Not sure I understand... do you have to do X of them in per sparring match? I personally hate to use them when sparring. For one, my size means I can't disguise it well and two, I just don't find it effective in scoring/hitting. nah, ATA has what are called sparring combinations which are quick umm, i guess what would be considered, example combos of what you might do in sparring. These are for the red belt, you say? My red belt manual doesn't have them listed, so I am unaware of them. Are they standard requirements, or is it something new?
