Hints:

  • Some traditionally front stance blocks are executed in a back stance. To remember these, the blocks at the end of a line are all in the back stance. The blocks at the beginning of a line are in the front stance.
  • Just like Suh Kang Il Hyung, the opening sequence is repeated in both directions and at the beginning and end of the form. A big difference, is that the forward and backward movements are different.
