有三扣,即
一。兩肩要扣,則前胸空闊,氣力到肘。
二。手背足背要扣,則氣力到手,跟步力厚。
三。牙齒要扣,則筋骨緊縮。
是謂之三扣。

李存義


"Fasten. The three things that must be fastened are:
a) Both shoulders should be fastened. The chest is empty and broad. The qi strength arrives in the elbows.
b) If the backs of the hands and feet are fastened, then the qi strength will arrive in the hands and heels will be deep.
c) The teeth must be buckled. Then the tendons and bones will tighten and contract.
These are the three things that must be fastened."

From the book Xingyi Connected Fist (形意連環拳), by Lǐ Cúnyì (李存義), and from Xingyi Mother Fists (形意母拳) by Jiāng Róngqiáo (薑容樵) based on the translations by Joseph Crandall
