What is Model Sparring?

What is Model Sparring? Model Sparring is sort of like Reverse Attacks- there are two sides, an attacker and a defender, and the attacker will step back into a fighting stance (or possibly a walking stance) and kihap, and the defender will kihap in jumbi, in a parallel ready stance. Then the attacker will make an attacking movement or several attacking movements, and the defender will defend him or herself. The Model Sparring sets can include quick exchanges of however many movements desired, and one of the two wins. But within the Model Sparring, there must also be slow motion movements, and these movements should repeat a technique that just happen. The fighters in the Model Sparring fight are allowed to fall down. The whole set-up is pre-arranged.

You are required to make up Model Sparring for your 2nd dan black belt test at our Taekwon-Do school, and I am very excited to make up mine! Master Bosse suggests to create six very clean Model Sparring sets, and have one where the attacker makes one move, the defender makes one move, and so on with one-technique exchanges until one of them wins (which has to be me) and then one where it is an exchange of two techniques until one of them wins.

And yes, in that Korean Taekwon-Do Team demonstration, the step-sparring in the beginning seems to be Model Sparring, from what I read about it in the Encyclopedia of Taekwon-Do.
