>歌訣二十一

用到極處須轉身，
脫身化影不留痕。
如何變換端在步，
出入進退腰先伸。

"When the application has reached its extreme point, the body must turn.
Get away and transform oneself in a shadow without leaving a trace.
The way to transform is in the stepping.
To exit and to enter, to advance and to retreat, the waist is the first to extend."

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"
