Shuang Chui - Double Mace
Description
The bar-maces are the heaviest of all single-hand TaiJiQuan weapons. They were originally cavalry weapons created to smash armor and crush helmets using the velocity of a galloping horse. A real mace weighs over five pounds, and truly forces the wielder to use silk reeling energy to power a mace in each hand. Due to its slower reaction speed, as one mace attacks, the other mace defends and follows up with its own attack as the first mace coils back to defend.
