Ellbogen - Elbow force.

The Song of the Eight Ways

The Song of Ellbow-Stroke

(attributed to T´an Meng-hsien)

How can we explain the energy oft Ellbow-stroke?

Our method must be reckoned by the Five Elements.

Yin and Yang are divided above and below,

and full and empty should be clearly

distinguished.

The opponent can´t keep up whith our

continuous movement,

and our explosive pounding is even fiercer.

When the six energies have been

thoroughly mastered,

then the applications will be infinite.
