•橫拳之綱/Heng Quan’s Main Points

前手陽拳後手陰, 後手只在脅下藏。

換式出手腳提起, 身法一站氣能通。

舌尖上捲氣外發, 橫拳換式剪子股。

斜身要步腳手落, 後手翻陽望外發。

落步陽拳三尖對, 鼻尖腳尖緊相連。

橫拳打法後拳陰, 前手陽拳肘護心。

左右開弓望外發, 腳手齊落舌尖捲。

The front hand is a Yang Fist the rear hand is Yin, the rear hand is hidden just below the ribs. When exchanging forms the outgoing hand & foot rise, the Body Method is upright & whole so the qi is able to circulate. The tongue curls upward when the qi is issued externally, Heng Quan exchanges forms with Scissor Thighs. An Oblique Body is vital, the feet & hands fall with the steps, the rear hand overturns & becomes Yang when emitted toward the outside. When the step & Yang Fist fall the Three tips Match, the tip of the nose & tip of the foot are connected tightly. In Heng Quan’s Striking Method the rear hand is Yin, the front hand is Yang, & the elbows protects the heart. Left & Right Bend the Bow & emit toward the outside, the feet & hands simultaneously fall as the tip of the tongue curls upward.
