Three
Step Sparring (Sambo Matsoki)
Three step sparring is designed
for the beginner to learn basic techniques. Three step teaches
the student many things i.e. proper distance, correct facing,
forearm conditioning, correct blocks, correct stances, counter
attacks and timing.
There are a few basic rules which apply to all ten examples for
both the attacker and defender.
The Attacker :
The attacker brings there right leg back into a walking stance
and performs an obverse low section outer forearm block and
Kihaps (to show they are ready). They then wait for the defender
to Kihap (also to show they are ready), and walks forward (in
walking stance) three times performing a middle section obverse
punch on every move forward. This is the same for all 10
examples.
The
Defender :
The defenders start in parallel ready stance. When they are ready
they Kihap, and the attacker will attack them with three middle
section punches. The defender then then performs two or three
blocks (depending on which number they do) and performs a counter
attack. This is also the same for all 10 examples.
