歌曰：
肘打把势艺相连，奥妙尽存步法间；
妙一催二二催三，勒马停风其势鲜。
心意六合拳肘技之法，主要是盘、沉、横、挑加“地炮”（俗名地抱肘，拉锚断绳）五种肘法。故有“肘母五把”之谓。
肘法实用时多以步法配合，因而更为灵活凶猛。盘肘击法，功用在击敌之太阳及耳根穴；沉肘功在击敌之锁骨、后颈和背心；横肘功在击敌之面部、胸部、肋部；挑肘功在击敌之心窝、下腭；地炮肘功在背向挑击敌之裆部、腹部及胸部。具体运用之法全在自己的灵活掌握之中，下面遂将每种肘法作一示范，仅供参考。
一、盘肘技法：
双方对峙而立（图1）。（注：我方以轻步站对之，以下几式均同）。
假设敌方以进左步出左直拳朝我方上盘进击而来时，我方迅速前移左步，左掌朝斜前方劈击对方左肘臂曲池部位（图2）。
紧随外旋腕扣指压砸敌臂，左、右脚前步的同时，上体左旋，右臂盘肘击向敌左侧耳门（图3）。
不让敌方倒跌的瞬间，左手屈肘，上体右旋，再次盘肘击敌方右侧耳门及颈部，彻底将敌打毙（图4）。
要点：在运用盘肘对付敌人时，不一定要拘泥于形式上去，只要敌方一出拳脚，我方以静制动，在化格敌的拳脚同时，迅即发动肘击进攻；要有起势如崩墙倒，落地如树栽根的气势，肘发连环，爆发劲有如雷打电击。
二、沉肘技法
双方相峙而立时（图5）。
当对方前进右脚一步接近我方的同时，用左直拳朝我方面部击打来时；我方左脚后撤退一步，右掌前托抖击对方左小臂外侧，并向其右下推，将其攻势化解掉（图6）。紧接着，我方左脚上步成剪子股步，同时右手下落将敌左臂下裹压，左手五指叉开击向敌面，迫使其低头避躲（图7）。
在对方低头的瞬间，我方左手抬臂屈肘猛的下沉砸在敌方头顶百会穴及后脑部，将其打仆于地（图8）。
要点：沉肘之法一般都是由上下落，先起而后落，发劲极速极整，刚爆悍脆，如雷炸冰裂一般，力之所至，土崩石裂。
三、横肘技法
双方相峙而立（图9）。
当对方前进右脚一步接近我方的同时，右直拳直奔我方面门击打而来时；我方迅速沉身成剪子股步，同时左手五指叉开朝剪劈压对方右拳腕背外侧，将其攻势化掉（图10）。
紧随右脚朝对方裆前上步，右臂反弹其右臂外侧，将敌方整条右臂朝上方弹得扬举而起，并使其上体左偏（图11）。
我方动作不停，迅速右旋身，两跌屈蹲的同时，右手横肘击向敌方右侧胁肋（图12）。
在敌方肋部被击而骨折痛楚难当，尚未跌地之际，我方紧随起身右横肘，击打在对方面部或咽喉部；将其彻底打跌（图13）。
要点：横肘的力量相当大，而且也非常好使用，但得注意的是，使用横肘时要左右连环，声东击西，敌攻我上时，我则矮身低横肘击打，敌攻我下时，我用高横肘击之。
四、挑肘技法
双方相峙而立（图14）。
当对方移步进身接近我方的瞬间，猛地弹出右腿直撩向我方裆部而来；我方迅速后撤右脚一步成虎扑把式，双掌猛地下劈其右脚背及踝关节颈部，头、肩、膝成一直线，目视着敌方（图15）。
在双掌一劈之下，敌腿被击落时，我方前滑步上身，右肘猛地朝敌方咽喉及下腭挑击（图16）。
在敌方被挑肘击得仰身的同时，我方左挑肘紧随发出，挑击敌方胸心膻中部位，将其击毙于地（图17）。
要点：挑肘与沉肘是一对用法刚好相反的肘法，挑击之力有如崩断绳索，翻弓断弦，横开三簧锁一般。在运用中，不论对方或立或屈身，我方均可击之，同时可与横肘配合使用。
五、地炮肘技法
双方相峙而立（图18）。
当对方猛上右脚一大步接近我方的同时，左摆拳朝我方头部击打而来，气势猛烈使我方难以招架之际，我方迅速两膝内扣沉身下屈，两臂相抱成猫洗脸或躲避开对方的左摆拳（图19）。
在刚避过其拳的同时，我方上体右旋，右脚朝敌裆前退步，乘势右肘猛的后拉提，猛击向对方裆部（图20）。
右肘一击中敌裆，迅即左旋体，左肘朝后拉击向敌方胸腹部，使敌两次受重击而跌（图21）。
要点：地炮肘的隐避性相当强，力量又大，一旦用上，可一肘就要敌命。《守洞尘技》中的“拉锚断绳”即指此肘法，其曰：“虎归窝，尾作头；臂尖打，艺难求；拉锚断，缆疾意；前后崩，神鬼愁”。对付身后偷袭之敌，最为恰当不过了，虽向后击打，须掌握好重心。
The five Elbow Hitting ways in Xinyi Liuhe Quan are made up of Twining Elbow Hitting， Elbow Cutting Down， Transverse Elbow Hitting， Pushing-up Elbow Hitting， and Hitting Back with the Elbow （the hitting back with the elbow is also called as Ground Shot）. So， they’re called as Original Five Ways of Elbow Hitting.
Because elbow hitting is always cooperated with flexible feet moving in the actual fighting， they’re more flexible and fierce. The Twining Elbow Hitting is mainly used to strike the opponent’s ear parts or the temples. The Elbow Cutting Down is mainly used to hit the opponent’s back of the neck or collarbones. The Transverse Elbow Hitting mainly hits the opponent’s chest， face or ribbon parts； the Pushing-up Elbow Hitting is used to hit the opponent’s chin or chest； the Hitting Back with the Elbow mainly attacks the opponent’s crotch， belly or chest. In the actual fighting， the flexibility depends more on the practitioner. Following contents show us how to use them， just as references.
A： Twining Elbow Hitting
Stand facing the opponent .
If the opponent steps up the left foot and attack your chest or head with the left fist， you can quickly move the left foot forward， use the left palm to cut the opponent’s left elbow， cut the actupoint of Quchi .
Then， quickly turn the wrist outside to catch and press the opponent’s arm， at the same time of moving feet upward， turn the body left， twine the right arm and use the elbow to hit the opponent’s ear .
Before the opponent falling down， twine the left arm， turn the body right， use the elbow to hit the opponent’s ear or neck， try to beat him down .
Key points： When using the Twining Elbow Hitting， the practitioner should not be limited in the forms and postures. So long as the opponent attacks you with the foot or hand， you can block his attack and then， swiftly use the elbow to hit him. Your elbow attacking must be one by one continuously and powerfully. When attacking with the elbow， sometimes， the great momentum can pull a wall down； sometimes it is like a rooted tree. The explosion power is like the lightning and thunder.
B： Elbow Cutting Down
Facing the opponent to stand
The opponent steps up the right foot and straightly attacks your face with the left fist. You can move the left foot backward a step， push the right arm out to hit the outside part of his left forearm and then press it down to the right side， try to let his attack useless .
Then， you can move the left foot upward and wave the right hand down to catch and press the opponent’s left arm down， open the fingers on the left hand to hit the opponent’s face， try to force him lower his head to avoid your hand .
Just as the opponent lowers his head， you can raise the left elbow to cut the top of his head or the back fiercely， try to beat him down .
Key points： When using the elbow cutting， it often needs to rise up the fist and then cut it down fiercely. The speed must be high and the power must be great， just like a thunder happening or a big ice block breaking suddenly， as if they can smash the rocks.
C： Transverse Elbow Hitting

When the opponent moves up his right foot to near your body and straightly attacks your face with the right fist， you can quickly lower body and open the fingers on the left hand to cut and press the outside of the opponent’s right wrist， let his attack fail .
Then， move the right foot up to the front of the opponent’s crotch， raise up the right arm to block and bounce the outside of his right arm， try to bounce it up high and let his body move to the left side .
Continually， quickly turn your right， cross the legs and lower your body down， use the left elbow transversely to hit the right side of his ribs part .
Just as the opponent is heavily hurt and will fall down， you can raise up the body and use the right elbow to hit his face or throat transversely， try to defeat him completely .
Key points： The Transverse Elbow Hitting is more powerful and effective than the others， but practitioners should use the left and the right elbows to hit the opponent continuously. When the opponent attacks your upper body， you can use the elbow to hit his belly or legs； if the opponent attacks your belly or legs， you can his upper body. In the actual fighting， try to make a feint to the east and attack in the west.
D： Pushing-up Elbow Hitting
Facing the opponent to stand .
If the opponent fiercely kicks your crotch with the right foot at the moment of approaching your body， you can swiftly draw the right foot to the back， use two palms to cut his foot or ankle， try to keep your head， shoulder and knee on the same line. Glare at the opponent .
After cutting his foot， you can quickly move feet up， push the right elbow up to hit his throat or chin .
While he was pushed up and back his upper body， you should swiftly push the left elbow up to hit his chest， try to hit him down.
Key points： The Pushing-up Elbow Hitting is just opposite to the Elbow Cutting Down. The power of pushing up can break a rope or the string on a bow. In the actual fighting， whether the opponent stands or bends his body， the practitioner can hit him with the Pushing-up Elbow， which， meanwhile can be cooperated with the Transverse Elbow Hitting.
E： Hitting Back with the Elbow
Facing the opponent to stand .
If the opponent moves the right foot up a big step to approach your body and swings the right fist to attack your head， and if the power of his attack is too powerful to block， you can quickly bend knees and lower the body， close two arms to avoid his fist .
Then， you should turn the body right， move the right foot back to the front of his crotch， swiftly push and hook the right elbow backward to hit his crotch .
After that， turn your body left， push and hook the left elbow to hit his belly or chest. The opponent will fall down on the ground by the two powerful hits .
Key points： Because the Hitting Back with the Elbow is lurking and powerful， it can make the opponent die. In the article ‘secret skills of the cave’， it is called as ‘pulling out the anchor and breaking the rope’. It is said in the article that ‘It is like a tiger backing its cave then， turning its body round and hitting back heavily. Using elbow to hit is difficult to learn， but it can pull out the anchor and break the rope， even the God cannot defend them’. If some one attacks you from the back， the best way of protect yourself is using the Hitting Back with the Elbow. But when using it， you must keep your balance well.
