八极拳是少林拳中的实战套路。拳法中栽拳、砸拳、劈拳、体现密林伏虎的打虎之势，走如风，站如钉、眼若闪电拳似流星，桩步和行步交替出现，静如山岳，动似江河一气呵成

This is a practical routine in Shaolinquan. Movements such as plant, hammer and strike should be conducted forcefully and quickly as if he was fighting a tiger in a forest. While performing, you should move like the wind, stand like a nail with your eyes as bright as lightning, or flash your punches on the enemy. All of the movements are conducted almost in one breath.
