Kickboxing recommendations?

Winter time means I add more cardio kick-boxing to my rotations. I became hooked on it this past year when I did Turbo Jam (Cardio Party and Punch Kick & Jam in particular), Kelly Coffey-Meyer's 30 MTF Kickboxing, and Kathy Smith's Kickboxing Workout. I tried Tae Bo, but the uneven reps and incessant counting got on my nerves. Also, it seemed as if Billy made the choreography up as he went along.

Can anybody recommend any good kickboxing workouts for me? By the way, I am a 20 year old male who has no choreography preference (basic or complex is fine with me). Regarding the impact level, I don't want it too terribly high impact (but I am willing to modify if need be).

Thanks!

P.S.: NO Tae Bo, please!

Here are a few personal favorites.

Patrick Goudeau presents Kickbox Burn with Heather Corndorf
Les Mills Combat. If you can get ahold of the out of print Beachbody Combat set that's a great intro to the program. You can also get a few trial for Les Mills On Demand to try the workouts.
Janis Saffell kickboxing workouts. I really like Kick It and Hardcore Kickbox Circuit. Amazon has some great deals on sets of her workouts.
If you like Turbo Jam you may like Turbo Fire by Chalene. It's a Beachbody set.

I don't like her style and a lot of folks like Amy Bento's kickboxing workouts.

My favorite is hands down Ilaria. A lot of people here also like Susan Chung. Cathe has lots of jumping jacks in her kickboxing.

Yes to Cathe's stuff. But some of Cathes don't have any kicks. I'm a huge fan of kickboxing and I love Susan Chung. She only has 4 workouts and 2 of them have a separate segment for heavy bag work. There are enough kicks added in to really work your lower body too. She's a black belt and knows her stuff. I always get an awesome workout with her. I second Patrick Goudeau as well. For me I found a couple of Amy Bento's too much to follow. I got confused. I also love Ilaria but I wish she would let loose and amp it up a bit. That girl has it going on, so let's have it!! I'll be watching this thread!

Patrick Goudeau with Heather Condorf is great.
Cathe has a lot of awesome KB workouts.
I like Susan Chung, TurboFire and Les Mills Combat.
Also KCM TLC, Cardio Amped Live, 30MTF Kickboxing and the boxing segement on Meltdown are fun.

Ilaria and the Les Mills Combat Beachbody set I tend to lean towards straight boxing, but when I want kickboxing, these are my go-to workouts. I don't ever get tired of them. Check out Ilaria's clips on totalfitnessdvds.com https://www.totalfitnessdvds.com/Sea...?Search=ilaria
