3 step sparring
General assumptions
Attacker is A Defender is B
Both Attacker and Defender must bow to each other before the start of 3 step sparring
The attacker will always measure up from attention stance, and go back in to a left walking stance low outer forearm block, with the exception of attack 6
The defender will always start in the attention stance, and will go in to parallel ready stance, once the attacker has gone back in to a left walking stance low outer forearm block
The attacker will “Ki hap” when they are ready to commence their attack, and will wait for the defender to “Ki hap” back before commencing the attack, once the defender has countered the attacker will step back to attention stance.
The defender will wait for the attacker to “Ki hap” and will “Ki hap” back when they are ready to commence defending, after countering the defender must step back in to a L stance forearm guarding block
Blocks make contact, with the correct blocking tool
Attacks are aimed at the correct target, and should travel towards the target using correct technique, and tool
All counters must be no further than 4cm of the vital spot, with the correct attacking tool
After both the attacker and the defender has completed a attack set they should be back to exactly where they started (this indicates proper stances)
The attacker must wait for the defender to complete their block before they can commence their next attack
