THREE STEP SPARRING
(Sambo Matsogi)
For three step, the attacker begins in walking stance outer forearm low block, with the defender in parallel ready stance. The attacker steps forward three times in walking stance performing a middle obverse punch; the defender steps backwards three time performing the same block each time, and after the third step and block performs a counter attack.
Usually the instructor will indicate which blocks and counter attacks they want the defender to use; however to get you started there are some variations listed below:
Starting positions: Attacker - right walking stance, outer forearm low block Defender - parallel ready stance
