（二）动作迅猛，快速有力 Action fast and vigorous
少林拳要求刚健有力、迅速激烈，即所谓“起手连珠炮，拳打一气连”；“使势千着，以快为先”。在套路演练过程中，要求几个或十几个动作连贯快速，一气呵成。少林拳虽以刚为主，但同时也要求刚柔相济。
Shaolin boxing demands that the movement should be vigorous and energetic, swift and sharp, that is the so-called“Start with continuous shell, punched out without interruption”;“Thousands of skills and tricks with the focus on speed”.In the course of skill practice exercise, it requires that several or a dozen motions are rapid and coherent without a break.Though Shaolin boxing emphasizes hardness, it also requires softness.
