Student Form #2; Representing Joy. This form teaches the student to use momentum to gain power by shifting from a walking to a forward stance when striking to the side.
Student Form #3; Representing Fire & Sun. This is the last of the beginner forms and teaches the student to use open-handed techniques, multiple moves in combination, as well as twisting the body to gain power by shifting from a back stance to a forward stance.
Student Form #4; Representing Thunder. The first of the intermediate forms, this form introduces the side kick and a backward parrying motion. Walking stances are almost eliminated in this form.
Student Form #5; Representing Wind. This form eliminates the walking stance entirely and focuses on direction of force.
Student Form #6; Representing Water. This form expands on the backwards parrying motion and teaches the student to gain power while moving away from their opponent. This form introduces the round kick.
