Talium one step sparring
One-step sparring is a training exercise designed to help students develop proper technique,
timing, accuracy, and control in a controlled sparring environment.
It typically involves a partner and a set sequence of movements where one person attacks, and
the other responds with a pre-arranged defense and counterattack.
Key features of one-step sparring include:
* Structured sequence
* Focus on technique
* Controlled environment
* Progression
In the talium curriculum, one-step sparring helps students build confidence,
discipline, and foundational skills necessary for more advanced sparring and
self-defense situations.
