Sparring at every grade

Sparring page
A new Sparring tab in the Library covers all nine types, from three-step sparring for beginners to the black belt types: how each one works, which grades practise it and which gradings test it, with a step-by-step start for three-step sparring.
Open the Sparring page
Black belt sparring
The Your Next Grading card on your dashboard now shows the sparring for black belt tests: free sparring with foot technique sparring at the early Dan gradings, then free sparring with self-defence techniques.

Sparring in the glossary
A new entry for semi-free sparring (Ban Jayu Matsogi), and every sparring entry now says which grades practise it.

Footwork diagrams, a technique index and corrected Korean

Footwork diagrams
Every pattern page has a Show footwork button. Each movement gets a footprint diagram: which foot moves, where it goes, and which way you end up facing, drawn to the stance measurements.

Technique Index
A new Index tab in the Library lists every technique and stance in the 24 patterns: the pattern where it first appears and every movement that uses it. Search in English or Korean.
Open the Index
Special motions
Pattern pages now mark the movements performed in fast, slow or continuous motion, and the consecutive kicks, with a summary of each.
See Dan-Gun
82 new quiz questions
36 on how movements are performed ("In Dan-Gun, how are movements 13 and 14 performed?") and 46 on where techniques first appear, each filed under the belt that learns the pattern.
Practise
Corrected Korean
Korean names restored where words had been dropped: twin is Sang (Sang Palmok Makgi), flying is Twimyo, side front is Yop Ap. Settled spellings for Ollyo, Hullyo and Gongjung Chagi, and a few typos fixed.
Stances
Added the diagonal stance (Sasun Sogi) and corrected the vertical stance: both feet 15 degrees inward.
