| One Step Sparring is a controlled exercise where the attacker only takes one step throwing one punch. The response varies depending on which number is called. While each One Step Sparring is unique, they all begin the same way (see below). | ||
 |
||
| The attacker (the figure on the right) prepares to step forward and throw a single punch. Depending upon the 1-Step Sparring number called, it will either be a low punch, middle punch, or face punch. The figure on the left prepares in ready stance. | ||

 |
 |
| Attack: Middle punch | ||
| Response: Step to the side at a 45° angle into a Ju Chum Seo stance, inside block the attack, then double punch into the side. | ||

One Step Sparring – 4
Attack: Middle Punch
Response: Response: Step to the side at a 45° angle, chop down on the wrist of the punching arm. Grab and rotate the wrist, using your thumb to go slightly underneath the wrist for leverage to twist the hand and arm. Twist the hand and arm, which well bend your opponent over slightly and deliver a roundhouse kick to the stomach (kyop!) Follow this roundhouse kick with a downward low side kick to the inside of the knee. Step down with your right foot, bring your left foot over so you are practically behind your opponent, fully twist the arm up and behind the back.
