At Kowkabany’s Family Martial Arts Center in Tampa, Florida, we use the copyrighted Sparring Combinations of the ATA (American Taekwondo Association) and WTTU (World Traditional Taekwondo Union) as part of our standard curriculum for our Adult Students, Karate Kids and Tiny Tigers.
These combinations were designed to teach the martial arts student how to throw multiple techniques rapidly in a sparring situation, with the techniques and footwork advancing in complexity as the student progresses through the ranks of the traditional art of Songahm Taekwondo. Students will learn these during their regular lessons, however, this reference sheet may prove helpful for practicing at home.
