Single Whip ( dān biān) is a common posture found in most forms of T'ai Chi Ch'uan. Typically at the end of the posture the left hand is in a palm outward push and the right hand held in the form of a hook. A notable exception is the Single Whip in Sun style, which finishes with both hands open, palms outward. There are also variations on the theme to be found in some T'ai Chi weapons forms.
