Model Sparring-Mo-bom Motsogi

 Introduced at the I Dan Level

 

Model Sparring shows the beauty and grace of Tae Kwon Do techniques. Students are able to demonstrate their techniques and show their abilities in Tae Kwon Do. Model Sparring is a choreographed step sparring movement. The student will executer his/her technique at regular speed and then repeats in a slow motion showing the defenses and attacks. Oftentimes, model sparring is used at demonstrations to show the people the applications of Tae Kwon Do. Balance and correctness of technique is essential to perform this step sparring format.

1.      Attacker and Defender will still follow all the procedures of step sparring formats. How to bow, come to parallel ready, step, etc.

2.      Attacker will perform his/her attack against the Defender.

3.      Defender will respond to attack in usual advanced one-steps format.

4.      Both the attacker and defender will come to Parallel Ready Stance.

5.      Both the attacker and defender will repeat the original format in a slow motion.

6.      Attacker will begin his/her attack, when designated by Defender, in a slow motion.

7.      Defender will step into appropriate stance and perform his/her block in slow motion.

8.      Defenders counter attacks will also be performed in a slow motion.

9.      Counter attacks should be multiple in make-ups. They should consist of consecutive techniques; combination consecutive techniques and can include jump kicks so the Defender can show his/her ability in Tae Kwon do.
