Tenth Secret Song (歌訣十) from the The Thirty-Six Songs of Baguazhang (八卦掌三十六歌)

歌訣十

掌形虎口要掙圓,
中指無名縫開展。
先戳後打施腕骨,
鬆膀長腰跟步躦。
"The shapes of the palms and the tiger mouth areas should be extended and round
The middle and ring finger are stitched together, open and stretched
First poke with the rear, then strike with the wrist bone.
Loosen the uppen arms, extend the waist towards the heels, a step to jump."

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"
