Illustration of the basic movements of Yongchun

 The principle of "not moving elbow" also plays an important role in Yongchun boxing. Theoretically, its principle is like typhoon. The eye of typhoon is usually static, but its periphery has continuity and powerful destructive power. The principle of the immovable elbow is the same. With the elbow as the center, the hand and arm can move at any angle and direction to produce incomparable power. However, the elbow will never move. The position of the elbow can keep two inches away from the body, and the elbow is inward. Although the elbow is a fixed center, it is not rigid, because the elbow can be a device to assist the palm and arm, If the wrist is unable to control the pressure of the opponent, the elbow can be used as an auxiliary force to relieve the pressure of the opponent. The elbow of the right hand is the center of the circle, and the forearm is the radius to swing up and down. The position of the left hand is based on the distance between the thumb and the body and the little finger and the elbow of the right hand.

If the elbow is too close to the body, the action of the arm will be restrained; if the elbow is too far away from the body, the function of the elbow can not be correctly played.

According to the correct "fixed elbow" principle, the range of hand and arm movement is limited to the height of the eyebrows and the horizontal line of the thighs, and the width of the shoulders is limited to the left and right. In the square area formed by this standard, the elbow can play the highest function.
