me while I pick myself up from the floor. I just passed out.

[relax324]

great video!! a lovebody combat

[mael0810]

I love Body combat i'm french and i really want to know what is the sing when the girl sang. I love it. thank you very much.

All FOR BODY COMBAT

[frkstg01]

All the songs are listed at the end of the clip (as mentioned in my last reply below). The two songs with a girl singing is Save Your Life (remix of Van Halens 'ain't talkin' 'bout love') and the other one is Shooting Star by ColorBox.

[TheNiteWalker]

Great music for BC. :)

It's too bad my gym only offers Pump and Balance. I would love to try some Combat. :)

[Alexsotan1]

and the music of muay thay

[frkstg01]

The songs are listed in the end of the clip. The first one is "Red Warrior" by Hans Zimmmer and the Muay Thai is called "So What".

[Alexsotan1]

What the name of first music??

[C0RruPt3D91]

i'm waiting for it at our gym :/

[Ceridwyn2]

I started taking BodyCombat classes at our local gyms [GoodLife Fitness] and I love it. It's a really good workout and I find lots of energy and strength, physical and mental from this class. I recommend it a lot.

Love the vid.

[frkstg01]

There's no better or more fun workout than BODYCOMBAT. Glad to know you appreciate it, both the class and the vid. ;)

[fujika430]

It is a very wonderful work.

Thank you.

I love Bodycombat！！　Ｏ(≧▽≦)Ｏ

[amondude]

pretty cool~

[amondude]

pretty cool~

[hsellers1234]

Which martial art would you say is the best for total focus of the mind?

[frkstg01]

I practiced Karate myself for several years (Ashihara) and that was a very good one. I think most of them are good though, my guess is that it's more down to the style you prefer yourself. Taekwondo or kung-fu, karate or ju-jutsu, capoeira or muay thai - it all comes down to what you want to learn and for what purpose you want to learn it. A good intention is the best guide.

[hsellers1234]

Thank you

[Angefit]

wow..i like it! I'm an instructor of aerokickboxing..I want to try teachig body combat to my classes!!!it's too cool!!

geatings from Italy!

[frkstg01]

Then undergo some instructor-traning and do it! :)

[zoofylonen]

zoofylonen from argentina :)

[firegirl2702]

Respect... this video is very, very great!!! Best seen ever! Really... Body Combat rocks!!

[frkstg01]

Thanks! :)

[Aso0omy]

WOAH~~~, your words in the video made me wanna attend the class now, I've only attended 1 class before and I felt that I cant do it anymore, but after watching this video I'll "FOR SURE" go to attend the class tomorrow~!

if I have any question after attending tomorrow's class, I'll ask, and I hope to got an answer ^_^

thank you so much instructor Fredrik ^^

[frkstg01]

Enjoy the class! ;)

[joan05250]

This is super cool workout. I have been attending the class for almost 2 months and still enjoy it very much. I still can't do all the moves but thanks to Fredrik's encouragement, I've sticked on to it and am slightly better now :). Just go and have fun!!!

Hey Fredrik, ur the best and btw, my side kicks are still lousy... hehehe :)

[quepata83]

This is a great material! I used to practice it and i took the qualification modules to give the class but after short time had to move to an other city and here aren't none of those clases, no gyms with license!! I really miss this!!

[frkstg01]

Sorry to hear that. I can't imagine what I'd be doing if I didn't have BC to teach. Oh the horror...

Thanks for your positive comments on the movie clip though! :)

[joan05250]

Hi frkstg01, cld u give me some tips on how to improve my side kicks? They are hopeless!! I just can't get it right and high enough! Thks.

[frkstg01]

The thing with sidekicks, any kicks for that matter, is to really step in with your heel in the direction of the kick. Then, with your kick leg, bring it up towards your chest - meaning that you point with your butt and then extend the leg, imagining the outer part of your foot as the strike surface. Really lean the upper body back so you maintain balance.

[joan05250]

Many thanks!

[joan05250]

i found out abt this workout when I joined my gym recently. I love it but being super unfit and heavy,I feel like dying 15min into the workout and I can't seems to be able to do all the moves! Am so embarrassed... I still like it very much tho. Sigh :*((

[frkstg01]

Hey, don't beat yourself up. You know, everyone starts at some point and staying with it, just staying with any kind of workout, gets easier as time progresses. I'm confident you'll do absolutely fine! :)

[joan05250]

you're super sweet, thanks for the encouragement. I'm going again this Saturday, am just going to try and try again. I feel giddy after the session tho and some bowel movement - is that ok?

[frkstg01]

That you're feeling giddy is probably because of two reasons; 1) A new workout is always unfamiliar and takes time getting used to, thus being harder, and 2) work through the levels of the workout, start out easy and then progress to higher intensity. Feeling giddy is probably because you worked a little too hard. ;) Good luck!

[joan05250]

Thanks, mate! Appreciate it much!

[luismanolo88]

I love Bodycombat... :D I'm instructor

[ROBZIEx]

Heyy loved the vid :D I am training 2 b an istructor jst now and tht vid jst got me even more excited lol :D

[adycardcaptors]

perfeito

body combat esta na alma

esta no sangue

[frkstg01]

Well, I don't understand a word you wrote but I'm sure it was positive in some way...

[Briony6981]

love it, hey whats the name of the i want to be forgiven song and whos it by? same with that shooting star one? thanks heaps

[frkstg01]

The specific mixes available on the BC releases are licensed only for those, but most songs are still able to be found even though they may not perhaps be 100% identical. That said, the songs are the following:

Black Spider - Save Your Life! (Warp Brothers Radio Edit)

Colorbox - Shooting Star

[Briony6981]

ur are an absoloute legend:) btw im a combat addict too :)

[frkstg01]

Oh legend would perhaps be pushing the envelope a little! *laughing*

However, I'm glad you like the movie (I have more projects up my sleeve...)! Do you instruct BC or participating? I'm an instructor myself (BC and more).

[GibsonSGjunior]

Wonderful vid !!! I'm also a BC addict and your tribute is great !
