After all our recent breakdowns of the bending techniques, one thing that's notable is that all the four bending disciplines follow more or less consistent styles, all rooted in real-world martial arts. Earthbending is based on the Hung Gar style of Kung Fu, firebending on Northern Shaolin style of the same, waterbending is based on Tai Chi, and airbending on Baguazhang. This gives the moves all of the benders do a consistent aesthetic that matches the nature of their element, but they all have outliers, and these are worth going into more.

For Toph it makes sense that she has her wrists bent in since she was not trained by human Earth Benders, but had been taught by the badgermoles, who dig by curling their paws, and thus their unretractable claws, towards themselves as they dig.

Also I noticed she tends to direct most of her bending towards the ground, even more so than other Earthbenders who tend to focus straight ahead at their opponents. Makes sense because she can't actually see her opponent in front of her and has to rely on the ground to sense where they are.

That's true. Seeing a firebender generate fire from anywhere but their body is very strange. This makes Jeong Jeong not only unpredictable for his opponents, but makes his attacks so devastating when unleashed that he's nearly unstoppable when he gets going. Plus, he's so skilled, his movements have no telegraph; He doesn't act like a firebender. He'll drop into a traditional horse stance like an earthbender, then rotate and pump his arms like a waterbender, and then WOOSH! A wall of fire about twenty feet high rushes away, crossing water, without harming the forest. He's got insane control of his inner fire.

I think Zaheer studied actual airbending, not just their culture. The Red Lotus' plan was to train their own indoctrinated, fully realized Avatar. That's why they attempted to kidnap Korra as a child. I think Zaheer was supposed to be the next best thing to an actual airbender to be her master in that element. That's why he was so good at it pretty much immediately.

Jokes aside, with that fact, airbender can bend toxic gas. Which is crazy... Assassination can happen so stealthy with that way.. Edit: and it's a serious deal because their world in the next avatar story obviously gonna be at least the world war era. Back in korra series, it was in the industrial revolution era. The first biplanes and airships era. And in the more modern era, they gonna use more fuel. That means more toxic gas. Some evil airbender can utilize those gas to kill people stealthily that even doctors wont know the reason. Unlike the suffocation that obviously diagnostic-able

I had this idea for a fire bender with a lack of both aggression and motivation, constantly pushing through his own hedonic treadmill. As a result, he can't generate their own flames, leading to him constantly carrying around an oil lantern for self defense. Of course, he doesn't want to use up all his fuel in drawn out fights, and he generally doesn't feel comfortable directly manipulating fire if not to extinguish it. So his first inclination when using fire in a fight is to manipulate the smoke instead. *That* is something he's able to manipulate freely, like an air bender. Biggest caveat being that he needs a source of fire to generate more smoke, similarly to how fire benders can make flames grow without directly shooting their own fire into the flames.

In The Final Agni Kai, Zuko's fighting form uses aspects of the four main Elemental styles; brought about by his time with Team Avatar and inspired by Iroh's lesson. The Neutral Jin/ solid stance from Toph's earthbending, dancing dragon (fire), breakdance attack (air), and of course lightning redirection (water)

I know two years late, but also when zuko fights aang on the beach towards the end of Book 3, he also uses some earthbending styles to create walls of protective fires as opposed to what he did on the pirate ship where he surrounded himself with fire. I also noticed zuko uses much more free flowing/water and air movements in his bending in Book 3 probably drawing from his experiences fighting aang and Katara when Iroh began to open zuko up to how different styles can be used to benefit one's bending. Early seasons, zuko was far more obsessive over learning advanced sets but as the show went on, this aspect was quickly dropped in favor of him now learning more about other bending styles and also show casing his proficiency with non bending arts. I actually think one missed part of the show was sokka and zuko sword fighting or training together. That would have been a really good scene

Well that may be entirely possible given that iroh is the person. Who is feared within the fire nation and many saying that he could most likely rival or even beat ozai and fire lord azula due to the fact that its only a few fire benders. Who were there at the time of the dragons that helped the other avatar learn firebending spiritaully and the fact hes one of the few fire benders. Who were ever unfortunate to see the two legendary dragons that helped the other avatar truly makes him a person who cant be fully trusted although. Iroh unlike traditional fire benders is able to bend fire to his will as if it were water and take an almost lava like state for a short period of time. That and he uses it very similar to air bending based on aangs moves truly say alot for his mastery. He could probably master almost all elements due to how similar his bending is to fire and water earth bending might need adjustment. But regardless it wont be beyond doubt he could this man can make his body both hot as steel for hibernation and proper body regulation to avoid hibernation during the winter. Also be able to use fire in a non aggressive spiritual way to preserve himself by making his body a bit colder or warmer so most injuries aren't fatal or make him die from bleeding. It won't be a surprise given almost no fire bender has such insane levels of fire control down to the very spiritual aspects. Which only a rare few like fire lord azula and the avatar before aang was ever capable of so yeah.

Very few people, apart from the White Lotus, Zhao, and Ozai, among others, were not part of that age group. Which made TLA feel like a coming of age story, which was cool. But LOK, we had Korra’s Generation, Tenzin’s Generation, and even a bit of Aang’s Generation all working together and fighting alongside and against one another. It was cool to see different generations of Heroes and Villains running around and fighting eachother.

Being called "Dragon" is an honorary title given to members of the Fire Nation during the hundred year war who were able to defeat a dragon. The idea being to prove their prowess as a fire Bender by besting the original masters of the art. Iroh was know as the Dragon of the West because the Fire Nation believed he killed the last Dragon. He didn't kill either of the last dragons, but learned from them and the Sun Warriors. When he returned he kept their existence a secret to protect them and the last living dragons from further attacks.

I think in the series, until harmonic convergence, airbending was the strongest form of bending because most benders alive had never fought an airbender and didn't understand the bending style. If this wasn't the case and the air nomads had survived the fire nation attack, I don't think Aang would've been able to end the war or Korra to beat Amon with airbending. I'm not saying that airbending itself is weak, it's not, but the fact that it became rare gave airbenders a vital edge in combat.

Air bending seems so pretty and peaceful because of the air nomads and how we saw Aang use it for silly entertainment when he wasn’t fighting, but it’s probably the most powerful bending out there.

And I love how how lavabenders fight. When Bolin discovers that he can lava bend his (and Ghazan) moves isn’t like a regular earthbender it becomes a type of hybrid bending between water and earth bc lava is a mix a solid mass and liquid.

Also, lightning bending was only a royal thing *during the 100 year war.* after, i assume zuko/iroh taught how to efficiently lightning bend. As an example as to why it takes no time to lightning bend in korra, but in atla it takes like 5 seconds, imagine a musket and a modern handgun. The musket takes a while to load and pack the powder into, but now it’s much more efficient and fast, with just as much, if not more, power.

Jeong Jeong is actually using waterbender movements. Pretty fitting, since he wishes to be one himself. You can see it when he summons the fire wall. He is also the only known bender who can create fire from the ground, not just his limbs or mouth.

I'm 1 year late, but during Sozin's comet, before Iroh destroyed the wall of Ba Sing Se, he produced fire on the ground around them by breathing. He only used his arms to concentrate the fire at a point and direct it to the wall. It's not the same as Jeong Jeong's instant fire walls, but I think Iroh can also use fire bending in a different style influenced by other bendings.

This is pretty interesting. Personally, I hated the fact that in TLOK bending seemed sooooooo weak. Earthbending was reduced to hurling tiny rocks at ppl , firebending seemed relatively weaker and waterbending wasn't huge waves of water more like small whips and whatnot. It just seemed so pathetic compared to TLA. I personally just went with the fact that in TLA it was war, war, war and that it was sink or swim. Hence, why the bending was stronger compared to all these peasants in TLOK. But what you said about taking into consideration the architecture of their surroundings is def a point to consider. So thanks :)

There’s also the fact that the benders LOK favored the speed of their attacks over the the sheer power of them. In ATLA, giant waves and huge rocks that were bended took a lot of time to generate. The only exception is probably firebending since that never really takes much time I create a huge flamethrower attack

It is Also that in TLOK many based themselves on a sports version of bending. Whereas bending in TLA was more Often used as a real combat technique. It kind of influences how you fight and how strong it is. Same with the people in the metal city (forgot the name), they did it more as An art style, which you can compare to how many tradititonal Martial arts are thought nowadays. The biggest thing TLOK missed was someone with a "hidden and secret" style, which turns out to be useless

In TLA, people learned bending because its part of their culture and was important to learn to help defend your home. In LOK, people learned bending because it could help them in their career and daily lives, and now fighting is limited to the army, which also has technology like airships and mechs to make up the main firepower.

What i love about this show is how its main theme is unity..and how every bending have their own style but in order to flourish they let their bending grow, they took inspiration and learn from other as well, learning from those outside of their world, and applying them to what they know..they may not be able to bend all four elements but they can still learn from each other and improve what was given to them Also even non benders can learn, lets not forget azulas most elite groups consists of 2 non bending girls who make use of what was given to them, sokka was good with engineering and learn from each of the nation, he also uses his intelligence and had it not been for him, they might not even win the war.

@@indigobeah yeah and just as a rule of thumb, nick is a network, networks basically have nothing to do with their shows beyond signing the paychecks and censoring parts of the show they don't "approve" of. It's always the creators, and sometimes the producers, but even they don't have to do anything if they don't actually want to. But when a network like nick picks up a show, or a streaming service like netflix picks up a movie (rather than making it in house) or a studio like a24 buys the rights to an unpublished movie, their only involvement is that they bought the product, and had nothing to do with actually creating it. Michael and Bryan, the voice actors, the writers, the producers, those are the guys you wanna thank.

Monk Gyatso is said to have used a vacuum technique to render firebender’s useless and suffocate them. However, an Airbender removing air from water is probably as impossible as it is for an earthbender to bloodbend thanks to how small there is of the respective element. However, to play the devils advocate, Hama could pull water out of air, so maybe the inverse could be true

This is an awesome video. The fact that he explained most of this thing also give an insight on what and how bending slowly but surely change similar to modernization. Ofc, it doesn't mean it changed for the better, more like for adjustment and circumstances. I like the Korra is more traditional in fighting than many people after the adjustments of modernization. And this translates further into Tenzen when he's Airbending skils prove superior to Zaher.
