Set Sparring

At every level above 10th Gup, you will introduced to step sparring. These are pre-arranged attacks and defences performed with a partner. These exercises help you learn the correct distance and angle for attack and defence, as well as working knowledge of the vital spots and the correct tools to target them with. Obviously self control is a must when performing step sparring since you have a ‘live target’. Used well and taken seriously step sparring will greatly enhance your applied knowledge. You will likely practice step-sparring moves from across the syllabus in class, but you will only be tested on the ones relevant to your grade level.
