One-Step Sparring

For one-step sparring, the class breaks up into pairs. The students face off. The offensive student performs a front stance, low block, followed by a front stance, middle punch, with a kihap. The defending student then follows up with the same process. Once the defending student has signaled his or her readiness, the attacking student unleashes a single punch or kick. The defensive student then defends against that attack in a predetermined manner.

One-step sparring is made up of predetermined offensive and defensive applications. For example, the offensive student will perform "Straight punch, number 1." The defensive student will then counter that attack with a specific block and counterstriking measure. The students will then switch, and the other student will defend against the attack. The pair of students will then move on to "Straight punch, number 2." This process will continue until they have worked through all of the one-step sparring techniques appropriate to their belt level.
