Peter Aerts Volume 5
Power Sparring & Equipment Training


This tape too is a wasted opportunity. No teaching happens at all. The ealier tapes of this series has some pointers from Peter on what he was doing. This volume and number 4 are just watching him, no teaching.

This tape does have Thom harinck holding pads which is interesting to watch but there are no tips on being a pad holder. Maurice Smith's tape does a better job in that aspect. Some of the segments really appeared to be more of the same, a 1 minute demo round of pad holding you could see in any Thai camp.

After this it moves to the heavy-bag work and really just repeats, punching the bag, kicking the bag, combos on the bag etc., though the segment of Peter peppering the bag with his famous lumberjack round kicks is a thing of beauty to behold. There are no tips on working the bag effectively or how many rounds to do or anything really instructional.

Peter Aerts Volume 4
Power Clinching Knees & Elbows
~30 mins

Unfortunately this is a weak tape. This was probably the one I most looked forward to seeing as I have found little out there in the clinch range. However of the 12 techniques covered only about 4 are done from in the clinch, and two of those are basic swimming exercises.

The rest are elbow and knee combos that are good but not spectacular and certainly nothing especially powerful as the title would imply. Don't get me wrong; any elbow or knee from Peter would hurt but I was left thinking this tape was lacking.

The final techniques was a bit of a saving grace. A nice fake knee into an almost jumping elbow, reminiscent of the fake kick into the superman/flying punch.
