| Three step sparring | Three step sparring is designed for the student to learn basic techniques. Three step sparring teaches the student proper distance, correct facing, forearm conditioning, correct blocks, correct stance, counter attacks and timing.
| Two step sparring | Two step sparring is designed for the student to learn advanced techniques, also using the same timing, distance as in three step sparring, but with move vivid attacks, thus allowing the attacking student to develop new combinations.
| One step sparring | One step sparring is the most realistic form of sparring there is, simply cos the defender cannot foresee the attack coming. Therefore, the defender must have quick reflexes, in order to defend and defeat the attacking opponent. This form of sparring is completely different from free sparring as the defender can practise advanced techniques such as take downs, breaking strikes and close quarter combat.
| One step set sparring | One step sparring is designed for the student to learn even more advanced techniques, allowing the defender to practise more advanced techniques such as take downs, breaking strikes and close quarter combat.
| Free sparring | Free sparring is designed for the student to put into practise what they have learnt so far, trying combinations of kicks, punches and strikes with no pre-warning of the attack, not as many defending techniques can be practised as in the set sparring. |
