Wind and fire wheels (Feng Huo Lun) are mêlée weapons, wielded as a pair, associated with Chinese martial arts such as Baguazhang and Tai Chi Chuan.

Each wheel is a flat metal ring approximately 15 inches in diameter. One quarter-arc has a padded grip with a cross-guard; Opposite and adjacent arcs have protuding flame-styled blades. With one wheel in each hand, the pracitioner can slash, stab, parry or disarm an opponent.

[edit] Wind and fire wheels in fiction

In the video game series Dynasty Warriors, Sun Shang Xiang fights with a pair of wind and fire wheels (often incorrectly labelled as chakrams, an Indian wheel-shaped throwing weapon.)

In the video game Kingdom Hearts II, Axel fights with a pair of wind and fire wheels though most people assume they are chakrams.
