DOUBLE WEAPONS

Using twin weapons at the same time is also a major feature of Chinese martial arts.

Found in both traditional arts and modern Wushu, practitioners wield a weapon in

each hand, allowing for greatly increased defensive and offensive capabilities.

WIND AND FIRE WHEELS

Each wheel takes the form of a flat metal ring with sharp metal projections in the design of flames at the front and a handle for gripping at the back. Wind and Fire Wheels are used in Tai Chi as close range weapons. By holding a wheel in each hand a practitioner can simultaneously block or parry and attack. Exponents claim that working with the wind and fire wheels builds chi, stamina and strength.

DEER HORNS

The Deer Horn knifes are made up of two short crescent blades crossing one another.

Holding one in each hand a practitioner therefore has four blades with which to attack and

defend at the same time. They were traditionally used against longer weapons because of

their speed and accessibility in confrontations. 

 

BAGUA DEER HORNS

 

Starting from the two poles: Yang (Male) and Ying (Female), and grouping

them in groups of three lines, you obtain 8 combinations, the Bagua.

The Trigrams represent the Nature Forces, the Family Composition,

The Seasons, The Ordering of the State, and from them,

the Ancient Chinese drew the forecasts and had answers to their questions.
