1 Step Semi-free Sparring

General Points to start…….

The attacker lines up to the defender in the same way as 3 step sparring, he or she then goes back into a left walking stance low block. When he or she is ready to attack, the attacker must shout and wait for the defender to respond with a shout before the attack can begin.This is only done on one side, i.e. not like one step sparring.

Attacker: Step forward into a right walking stance high obverse punch.

Defender: Step backwards into a left walking stance high outer forearm obverse block, followed by a front snap kick from the back leg, making sure you ‘fall’ forward after the kick, into a walking stance guarding block.

Attacker: Not moving the feet, perform a low reverse outer forearm block, then counter with a low front snap kick from the front leg to the lower abdomen, placing the kicking leg behind you into a right L-stance guarding block.
