Required Theory:

What is the meaning of the pattern Do San? Do san is the pseudonym of the patriot Ahn Chang-Ho (1876-1938), who devoted his life to furthering the education of Korea and its independent movement.

 

How many movements in the pattern Do San? 24 movements

 

Why do we do 3 step semi free sparring? This form of sparring is designed as a step forward from the basic 3 step sparring. It involves 3 attacks and 3 blocks, plus a counter attack.

(3 step semi-free sparring should not be hurried, the secret is reaction force and quick intelligent movements).
