Complete One and Three Step Sparring

Rating:
Summary: Not practical
Review: There are probably over a hundred one and three step techniques shown in this book. Of those, only about five are actually usefull (and those are extremley basic). Most of the techniques would require inhuman ability to perform in a real-life situation. For example, in most of the illustrations, Master Cho is well into his technique before his attacker has even moved. Also, his attacker stops about two feet short of hitting Master Cho, so that Cho has plenty of time and space to move around in.

Summary: THIS IS A GREAT BOOK !
Review: This is a great book to own! It gives a thorough description of one and three step sparring, the pre-arranged attacking and defensive movements utilizing kicks, punches, and blocks. As a considerably new martial artist, I find this book very easy to follow. The book gives all the little details that are so easily missed in class.
