On this page you can download an MP3 audio demo, and you can see excerpts of the demonstration video that's shipped with each CD, featuring Black Belt 5th Dan Jery Potenza, practicing the Hyungs to Kickin' Tracks!
Please note that the Kickin' Tracks music CD is of the highest audio quality using the latest in state-of-the-art digital recording and mastering technology. (Check out the WHO/HOW page for the technology behind the music).
The MP3 file contains short segments from the CD. We chose to use 64kbps compression (near CD quality) which, while sacrificing a little in the high frequencies, allows us to give you a 2 3/4 minute demo using only a 1.25 megabyte file. This gives you a much shorter download, while preserving most of the audio quality. Click on the 'Audio Demo' link below to listen. If you'd like to save it to your hard drive for later listening, 'right-click' on the link and in the drop down menu select 'Save Target As', then save to your desired folder.
While the MP3 file is of good quality, due to the nature and limitations of telephone modem bandwidth, compressed video files leave much to be desired. After much experimentation we decided on a Windows Media Player video (See below for links to download Windows Media Player for PC and MAC) at 256kbps. This gives us a 2.55 megabyte file (video with audio) that plays almost 1 1/2 minutes. Considering that the video is compressed down to less than 1% of it's original file size (295 megabyte) the result is impressive, and more than adequate to demonstrate how Kickin' Tracks works. Click on the 'Video Demo' link to view excerpts Dan-Gun, Yul-Gok, Joong-Gun, and Toi-Gye from Kickin' Tracks-TKD Vol.1 (Note: People with slower internet connections or anyone who would like to save the demo to their hard drive for later viewing should 'right-click' on the link and in the drop down menu select 'Save Target As', then save to their desired folder/location.)
