- Ba Gua Zhang Weapons
- Large Ba Gua Sword
- One of the most unique weapons of the Ba Gua Zhang system. This oversize broadsword is usually just over a yard long, about four foot & 2 inches from handle to blade tip.
> - Deer Horn Knives (Cresent Moon Knives)
- A weapon unique to Ba Gua Zhang. Also called, Deer Hook knives or Zi Wu Yuan Yang Yue (Zi Wu Mandarin Duck Axe), Ri Yue Qian Kun Jian (Sun Moon Qian Kun Sword). The Deer Hook Knives was desgned to disarm an opponent. With one in each hand a Ba Gua practioner moves the knives in a continuous flowing motion, rotating and spinning around. Most often seen in use against a sword or spear.
- Ba Gua Spear
- In many baguazhang utilize two types of spear. The Double headed spear and te single head spear. Shuangtou sheqiang or Double headed spear("snake spear with two heads") is normally about 2 meters, with a spear-head on EACH end. Bagua daqiang ("bagua long spear") is normally is about 3 meters, it has one spearhead.
- Rooster knives
- This is a fascinating weapon that seems to be exclusively used by Baguazhang practitioners. They are also referred to as Elbow knives. Usually all metal in construction, with a ‘head’ which resembles a Rooster. Many knives have small claws and often the pointed end has a small reservoir which can be dipped in poison.
The knives are used in pairs and often the weapon is usually held against the forearms similar to the Japanese Tonfa. The spinning and twirling turning aspects of baguazhang in conjunction with the many cutting, tearing and stabbing features of these knives makes going up against this weapon like walking into a crazed buzzsaw.
We have found an online vendor which carries an excellent version of these intimidating weapons.
