It is funny you bring up step sparring. I have never understood it. Besides thinking it was useless I have always wondered why one step sparring was called that when there wer actually anywher from 2 to 5 steps. Here are a few samples of the ones I had to learn. We learn three one steps per belt up till green belt. After green belt they arent required for testing.
These are the three white belt one steps. The first two are against a reverse punch and the third a right front snap kick.
1. Right foot steps back to left front stance, Left high block,Right reverse punch,Left punch,Right reverse punch.
2. Left foot steps back to middle stance, Right inner forearm block, Right side kick, Land in middle stance, Right knifehand strike.
3. Right foot steps back to left front stance, Left low block, Left front kick, Land in left front stance, Right reverse punch, Left punch.
I am going to skip to green belt now and give you the last three we learn.
The first two are again defenses against reverse punches. The third this time is against a left jump side kick.
1. Left foot steps back left rear stance to evade, Right repeat side kick, Right foot steps down to left foot, Left reverse crescent kick to know the guard away, Land in left sparring stance, Left backfist, Right reverse punch, Left round kick.
2. Left foot moves to left to evade in left front stance, Right horizontal spearhand, Right foot adjusts distance, Left repeat round kick, Left foot steps down to right foot, Right spin crescent kick, Right foot steps down in distance to perform left sliding side kick.
3. Right foot moves to right to evade, forming left sparring stance, Right reverse punch, Left punch, Right ridgehand strike, Left ridgehand strike, Left knifehand strike, Left foot steps back to right sparring stance, Left foot steps to right foot right jump side kick.
