Set sparring 

Sambo Matsoki (3 step)

Ibo Matsoki (2 step)

Ilbo Matsoki (1 step)

These also take an important part of the grading syllabus with most ITF associations including 1, 2 and 3 step sparring. These are a set series of defending and attacking movements that are practised with a partner. 

These will vary between the various associations but they generally increase in difficulty from yellow to black belt, from a structured set of blocks to a basic stepping punch to a complex response to an attack that has been created by  the student themselves. These types of attack and defence scenarios are practised both with self-defence applications and preparation for free-sparring.
