To learn good form, I recommend Kathy Smith's Kickboxing Workout (it is actually led by Keith Cooke and also has Keli Roberts in it ). This is a fun workout and one of the best for learning from. I don't think Cathe has the best/safest form, although I do like her kickboxing workouts a lot. The Kathy Smith Kickboxing Workout is one of two workouts on this dvd: http://www.amazon.com/Kathy-Smith-Kn...1021378&sr=1-1
I just did the second workout on this for the first time...it is Michael Olajide Aerobox. I liked it a lot, too, but it is just punches and jumproping. I didn't pay attention to his instruction so I don't know if it is good for learning punches. Also, for starting out, Janis Saffel Quick Fit Cardio Kick might be good (I like this one a lot). Kelly Coffey-Meyer has a tutorial on her 30 Minutes to Fitness Kickbox dvd but I've never done it. Also, Turbo Jam Learn & Burn is a tutorial, but maybe someone else can chime in on this one, too...I don't remember if it is good or not. Also, Chalene does upper cuts and back kicks differently from other instructors (both variations are fine and safe, though...just different). Turbo Kick has an instructional video called Form & Technique that is good but you would have to get it from a TurboKick instructor. A Turbo Jam set might be a good investment...I have the the TJ kickboxing ones, the Turbo Fires, and a lot of Turbo Kicks and they are all really fun. Good luck and have fun...I love kickboxing, too!

You might find it worthwhile also to look through a few previous threads with similar questions: threads tagged "kickboxing for beginners". Good luck!
