Fifth Secret Song (歌訣五) from the The Thirty-Six Songs of Baguazhang (八卦掌三十六歌)

歌訣五

步既轉兮手亦隨,
後掌穿出前掌回。
去來來去無二致,
要如弩箭離弦飛。
"The steps turn and the hands follow
The rear palm bores out and the front palm returns
Go and come, come and go, without two (different) goals.
One must be like an arrow leaving the string of a crossbow."

Based on the translations by Yang Jwing Ming (楊俊敏) and Liang Shou You (梁守渝) in "Baguazhang - Theory and Applications" (峨嵋八卦掌) and by Frank Allen and Tina Chunna Zhang in "The Whirling Circles of Ba Gua Zhang"
