Hello! I've come here seeking answers to some questions, even though I have, unfortunately, no experience in chinese martial arts. I hope you don't mind!

I wish to ask about the wind and fire wheels. From what I've gathered they seem to be used in bagua and taichi? I've also understood that a wheel with only two blades extending from the handle is a bagua version, and one with three "flames" is a taichi version. Am I completely mistaken? Also what is the version with multiple small blades extending all around the ring? Is everything I think I know about these wrong?

Thank you for allowing me to post on this lovely forum of yours!
