ILBO MATSOGI (One Step Sparring)
Definition of Sparring -
Sparring is the phyisical application of attack and defense techniques gained from patterns and fundamental exercises, used against actual moving opponent or opponents under various situations.
It is therefore not only indispensable to promote the fighting spirit and courage, to train the eyes to read the opponents tatic as well as maneuvers, to forge, toughen or develop the attacking and blocking tools, to test his/her own skills and ability to learn other movements hardly to be gained in patterns and fundamental exercises.
ONE STEP SPARRING
Vertually, this sparring is considered to be the most important one from the point of view that the ultimate goal of Taekwon-Do in real combat is to win the victory with just a single seasoned blow.
As a matter of fact it not is only exercised at all levels but can be used in actual situation. It is therefore advisable for the student to apply all techniques exclusively including counter-attack, flying attack and defense, and dodging attack with hand or foot whie flying under various assumptions.
The secret of this sparring is to deliver a complete accurate speedy and decisive blow at the opponent's vital spot at the right time with the right weapon while defending against the opponent's attack effectively.
Typical Procedure of One-Step Sparring
Click on the links below to see our school's 1-Step Sparring System:
Ban Jayu Matsogi Semi-Free Sparring The distance between players, methid of attack and defense used, attacking and blocking tools used and number of steps taken are completely optional. Only one series of attack and defense motion is exchanged, however, and then for a brief duration.
Semi-free sparring is the last stage before the student enters into a freee sparring, though it can be exercised at all levels as well.
Jayu Matsogi FEE SPARRING
Free sparring is essentially an open combat with controlled attacking and prohibition of attacking to certain vital spots.
In a free sparring there is no prearranged mode between the payers, and both participants are completely free to attack and defend with all available means and methods with one exception. The attacker must stop the attacking tool just before reaching the vital spot.
Because Taekwon-Do is a lethal form of self-defence, the sparring rules - unlike those of other competitive sports count only blows focused within two centimeters of a vital spot, instead of counting the number of ineffective blows or the use of sheer brute strength. In sparring focussed blows, speed, power, balance and strong and accurate blocking skillful dodging and attitude are taken into consideration.
Since the attack and defense techniques depend on the actual situation in free sparring, the student should refer to the illustrations preseted in the prearranged sparring section of this book. Hereby, I give the following hints instead of repeating the foregoing illustrations so that the student can be familiarized himself with true Taekwon-Do style sparring, through theoretical, powerful movements that aqre aesthetically pleasing while evoiding "chicken fighting".
Chicken fighting is caused by those students who se only stereotyped movements wihout any tactics and irregard for the opponent's position at all.
