Les Mills Combat 30 Kick Start and Combat 45 Power Kata

Combat 30 Kick Start clocks in at 30 minutes.  There are seven class members with Dan and Rachael as the predominate leaders of the workouts.

The workout features two countdown climber. One timer counts down the total workout time and the other timer counts down that particular segment.

The workout also features subtitles that pop up and tell you what moves you are performing.
There is a modifier who does less impact moves.

The workout has two warm up tracks. The first track warms up the upper body and the second warms up the lower body. 

I like the Kick Start workout.  I wouldn't say it was advance or it is not as intense as I thought it would be. As you move from segment to segment or track to track there is a lot of stopping. Most tracks end with and "ending pose".  The cast members are all wearing gloves.

Combat 45 Power Kata clocks in at just over 43 minutes.  This workout is similar to Kick Start. However Power Kata has more impact moves than Kick Start.  The trainers, especially Dan, likes to stop and mug for the camera. I found it distracting.  Sometimes he would abruptly stopped to show a form pointer.  Rachael did this as well but not to the extent as Dan.  Both Dan and Rachael like to sing along with whatever song was playing.  I will say they do a good job in offering tips.  Their instruction is pretty good.
Even with the power element in this workout, I didn't think the workout terribly intense.  Nevertheless, I still enjoyed the workout.
Both workouts offer a music louder option.  Actually this feature is offer on most of the DVD workouts.

Combat 30 Kick Start - 3 & 3/4 stars
Combat 45 Power Kata - 3 & 1/2 stars
