1 Step Set Sparring

General Points to start…….

All of the one step sparring start with both students in narani junbi sogi, parallel ready stance. The only line up you will need is extending the arm and fist to the body of your opponent. Similarily, the only attack in one step sparring is to step forward into walking stance, middle obverse punch, (kaunde baro jirugi), therefore it will not be typed out every single time. Each of the one step sparring combinations must be performed with the left and right hand attacking. When the attacker is ready, he or she shouts, or kihaps. The defender then kihaps when he or she is ready.
