I am a fan of rotations also. I have done Cath's STS (heavy weight splits 3 days per week) with alternating days of her boxing dvds. That felt like an actual rotation because of the STS foundation. Unfortunately, I get better results (lean out more) if I do STS with rest days so haven't repeated that recently.
UFC Fit and Rushfit are both fun sets that alternate MMA type moves with body weight/weight moves though not really on separate days. They do have strength focused days in the rotations. However, body weight is heavier than the free weights most people tend to choose (even in heavy weight programs) and can be very effective. These programs always give me nice results and the MMA/kick boxing type moves feel cool and are motivating. As I recall, I was able to heavy up more on the weight moves in the Rushfit strength focused dvds. Rushfit review and breakdown UFC Fit review and breakdown Unfortunately, I'm not sure about easy availability but I mention them any way because Vfers are pretty good at finding their desired programs and there may be a willing trader in the group (or even digital availability). Even if these programs don't fit your current plan, a rotation junkie might enjoy them for a future rotation FYi--I didn't mention Tapout because I'm not a fan (instructor) and it leans more into cardio. It uses bands if that interests you.

These are my most used. The last Ilaria one posted uses weights so might not be what you are looking for. All of Susan's RapidFire workouts are fairly similar, some differences in the ab work and the length and type of exercises in the weighted sections if you even choose to do those. You can't go wrong with any of them.

My personal favorite Bodystrike is #2, Powerstrike is #7, Atletica is #2, Forza is #2. A lot of people really don't like the newer set and music that she used, but I do! I would say the lower the number in any given series, the more basic the workout, so probably the best place to start, but not necessarily the most enjoyable. Collage Video has clips for all of her workouts to get a feeling of the vibe from each: https://www.collagevideo.com/collect...ria-montagnani

I like #2 better because it has a few more moves and is a little more fun. it seems to flow a little better. Plus I like the set and background exercisers (particularly Omar and Elizabeth) more on #2.
The swords I just bought are 31" ( they came in a 2-pack for $14!). They are wooden with a wrapped handle. Good enough for exercising! The one I had already is 40" and plastic, and it just seemed like it was harder to keep up with the workout because of the length of the blade. I think the shorter one will fix that. I just searched "short practice bokken" on ebay. This is the listing I purchased from, and it shipped quickly and in good condition : https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Pcs-Red-3...edirect=mobile. They came with plastic guards that can be attached, but I don't plan on using those.
