The Song of Sword Practice

練劍歌
頭腦心眼如司令。
手足腰胯如部曲。
內勁倉庫丹田是。
精氣神膽須充足。
內外工夫勤修練。
身劍合一方成道。
Song of Sword Practice
The Mind is like a commanding officer.
The hands, feet, waist, hips, are like the troops.
Internal power is stored in the dantian.
Jing, qi, shen and courage must be abundant.
Internal and external skills must be practiced diligently.
Then the body and sword become one achieving the dao.
武當劍法大要
Fundamentals of the Wudang Sword Method
trans. S.M. Rodell
