A snippet from the Wu (Hao) long form.

Unlike the Yang long form, the Wu (Hao) characteristic is rather like that of a robot. However, don’t let the relatively little movements deceive you for this is an important method to train intention to move the body.

Wu (Hao) also uses a power issuing method referred to as Open-Close. This is the other reason why this form looks the way it does; because the design has to cater for the use of Open-Close in attack and defence.
