歌訣十一

上步合胯倒步掰，
換掌換式矮身骸。
進退退進隨機勢，
只要腰腿巧安排。

"Step forward coordinated with tights and backward with control.
When changing palms and changing steps, one should lower the body structure.
Forward and retreat, retreat and forward according to the opportunity.
As long as waist and legs are coordinated this can be arranged."

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"
