☴ 巽卦鳳形學 

巽卦者,⾵風之象也;⾵風輪輪掌者,拳之式也。巽者⼊入也,巽得坤之初陰,初陰主潛進,故居東南陽盛之⽅方。其於物也,則為鳳形,其物為⽻羽蟲之⻑⾧長,有展翅之功;以拳式之⽤用⾔言,有點頭之式,有挾⼈人之法,此拳亦為獅⼦子滾球之形;以拳之形式⾔言,謂之⾵風輪輪掌。此拳上剛健,⽽而下柔順,有⾵風輪輪之形,故取象為巽卦。

Xun Trigram Phoenix System Theory  The Xun Trigram is symbolic of wind. In martial arts, it is the Windmill Palm. Xun is entering. Xun obtains the beginning of Yin from Kun, which signifies concealed entering, and occupies southeast, the position of abundant Yang. As to objects, it is the form of the Phoenix, the elder of all birds, having the ability to extend its wings. As applied in martial arts, it has the form of nodding the head and the ability to trap under the arm. It also has the form of the lion rolling the ball. The martial form is called the Windmill palm. It is strong above, while smooth below, having the form of a windmill; this is taken from the Xun Trigram. 

Phoenix fighting method - It uses a whipping strength, the arms are like saw blades, whirling and turning left and right

Phoenix changing - Now you see it, now you don’t. Alternating vigorous then flowing, difficult to distinguish light from heavy

Phoenix characteristics - The shoulder is like an axle, arms move like the wind. On contact, cutting to the bone

Phoenix force method - Feet are agile, waist directs across, shoulder emits power, palms like wind

The eight attack methods of Phoenix System

闪 Dodging - swinging the arm like a baseball bat or slapping with the palm in whirling, horizontal or arcing strikes

展 Extending - serrating outward, repeatedly pushing, filing, rolling out, stuffing in劈 Chopping - using the forearm like a blade, in large arcs of motion振 Shocking - violent vibrating, shaking force generated from the core out into the limbs化 Transforming - scrape, file, roll over, turn out to dissolve force, keep it from being full卸 Removing - empty out opponent by breaking contact拳 Curling In - palm held in a fist, fist changing to palm, drawing in and holding inward碴 Stabbing - the tips of the palms used in arced, glancing strokes
