歌訣十一、降人法

快打慢兮不足誇，
強制弱兮不為佳。
最好比人高一招，
盼顧中定不空發。

"One should not boast of being fast to be beat the slow,
One should not be pleased by using force to subdue the weak.
It is best to compare oneself with someone with great and unique skills,
With center equilibrium and nothing else to develop."

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"
