New Movement:
Stepping
Stepping involves moving either backwards or forwards in a fighting stance while keeping your body sideways. To move forwards, the back foot will step forward and to move backwards, the front foot will step back. The step is done in the motion of a straight line to be as quick as possible instead of taking a round step which opens up your body to your opponent in sparring. The key is to step fast!
Stepping can be used as a way to get closer to your opponent to attack or to disguise a kick for example a spinning back kick. Similarly, it can be used to step back to set up an opportunity by creating space to counter your opponent.

1. Three for Three Kicking
‘Three for Three Kicking’ is the same as ‘Two for Two Kicking’ but instead of doing one kick each, each person will do 3 kicks.
The person doing the three kicks will go forwards thrice.
The person being ‘kicked on’ [no contact though] should go back on their partners second and third kick only, then switch roles.
2. Basic One Step Sparring
‘One Step Sparring’ is an exercise done in Partners. It is an exercise where one person attacks using a punch to their Partner’s chin height [without making contact, just an inch or so away], then the other person will block the punch and counter-strike the partner who tried to punch them.
