- Ippon kumite,
or one step sparring, follows the exact same rules of etiquette
and training structure as Gohon and Sanbon kumite, but restricts
the students to only one opportunity to demonstrate proper technique,
target and distancing. At this stage, setting target and distance
prior to commencing should not be required of the students. The
counter-attack is now executed after each blocking technique,
therefore, learning to reduce the time between blocking and counter-attacking
becomes more important.
- The attacker
learns to make single, explosive attacks and learns to reduce
telegraphing the attacks, while the defender learns to recognize
incoming attacks and to react accordingly. Ippon kumite is the
best method for handling various attacks and kicking techniqes.
- It is also
superior for practicing evasion, since doing so for multiple step
techniques will continually put the defender off-line. The nature
of this exercise now allows for different iterations for one step
sparring such as, changing footwork, angles, evasion, or even
having the attacker counter-attack the defenders counter-attack.
- The possibilities
are endless. Ippon kumite is demonstrated in front of the examiner
for 6th kyu to 3rd kyu (green to brown belt). During an examination,
the student must demonstrate various different counter-attacks
in response to the sequence of attacks put toward them.
