1-STEP SPARRING

 

(Ilbo Matsogi)

 

 

1-Step Sparring is the most important type of sparring as it demonstrates the principle idea of Taekwon-Do, that one technique is sufficient for victory. 

 

It is designed to demonstrates the student's ability to aim and control their techniques and properly execute them to the appropriate vital spot.  At this stage of training, the practitioner should have a good level of knowledge and experience of angles and distances for attacking and defending.

 

SEE BELOW FOR THE 1-STEP SPARRING PART OF

BLACKBURN TAEKWON-DO's TRAINING CURRICULUM.

 

The rules of 1-Step Sparring is as follows:

 

PART A - THE MEASURE

 

1) The attacker does not perform a physical measure.  He/She

    should be able to visualize the distance from previous experience

    performing the technique.

2) The defender should form an attention stance while the attacker

    is in the process of positioning him/herself.

 

PART B - PERFORMING 1-STEP SPARRING

 

1) The attacker's ready position is Parallel Ready Stance.  As in

    Three and Two Step Sparring, the attacker should ki-up to

    symbolize his/her readiness to attack.

 

2) The defender's ready posture is a Parallel Ready Stance.  The

    Defender should ki-up after the attacker when ready to defend. 

    This ki-up provides the attacker with the permission to proceed

    with the exercise.

 

3) After the ki-up, the attacker performs the attack.  The defender

    can perform a defensive movement or can move to perform

    his/her counter attack after avoiding the attack.  At the moment

    of striking, the defender should ki-up to symobize the end of the

    exercise as well as gather the necessary power to demonstrate

    that this movement would also finish the opponent.

 

4) To return to the ready posture, the attacker should bring the

    front leg back and the defender returns the back leg forward,

    both to perform Parallel Ready Stance.
