taught: best described as a hybrid between a staff, which can
strike and block with both ends as well as the middle, and a
sword, which can attack with sharpened edges or the point. This
rare weapon, predominantly seen in Mantis styles, has two sword
blades and two crescent moon hand guards. In the poses below a
spin has just been completed so one hand is still outside the
guard. Recommendations:

(below left; also known as the double hands pull knife)
is 56 inches from tip to tip and very similar. © 2013
