使用蹬腳法為奇,蹬法運用腳跟力,

腳跟之勁不一般,足跟大筋腦脊連。

To apply the Treading Foot Method is wonderful, the Treading Method uses the heel’s strength, the heel’s Jin is uncommon, the large tendon on the heel of the foot connects to the spine & head. 

周身發力骨與筋,腳跟蹬力這裡尋,

前腳未落后脚起,二起腿法是此理,

彼人前腳已躲過,我腳隨后緊相隨。

The front foot has yet to fall as the rear foot rises, this is the principle of Two Rising Legs, other people first kick than excessively dodge, my feet soon after follow each other close at hand. 

彼想躲避不容易,解此招法身法急,

一要自己隨身倒,二是提身懸中起。

Others think dodging isn’t easy, the Body Method must be quick to understand this method of use, first you must follow the body’s downward movement, second is to lift the body & hang while rising. 

倒名仙姑臥絲床,鈍鐮割谷妙中藏,

Overthrow his fame with Sorceress Lies on the Silk Couch, there is subtlety hidden within Blunt Sickle Mows the Valley, contain him with Advance the Body Hooking Hanging Stomp, Black Dragon Coils the Pillar Dots the chest with the knee.  

身隨提起是貼碑,用此避法躲時機,

八卦掌法九宮濟,腳代掌用顯神奇,

雖然八卦乾坤步,腳隨坎離用法宜。

Baguazhang’s Method is aided by the Nine Palaces, it’s a miraculous display when the foot replaces the palm in application, although Bagua uses Qian & Kun Steps, the feet should comply with the Kan & Li Application Methods when suitable.  

掌用招法乾坤定,坎離進招用腳擊,

用腳發招身法濟,左右獻傳動尺機。

In the Palm Applications method of use Qian & Kun are set, Kan & Li Entering maneuvers use the foot to strike, in Applications the foot issues maneuvers aided by the Body Method, the left & right put on display & transmitted, move & grasp the opportunity.

眾語八卦無有腿,其實此語是妄言。

When there are many people all around, Horizontally Sweeping One Thousand Soldiers s neither costly nor difficult, the masses say Bagua doesn’t have legs, in fact this saying is nonsense.

有人學會此腿法,要想敵其難上難,

董師傳藝數十載,奧妙之術用口傳。

There are people who have mastered these Leg Methods, if you want to be a match for them it will be difficulty upon difficulty, Master Dong passed on the art for ten years, orally transmitting the profound art of Application. 

不盛藝者不輕傳,誤傳他人受牽連,

他人只知掌中掌,不知暗腳内中藏。

It is an uncommon skill that should not be transmitted lightly, it is a mistake to pass it on to someone implicated in trouble, people only know of the Palms within the Palms, they’re unaware of the secret legs concealed within. 

彼已動手注重掌,我掌不發用腳傷,

雖說練藝不忌度,留點絕技來提防。

Others then set about paying attention to the Palms, I don’t issue my Palms instead using my feet to injure, even if you talk about perfecting the art don’t dread spending the time, be vigilant & keep at it until you arrive at consummate skill.  

萬一遇上大敵手,就用此法把他傷,

古有南拳北腿說,就在篇中細探索。
