A matched set of two wind-and-fire wheels

Wind-and-fire wheels (

taijiquan.[1] Visually, they are similar to chakrams
, although unlike chakrams they are not throwing weapons.

Each wheel is a flat metal ring approximately 38 cm (15 in) in diameter. One quarter-segment has a padded grip with a

cross-guard; the other three segments have protruding flame-styled blades. With one wheel in each hand, the practitioner can slash, stab, parry, or disarm an opponent.[2]

In the mythological story

Fengshen Yanyi, the Immortal Taiyi gave Nezha a wind-wheel and a fire-wheel. These were stood on whilst chanting incantations, to serve as a magic vehicle.[3]
