枪的构造特点决定了其自身的运动规律。其基本方法主要以拦、拿、扎为主，配合劈、崩、挑、点、绞、抡、舞花等枪法以及戳、横击、挑等把法。一般技法要求有以下三点。

Spear's structural features determines its own.The basic methods are lan, taking and prick, with split, collapse, pick, point, twist, whirl, movement rules and poke, sideswipe, pick etc..General techniques requires the following three points.

（一）持枪四平，三尖相照 The head, shoulder, feet and spear is highly consistent; gunpoint, nose and toes keep in a straight direction

“持枪之势，贵为四平”。持枪四平是指前手持枪身中段，后手握把根靠腰，下蹲成马步或半马步，要求做到头顶平、肩平、足平、枪平的技法要领。三尖相照是指持枪时要强调中照枪尖、上照鼻尖、下照前脚尖，三尖要保持在一条直线方向上。持枪四平，三尖相照，是持枪特有的基本姿势和技法要领，形成了一个立身中正、脚下稳固、人枪合一、灵活应变的整体姿势，有利于攻也有利于守，此姿势又称“中平枪”。

“The most important of spear technique advantages is to make the top of the head, shoulders, feet and spear highly consistent”,There are four places when a spear is a handheld Barrel height refers to the former middle, after holding the roots by the waist, squat into a horse or semi-stances, required to achieve the head level, shoulder level, foot flat, spears flat techniques essentials.Three spears pointed to shine is when the shine Spearpoint to emphasize, on the photo nose, according to the former under the toes, three tips to keep in a straight direction.The head, shoulders, feet and spear highly consistent; gunpoint, nose and toes to keep in a straight direction, is armed basic posture and techniques specific to the essentials, The formation of a gun in front of you, at the foot stable, and spear reach consensus, the overall posture of flexibility, help attack but also conducive to defend, this position also known as “Zhongping Spear”.

（二）持枪稳活，前管后锁 Holding the spear,steady and flexible manage front and lock up rear

持枪稳活，稳多指后手持枪要稳住，牢握如锁；活多指前手要灵如管。持枪不稳容易脱把，不活则出枪变化不快。前管后锁是指在枪术运动过程中，两手控制枪身的基本手法，握于枪身中段的前手要像管一样握住枪杆，既能套住枪身又不使脱手，让枪杆在手中自由出入滑动，成为枪的运动支点，控制枪的运动方向，随时能自如地调节握把的松紧度和控制枪的发力；后手要像锁一样牢握枪把，推动枪身运动，表现出各种不同的枪法。

Gripping the spear steady means the rear head holching the spear stabilive,just likes the lock;gripping the spear flexible means the front hand should be flexible. Unsteady holding the spear is easy to drop, not flexible then make the spear changes displeasure.managing front and locking up rear, refers to during exercise, the basic techniques of controling the spear,the front hand should grip the spear as apposite as possible which will not drop and use flexible, it can control the movement direction of the spear, can freely adjust the tightness of the grip force and control of the spear; rear hand should grip the spear as tight as possible,just like the lock, push spear's movement, then showing a variety of marksmanship.

（三）枪扎一线，圈不过斗 Spear's prick always in a straight line circle should not exceed a pipeful

“枪之利在尖，枪术以扎为主”。枪扎一条线，是判定扎枪技术质量好坏的重要标准。在扎枪时须沿枪身纵抽用力，使枪身直线扎出，力达枪尖，发出寸劲，达到平直而快准的要求，不但扎得疾而且要收得快。拦拿转圈乃是枪术最主要的防守技法。圈不过斗是指在做拦、拿、转圈枪法时要严格以直径不过一斗的宽度（即一个身体的宽度，约30厘米）为限，这是为了保证防守的严密性，不致因拦拿圈转过宽而使对方避开枪尖近身作战，失去长兵优势，转动不灵，以致受制于人。

“Spear's aclvantage is sharp,the main attacking method is prick”.Spear's prick always in a straight line will determine the technical quality of the thrust spear, make the thrust straight, force reaching spearpoint, reaching requirementsof straight and fast and accurate, not only prick quickly but also quickly.Hindering, taking, circling are the main defense of spear techniques.“Circle not exceed a pipeful”means when do hinding,taking and circhly,the diameter should not exceed a pipeful (that is, a body width of about 30 centimeters). This is ensure that the tight defense, opponents in mere combat which will lost long weapon advantage, thus will be controlled by others.
