“Open” means both partners have mirrored stances (e.g. if one partner is in left stance, the other is in right stance)

“Closed” means both partners have the same foot forward (e.g. both have right foot forward).

Stepping “outside” means stepping toward the attacker’s back.

Stepping “inside” means stepping toward the attacker’s front.

Techniques

Both partners begin in closed stance. Attacker performs the attacking technique. Defender performs the defense and then the counter. Generally, the attack is a sliding kick and the defense is a step back and counter. Attacker jump switches and then both partners perform their roles on the other side.  Then the former defender goes on the attack.
