八字法訣

三換二捋一擠按,搭手遇掤莫讓先。
柔裡有剛攻不破,剛中無柔不為堅。
避人攻守要採列,力在驚彈走螺旋。
逞勢進攻貼身肘,肩胯膝打靠為先。

薑容樵


"Among three exchanges, there are two Rollbacks and one Push or Press. Once the opponent arms are attached and Ward-off is found, one should not allow the opponent to move first.
When there is hardness within softness, it is impossible to break through. If there is no softness within hardness, then it is not really strong.
To avoid the opponent’s offense and defense, one must use Pluck and Split. Power is manifested through a surprising spiral.
When in advantageous situation, advance closely to the body of the opponent and use Elbow Strike. When using Bump, shoulders, hips and knees are the first to be used for striking."

Based on the translation by 楊俊敏 Yang Jwing Ming presented in the book 太極拳楊氏先哲秘要 Tai Chi Secrets of the Yang Style
