As Elvis leaves the stage in his final concert tour, he makes a hand gesture. I can reveal that it is a KARATE hand gesture- specifically KENPO KARATE.

This was Elvis' last-ever concert tour; this sensational clip is from Rapid City June 21, 1977 and was one of the shows which was professionally filmed for TV.
