Customer Review: Let me start with on a good point and say that michels technique is a true work of art
Its only when you have listened to the tapes a few times(and you will need to in order to completely digest it) that you realise how clever he is at making his point.

Customer Review: I've just completed both this and the advanced course and I think that they are both excellent and achieve very well what they set out to do.
