Chuí (Chinese weapon)

'hammer/mace') is a Chinese melee weapon that consists of a large, solid metal sphere on the end of a medium-long handle.

As a result, this weapon is not often practiced by kung fu enthusiasts, and newly made replicas may be hollow.

One variation of chuí is liúxīngchuí, which is a smaller pair of chuí linked together by a long rope, used as a missile weapon that can be retrieved.

The Japanese manga and anime series Ranma ½ depicts Shampoo bearing a pair of chuí (misidentified as bonbori).
