Semi Free Sparring 

 

Semi Free Sparring is the last stage before the Tae Kwon Do student enters into free sparring. The distance between students, method of attack, and defense used are completely optional. However, many Instructors predetermine the attacks to be used in this format. Eventually, students are able to set their own attacks. Master Drysdale VII Dan
