How do you approach them? Do Your students learn scripted ones or do they make their own?Ørjan Nilsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03506123119682274818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7969550358686428094.post-78652207079190975152014-03-19T20:39:31.802+01:002014-03-19T20:39:31.802+01:00I love formal sparring which we call one step spar...I love formal sparring which we call one step sparring. I also do kicking one step sparring but I just call it "kick counters" but include it as a type of one step sparring for my students. None of my students are black belts or even close so I do not worry about 2 or 3 step sparring until they get closer to that level. One step sparring is important for self defense and in my training my masters ALWAYS had us do them. I had required ones to memorize with my first instructor then my second instructor who was a korena grandmaster had use make up our own, or gave us some ideas to build on and we just did random ones we wanted and tried out. I think having required ones is better and later when students are higher in rank have them develop their own (but make sure they are realistic). So many schools have the stupidiest and most unrealistic one steps that really make me mad. none of them would ever work and would just get yo killed or you would never even remember to do it if you were attacked. Just like poomsae, one steps train your body to be under your control and have better coordination and crsip technique which will always carry over in real fighting. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
