Per the TTA Testing Requirements Notes, kicks learned at the previous belt level are now performed in a skipping motion: the opponent is pursued with a skipping motion while the kick is executed, the supporting foot makes contact with the ground the moment the kicking foot makes contact, and skipping kicks can be performed with either the lead or rear foot. (See Kicking Terms in the Testing Notes.)
No new stances at this level. Do-San uses the Parallel ready stance, Walking stance, L-stance and Sitting stance; their specifications are on the 8th Gup Techniques page.
