Oh Dan closes the series. It gathers ideas from the earlier forms — crossed arms, a jump or skip in some schools, knife hands at angles — and asks the student to keep one rhythm across a longer sequence. Treat it as a review, not a pile of new tricks.

What to watch for

• Memory over a long sequence
• Cross-arm motions that open into a strike
• Finishing as clean as the first move
