2 STEP SPARRING 1-4 / 3 STEP SEMI FREE SPARRING (INTERMEDIATE)
Two Step Sparring is the next level in Step Sparring. Ibo Matsoki Is designed for the intermediate student to learn more advanced techniques, using the same focus, distance and timing as in 3 step sparring, but with more varied attacks, thus also allowing the attacking student to develop various combinations.
SEMI FREE SPARRING
You will be asked to show what is deemed as a intermediate level of skill and technique during this exercise – this will be demonstrated by your instructure.
Definition: Semi-Free works where an attacker will launch a series of attacks. These attacks will not be pre-arranged as they are in Step Sparring. The defender is to defend from this series of attacks and is also allowed to counter with their own attacks.
FREE SPARRING
Free Sparring is where an individual will use all forms of techniques and combinations against their opponent, with no pre-arranged movements like Step Sparring.
You will be asked to demonstrate your technical ability in several rounds of Free Sparring. Showing good attack/defensive skills along with good movement and combinations.
