歌訣六

穿時指掌貼肘行，
後肩改做前肩承。
莫要距離莫猶疑，
步入襠兮是準繩。

"When boring, the palm moves straight forward closely along the elbow
The rear shoulder transforms and continues as the front shoulder
One shall not separate nor hesitate,
To step into the opponent’s crotch is the standard."

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