心意六合拳時母五把

歌曰：

肘打把勢藝相連，奧妙盡存步法間；

妙一催二二催三，勒馬停風(fēng)其勢鮮。

心意六合拳肘技之法，主要是盤、沉、橫、挑加“地炮”（俗名地抱肘，拉錨斷繩）五種肘法。故有“肘母五把”之謂。

肘法實用時多以步法配合，因而更為靈活兇猛。盤肘擊法，功用在擊敵之太陽及耳根穴；沉肘功在擊敵之鎖骨、后頸和背心；橫肘功在擊敵之面部、胸部、肋部；挑肘功在擊敵之心窩、下腭；地炮肘功在背向挑擊敵之襠部、腹部及胸部。具體運用之法全在自己的靈活掌握之中，下面遂將每種肘法作一示范，僅供參考。

一、盤肘技法：

雙方對峙而立（圖1）。（注：我方以輕步站對之，以下幾式均同）。

假設(shè)敵方以進(jìn)左步出左直拳朝我方上盤進(jìn)擊而來時，我方迅速前移左步，左掌朝斜前方劈擊對方左肘臂曲池部位（圖2）。

緊隨外旋腕扣指壓砸敵臂，左、右腳前步的同時，上體左旋，右臂盤肘擊向敵左側(cè)耳門（圖3）。

不讓敵方倒跌的瞬間，左手屈肘，上體右旋，再次盤肘擊敵方右側(cè)耳門及頸部，徹底將敵打斃（圖4）。

要點：在運用盤肘對付敵人時，不一定要拘泥于形式上去，只要敵方一出拳腳，我方以靜制動，在化格敵的拳腳同時，迅即發(fā)動肘擊進(jìn)攻；要有起勢如崩墻倒，落地如樹栽根的氣勢，肘發(fā)連環(huán)，爆發(fā)勁有如雷打電擊。

二、沉肘技法

雙方相峙而立時（圖5）。

當(dāng)對方前進(jìn)右腳一步接近我方的同時，用左直拳朝我方面部擊打來時；我方左腳后撤退一步，右掌前托抖擊對方左小臂外側(cè)，并向其右下推，將其攻勢化解掉（圖6）。緊接著，我方左腳上步成剪子股步，同時右手下落將敵左臂下裹壓，左手五指叉開擊向敵面，迫使其低頭避躲（圖7）。

在對方低頭的瞬間，我方左手抬臂屈肘猛的下沉砸在敵方頭頂百會穴及后腦部，將其打仆于地（圖8）。

要點：沉肘之法一般都是由上下落，先起而后落，發(fā)勁極速極整，剛爆悍脆，如雷炸冰裂一般，力之所至，土崩石裂。

三、橫肘技法

雙方相峙而立（圖9）。

當(dāng)對方前進(jìn)右腳一步接近我方的同時，右直拳直奔我方面門擊打而來時；我方迅速沉身成剪子股步，同時左手五指叉開朝剪劈壓對方右拳腕背外側(cè)，將其攻勢化掉（圖10）。

緊隨右腳朝對方襠前上步，右臂反彈其右臂外側(cè)，將敵方整條右臂朝上方彈得揚舉而起，并使其上體左偏（圖11）。

我方動作不停，迅速右旋身，兩腿交跌屈蹲的同時，右手橫肘擊向敵方右側(cè)脅肋（圖12）。

在敵方肋部被擊而骨折痛楚難當(dāng)，尚未跌地之際，我方緊隨起身右橫肘，擊打在對方面部或咽喉部；將其徹底打跌（圖13）。

要點：橫肘的力量相當(dāng)大，而且也非常好使用，但得注意的是，使用橫肘時要左右連環(huán)，聲東擊西，敵攻我上時，我則矮身低橫肘擊打，敵攻我下時，我用高橫肘擊之。

四、挑肘技法

雙方相峙而立（圖14）。

當(dāng)對方移步進(jìn)身接近我方的瞬間，猛地彈出右腿直撩向我方襠部而來；我方迅速后撤右腳一步成虎撲把式，雙掌猛地下劈其右腳背及踝關(guān)節(jié)頸部，頭、肩、膝成一直線，目視著敵方（圖15）。

在雙掌一劈之下，敵腿被擊落時，我方前滑步上身，右肘猛地朝敵方咽喉及下腭挑擊（圖16）。

在敵方被挑肘擊得仰身的同時，我方左挑肘緊隨發(fā)出，挑擊敵方胸心膻中部位，將其擊斃于地（圖17）。

要點：挑肘與沉肘是一對用法剛好相反的肘法，挑擊之力有如崩斷繩索，翻弓斷弦，橫開三簧鎖一般。在運用中，不論對方或立或屈身，我方均可擊之，同時可與橫肘配合使用。

五、地炮肘技法

雙方相峙而立（圖18）。

當(dāng)對方猛上右腳一大步接近我方的同時，左擺拳朝我方頭部擊打而來，氣勢猛烈使我方難以招架之際，我方迅速兩膝內(nèi)扣沉身下屈，兩臂相抱成貓洗臉或躲避開對方的左擺拳（圖19）。

在剛避過其拳的同時，我方上體右旋，右腳朝敵襠前退步，乘勢右肘猛的后拉提，猛擊向?qū)Ψ揭d部（圖20）。

右肘一擊中敵襠，迅即左旋體，左肘朝后拉擊向敵方胸腹部，使敵兩次受重?fù)舳▓D21）。

要點：地炮肘的隱避性相當(dāng)強，力量又大，一旦用上，可一肘就要敵命?！妒囟磯m技》中的“拉錨斷繩”即指此肘法，其曰：“虎歸窩，尾作頭；臂尖打，藝難求；拉錨斷，纜疾意；前后崩，神鬼愁”。對付身后偷襲之?dāng)常顬榍‘?dāng)不過了，雖向后擊打，須掌握好重心。
