NO		ATTACK	DEFENSE	NOTES
Get a partner. One plays the role of the ‘attacker,’ the other plays the ‘defender.’ Both must Focus on the practice to ensure safety. Do not hit each other! Apply the following steps (in order) at the beginning of each self-defense application: Both players stand at attention and bow at start and at finish. Both players switch to ready stance. Come back to ready stance after each application. Attacker steps back into the required stance and yells Ki-hap! to say Ready!!! Defender remains at ready stance and yells Ki-hap! only when ready.
