Set Sparring
THREE STEP SPARRING (SAMBO MATSOKI)
Three step sparring is designed for the beginner to learn the basic techniques. It teaches the student many things i.e. proper distance, correct facing, forearm conditioning, correct blocks, correct stance & counter attacks and timing. All attackers start in left walking stance, obverse low section outer forearm block. All defenders start in parallel ready stance.
TWO STEP SPARRING (IBO MATSOKI)
Two step sparring is designed for the intermediate student to learn more advanced techniques, but with more varied attacks, thus also allowing the attacking student to develop various combinations. All attackers start in right L stance, forearm guarding block. All defenders start in parallel ready stance
THREE STEP SEMI-FREE SPARRING
This form of sparring is designed as a step forward from basic three step sparring. It involves three consecutive attacks (hand or feet) and three blocks or evasions, plus a counter attack. Three step semi-free sparring should not be hurried, the secret is reaction force and quick, intelligent movements. This is where the true art of sparring is learnt. Attacking students start in L stance guarding block. Defending students start in parallel stance.
