Why do we practice One-Step and Three-Step sparring?
These drills are not fighting training. They are teaching tools:
- Distance: Learn to feel your partner enter range and move into the right position.
- Control: Learn to attack when required, or counter accurately. Control is what makes power usable.
- Block and counter: A block isn’t the end of a technique, it’s the beginning of the next.
- Critics say they’re unrealistic. True, but a musician plays scales before improvising. These drills are our scales.
- Attack with sincerity, defend with awareness, finish with control. Train with patience, and the value will reveal itself.
