GENERAL QUESTIONS:

Why do we do IBO MATSOKI (2-step sparring)? Ibo Matsoki Is designed for the intermediate student to learn more advanced techniques, using the same focus, distance and timing as in 3 step sparring, but with more varied attacks, thus also allowing the attacking student to develop various combinations. 

Apart from the interpretation of Yul Gok, what else makes the 38th degree latitude important?  It is the border between South and North Korea.
