my test was about two-two and a half hours. first came line drills, then about twenty open handed and weapon forms. then came self defense, then self defesne against a knife, then regular one steps, then came pyung ahn one steps, then fighting, then stamina drills, the board breaking, the terminology/history/philosophy grading. it was BRUTAL!

Hi NewEnglands_KyoSa,

What are "pyung ahn one steps"? Are they a type of pre-arranged sparing, and if so how were they different to your regular one steps?

Hi Zanshin,

pyung ahn one steps are derived from our five Pyung Ahn Forms(or hyungs). they are actually pieces of the form put together in the form of one steps that simulate a piece of the fight thats going on in the form. the attacker and defender are both active, this means, the attacker does not just throw a face punch. and we have nine of them(18 parts). so yes i supposed you could call it pre arranged sparring but, it comes from those five forms.

Ah, that's kind of cool. Like bunkai almost, right?

Thanks guys,

Question then, do you take the techniques found in the Pyung Ahns and apply them in any other way outside of the "one steps".

uhm yes and no. you find that you might use some of the techniques when doing knife self defense, or hand to hand self defense, or sword self defense, only because you make these up on your own. so are they in anything else in the textbook? not that i can think of. but you might use them in self defense applications.

I see thanks for explaining.
It sounds very similar to something we have in Wado called "Ohyo" Kumite. They are a set of paired techniques that are designed for the student to learn the principles behind the techniques found in Kata.
