Just after the third turn, immediately following the step back with the sword at eye level on the left (as if admiring reflection in the sword) there's a downward stabbing motion. The next move is either a repeat on the other side so the sword moves in a figure of 8 or a normal dropping cut.
The cut version is on the video at 2:36.
I'm curious about the origins of the figure of 8 version.
I'll try and put together video of the two versions for comparison.

seems the figure 8 version is the standard after some digging. Can't find any one who knows where the cut comes from.

I thought that downward cut was part of the standard version too, but I could be thinking of a different form. It's been 2 or 3 years since I practiced 32 sword, so my memory is a little fuzzy.
