Billy Blanks before Tae Bo

If you've hunted through the TAE BO VHS tapes on eBay as we mentioned in our last post, you may have seen the Billy Blanks Crunch videos. These are Tae Boxing (that's what they're called) workouts with Billy he did before he started producing Tae Bo workouts. There are two of them: "Master Blaster" and "Tae Boxing." You can get these for almost nothing on eBay and you can see the roots of Tae Bo in these videos. (You can see a very young Shelley in one of them, too.) Stick with the Tae Boxing video. The Master Blaster one isn't as good, though again, it incorporates some moves that Tae Bo fans will recognize.
