Compulsory Three-Step Sparring

Description:

Three-step sparring is an extension of two-step sparring. The flow of compulsory three-step sparring is as follows:
  1. The attacker steps forward with the first attack. The defender reacts.
  2. The attacker steps forward with the second attack. The defender reacts.
  3. The attacker steps forward with the third attack, which is identical to the one-step sparring attack. The defender reacts.
  4. The defender does the prescribed counter-attack.
The protocol remains the same as one-step compulsories. As with the one-step routines, students are expected to perform these compulsories on both the left and right. The following routines are written for the right side.

Routine One:

First Block Step back into a right walking stance, rising block with the outer forearm
Second Attack Left L-stance, front kick
Second Block Step back into a right walking stance, low block with the outer forearm
Third Attack Right walking stance, center section punch
Third Block Step back into a right L-stance, middle block with inner forearm
Counter Attack Move the right leg into a sitting stance 45° offset from your opponent, right center section punch

Notes: The force of your punch should be perpendicular to the imaginary line connecting your opponent's feet.

First Attack Step forward into a right walking stance, downward strike with the hammer fist
