Any help would be much appreciated!

My guess would be that it's a type of Kwan Dao.
Just a quick search gave this link to a brief description that seems to match fairly well to your video.

Thanks, but the weapon in the video has different blades on each end. It looks too heavy for combat, so I'm wondering if something else is going on... ...like some kind of traditional exercise for an individual? Dunno... :squigglemouth:

Legend has it that Genreral Kwans halberd was said to weigh 82 catties (about 49.5 kg or 109 lbs).
this could be a homage to his legendary prowess it's quite a common routine in Chinese acrobat shows.
