One-Step Sparring Set #1 “Il-Bon”

This is the first set of one-step sparring techniques taught to Yellow Belts. All students Yellow belt and above are expected to know these techniques and demonstrate them against both a left and right side attack.

One-Step sparring is an extension of forms practice. The One-step patterns are intended to be performed with a partner as a two-person form with the same attention to detail as applied in forms training: stances, targets, balance, timing, breathing, speed, power and focus are all equally important. The goal is to perform these techniques with the same speed and intensity you would use in real self-defense situation.

Note: The right hand performs a different attack for each of the three one-steps in this set.

1. L Punch > L KH block + R Punch:
Attack: Right face level punch. Defense: Step forward with the right foot 45 degrees into a horse stance and deliver a left mid-section punch. Simultaneously perform a left outward single knife hand block and right face level punch. Kihap!

2. L Punch > L KH block + R KH strike
Attack: Right inward knife hand strike to the neck. Defense: Step forward with the right foot 45 degrees into a horse stance and deliver a left mid-section punch. Simultaneously perform a left outward single knife hand block and right inward knife hand strike to the neck. Kihap!

3. L Punch > L KH block + R Spear Hand Attack:
Right flat spear had thrust to the throat. Defense: Step forward with the right foot 45 degrees into a horse stance and deliver a left mid-section punch. Simultaneously perform a left outward single knife hand block and right flat spear hand to the pit of the throat. Kihap!
