3 Step Sparring

 

When performing 3-Step Sparring, the participants face each other and bow. The attacking person then gets their distance by placing the big toe of their right foot beside the small toe of their opponents left foot. The attacker then brings their right foot back into parallel ready stance and then back to form a left walking stance and outer forearm block with the left arm. The attacker then performs the attacking techniques as below while the opponent defends and counter attacks. The other person then gets their distance in the same way and takes their turn to attack. Each side should do each of the attacking and defending sequences unless told otherwise. 
Note: Students grading for black belt should only need to get their distance once, at the beginning.
