I was just wondering how many forms there are for this weapon.
Is there anyone here who has experience with it?
Do u have any tips on how to use them? Certain movements that are hard to do?
Why is it shaped so strange? Is there a story behind the weapon? Is it old?
So in other words, just tell me everything you know about it
Thank you 
I’m gonna be terribly anoying and keep this ttt until anyone answers. Take that *****es
sorry mate, dunno anything about Bagua

Well the double deer horn daggers are a cool weapon. I saw a young man do an eigth, or tenth of the form at nationals in San Diego. I guess it is based on the animals of bagua, and each animal has a section of the form. This guy did the eagle section, it was a really nice form. As far as other info, i haven’t the slightest.
The Deer Hook Swords (or mandarin duck axes) were designed to trap blades and disarm either by stripping the blade or cutting opponents. As I understand it they were principally an indoor weapon (confined spaces, etc) and they came in a lot of different sizes. There are some good websites with pictures of the Axes, but very little good content on the How’s and Why’s of them.
Personally I prefer paired daggers, but I like to do my regular palm changes with the Deer Hooks Swords. I think weapon training goes a long way toward being “present” in your form.
