遠用手
近用肘
到用肩
"When you are far, use the hand.
When close, use the elbow.
When you have arrived, use the shoulder."*
快用手
穩用肘
狠用肩
"When you require speed, use the hands.
When you require stability, use the elbows.**
When you require viciousness, use the shoulders."

Translator's notes:
*This can mean:
1. When you are at point-blank range with the opponent's torso, use your shoulder to strike him.
Or,
2. When the opponent's hand reaches your torso, you can remove/trap the threat with your shoulder, then lash back out with your hand(s).
** Stability is not just a defensive characteristic of one's roots & structure, but an offensive characteristic as well. Proper use of the elbow empowers the entire forearm, from the elbow itself to the tips of the fingers; this allows you to exert "hidden force" to control & weigh down upon the opponent.
