tarlock (i cant remember which brother it was) also seemed shocked when Korra used a more traditional stance compared to the fast movements they seem to develop in her time. i think she used a solid stance when moving a wall behind him. it seems like the more mixed style in korras time is faster with less effective bending (by that i mean throwing smaller disks of earth as compared to lifting boulders that require a better stance), over the more traditional style of bending. i think bolin specifies that if korra keeps good solid stances (at least for pro bending) then she will be a sitting turtle duck, and to instead adopt a lighter footwork and getting solid only at the strikes.

To summarize: Earth: Southern Shaolin Water: Tai Chi Wind: Xingyi/Bagua (which are sometimes indeed practiced together in real life) Fire: Northern Shaolin
How about a video on the martial art styles used by non-benders, like the Kyoshi Warriors and more on Ty Lee's chi blocking, and Mai's use of thrown weapons.
The Kyoshi warriors seem to use something akin to Aikido. The Chi blockers is not a style but a technique that many styles use which involves striking acupuncture points. The thrown weapons is basically like any assassination practices in east Asia.
Great idea! All groups & individuals and their weapons & methods and/or arts. Ty Lee seemed to use what is known as Phoenix-Eye Fist(s) delivered to specific points. The Kyoshi Warriors seemed to use methods from several Martial Arts. Such as Aikido, Aikijujitsu, Shuai Jhiao, Chin Na, Jiu-jitsu,....
Airbending reminds me a lot of not just baguazhang, but also of Shaolin crane style. Air Nomads definitely derive their look from Shaolin monks, with all the orange robes and bald heads and acrobatics.
Hey all the bending came from Chinese martial arts! Never practiced any but… kinda proud somehow🥺 Whoever designed those actually put in some immense efforts! Mad respect for the Avatar crew❤️
one thing ive always wanted to see was a water bender using zuì quán (drunken boxing), it might be both entertaining to watch and possibly be effective with use of water (or beer depending)
15:32 Azula is a different breed apart from toph I love her soooo much ahhhhhhhh but only when she is in the right state of mind, like she is so physically strong and intelligent
Nunchaku were often made of woven cords more so than chains. So I could see a wood bender making one purely out of wood. The chain would only be needed if blocking steel weapons.
So fire nation style is about quick movements and semi light on the feet and about small but strong attacks and quick jabs and heavy kicks I like the firenation styles
I wish this video would’ve shown a bit of real life depictions/examples of what the original fighting techniques looked like, still this is a pretty good factual video!!

Gonna be honest here it may take you several decades to learn all these styles. There’s a lot of methodology in each one that can’t really be summed up by this video
I am coming here to find out where did zuko's "breakdancing" form coming from. This isn't answering but it's cooler. They do the research and make all the corelating like how tai chi in waterbender also using to heal (in real life) so that waterbenders can do healing, how in firebender they do offense over defense and thats the opposite case with airbender and thats why it was the hardest for aang to master it. Everything just so detailed and well written. I remember first time watching ATLA maybe 9 years ago? not sure. And I still love it so much. I'd surely recommend this show to my children LOL (If I have one)
Shaolin Kung fu has breakdancing looking type styles such as "di tan quan" which is called ground form. Shaolin Kung Fu also has "Hook Leg" style which has a lot of legs sweeps, windmills, aerials, flares, etc.
I’d love to see someone create a top 10 list of the best weapon masters in Avatar. Benders are no joke, but some of the most skilled warriors in Avatar can outsmart and outmaneuver benders in the right circumstances. Team Azula: Azula has her incredibly talented fire bending and ability to create and redirect lightening. But the other two are an assassin prodigy that is a master of knives and close combat martial arts, and the other is a fluid acrobat with the ability to temporarily prevent a bender from bending by blocking their chi and stiffing an opponents mortar functions in their muscles.
I would love to see you do a version of this telling me inspirations for theme inspirations for the specialized non bending combat styles we see throughout the shows
Water doesn’t nourish the roots. It is absorbs by the roots, nourishes the tree and is expelled in the atmosphere. Earth doesn’t allow growth. Growth comes mostly from photosynthesis, partially from minerals from the ground. The fire of the sun doesn’t feed the tree. The light from the sun is one component of photosynthesis which is the process of making food. Air doesn’t clean the carbon dioxide. Air which is oxygen is produced from carbon dioxide. You really couldn’t of screwed that up even worst.
The horse stance is uses i many martial arts like karate(my prime martial art) and jujitsu , Wing Chun .I know this true sharing techniques through different martial arts .
Here is one my theory: What if Avatars before Korra are not destroyed but in fog of lost souls? As Ravva was destroyed all past Avatars suddenly found themselves in the fog unable to get out.
My theory is also like this. What if the Avatars spirits were destroyed but we're revived once again when Korra and Raava fused? Another theory I have is an avatar that have foreseen this. Like an Avatar prodigy. Surely there's a far more powerful Avatar than the ones we know of

No, unfortunately. For the most part they abandon Easter styles to favor MMA, Kickboxing, Parkour, and Tricking. Sifu Kisu played a much smaller role in Legend of Korra.
Kung fu is about, getting in physical contact and binding then you will set a takedown. In short you limit the capabilities of your opponent. In the tales of ba sing se episode you can see iroh using a good example of that against his opponent. It is not a perfect example because the oponent has a knife and does not react, but thats pretty much the spirit of kung fu.
Kung fu isn’t a thing. Just a westernized bastardization. There are many styles of martial arts that are very distinct. Kung fu or gong fu refers to any skill which is developed over time, not just martial arts.
@@HakuYuki001 Thank you verry much for that Term "bastardisation" XD.

Theres no record for South Pole style other than Hama's blood bending which takes from Puppetry. The difference between Northern and Swamp is that swamp style works with stagnate water, so instead of focusing on the flux and flow of moving water, they use larger - usually circular - motions to generate power. You can see the martial application when Katara fights the swamp bender. Notice she takes deeper stances, wider steps, and using more straight line tactics more like Shaolin.
I do wing chun and suntukan (Filipino unarmed fighting style that is based in a lot of Southern Kung Fu & homegrown necessity) Chen family tai chi would be nice just because when I get very old my fists won’t be doing what they do now.
The word Qin Na literally translates to Grab & Hold, it's more of a subset of many martial arts. The focus is to exploit weak points of the human anatomy in order to 1)manipulate and 2)disable your opponent, temporarily or permanently. Judo focuses a lot on the grab & throw part, Aikido on the joint lock & disability, modern MMA incorporates a lot of subduing techniques from the former schools as well as others. The goal is always to gain control, and if can't, break it so that the opponent is disabled in the most efficient way possible.
Qin na or Chin na is just joint locking. Are you thinking of pressure points/dim mak? Pressure points are taken into account with chin na, but aren't the focus.
@@cbr i might need to make what i said clearer. So to rephrase the question can you do a video about how will they introduced Adamantium into the mcu. I would like to hear your opinions/theories on hiw they will do that.
No, the video is misleading. Toph is using Southern Mantis only and there is no tiger claw in this system. Palms inverted inward do have many applications but it's not related to tiger claw/ Hung Gar at all.
"While the air nomads are a peaceful nation.." yet showing clips of Korra and not the many clips of Aang or Aang's Air Nomad family. And then bringing up "Baguazhang" and showing clips of the new gen Airbenders flying around and not clips of Aang actually performing it. Who edited this video??
Firebending also is kinda based on tae kwon doe, the spinning kicks is called a hook kick, the powerful punches, they pull their elbow back like in tae kwon doe! And also I do the form, so I know a lot.
you got this a bit wrong. fire bending is hung gar (a branch of southern shaolin, made famous by Wong Fei Hong), Earth bending is wing chun (branch of southern shaolin made famous by bruce lee and yip man movies). Air bending is ONLY baguazhang, and not xingyiquan. though there is at least one branch of bagua that has roots in xingyi because it is the older style and bagua's founder only taught people that already mastered another style (one of which was a xingyi master). Water bending is taichi as you said.
Boxing can be good for Fire being a "hit fast, hit hard" combat style. This philosophy mainly embodies Fire. Wrestling is definitely Earth. Most techniques in it, if I'm not mistaken, would really focus on putting enemies to the ground. Capoeira is mainly Air IMO. The Capoeira user is often moving using their dance-like steps (similar to Baguazhang). And their kicks, while beautiful, are fast and hard-hitting.
I think earth benders could be generic avatars by doing air bending techniques with sand bending fire techniques with lava bending water techniques with mud bending and earth with you guessed it earth lol learn to bend diamonds into armor/ weapons hell bend a suit on you and fly even so yeah earth benders are generic avatars
I been knew that the fighting movements in Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra are inspired by various styles of kung fu and other Asian martial arts
The creators clearly were using Chinese Kung Fu for all the Air Benders. Makes sense since most of Chinese martial arts are based on the elements or the Chiense Virtues
All styles that are still around are modern. Using a newer one is worse anyway, there’s less spirituality involved so the reasoning behind bending wouldn’t make sense
respect to the avatar crew for not just making up random punches and kicks but actually researching martial arts.
Until TLOK came along and replaced kungfu with mma moves and random hand movements.

There's one already breaking down Adamantium vs. Beskar and Vibranium! ruclips.net/video/nSw7z_jvc0I/видео.html
@@cbr i might need to make what i said clearer. So to rephrase the question can you do a video about how will they introduced Adamantium into the mcu. I would like to hear your opinions/theories on hiw they will do that.
toph usually uses mantis style though
The power within, The power within, the power within, THE POWER WITHIN!! (Lol 😆 I wonder how many people will get this reference)
That man was the first Avatar
@@yoursteak5215 lol 😆 yes. The true master
he was the 1st avatar mr Krabs he was number 1
yes, the first avatar, Mr Krabs
my two favorite shows featured in one video yeehaw
I love that this is an Avatar video but in woodbending there are Naruto scenes. Lol
This is to show footage related to vo
@@dbzfan3154 yeah
Best show of the 20th century
Time to learn baguazhang
So diverse!😯🤩
and the style used by aang in the stick is called silabam ancient tamilan martials
Which one of these techniques of these benders do you think is the most powerful and would win against each other?
It is never about the style it's about the person
Would toph’s stance with her palms inverted inward toward her body be consider tiger claw style as well?
Depends, the point of a tiger claw is to rend flesh, it’s not a fancy thing
No, the video is misleading. Toph is using Southern Mantis only and there is no tiger claw in this system. Palms inverted inward do have many applications but it's not related to tiger claw/ Hung Gar at all.
What if conspirucy:what if the infinity stones nevere existed
what if conspiracy: you could spell
"While the air nomads are a peaceful nation.." yet showing clips of Korra and not the many clips of Aang or Aang's Air Nomad family. And then bringing up "Baguazhang" and showing clips of the new gen Airbenders flying around and not clips of Aang actually performing it.
Who edited this video??
Lol typical toxic ATLA fans.
The Shaolin style and Tai Chi king fu are very unique styles.
Kung fu
Firebending also is kinda based on tae kwon doe, the spinning kicks is called a hook kick, the powerful punches, they pull their elbow back like in tae kwon doe! And also I do the form, so I know a lot.
No.
The fight choreographer didn’t indicate that at all.
All martial arts have overlaps.
Your claim is rather superficial.
On 10:06 I just realized old Toph is actually wearing a dress?! 👗 And 135th comment.
you got this a bit wrong. fire bending is hung gar (a branch of southern shaolin, made famous by Wong Fei Hong), Earth bending is wing chun (branch of southern shaolin made famous by bruce lee and yip man movies). Air bending is ONLY baguazhang, and not xingyiquan. though there is at least one branch of bagua that has roots in xingyi because it is the older style and bagua's founder only taught people that already mastered another style (one of which was a xingyi master). Water bending is taichi as you said.
No you wrong
Earth is hung gar
Water is literally liuhebafa
Also fun fact liuhebafa is the strongest martial art that exists and the hardest
What about the style for lava benders?
Hmm
The moon spirit is La, the "pull" of water, and the ocean spirit is Tui, the "push"
Heeeej what about Azulas style? She is so perrrfect
How can you think a psychopath is perfect ? 🤨
@@PpAirO5 because i say so 😌 Azula is my fav character she is a beast, strong intelligent very skilled, just so evil i adore her
@@lorenahoney3330.. I'm complete opposite. I like characters like Aang, Tenzin and Iroh 😊
@@PpAirO5 youre a sweetheart really😚
@@lorenahoney3330.. 🥰 Thanks
Ooo wood's kinda like an In-between earth and water, like how mud is water and earth
Can you do star wars fix the last jedi
I wonder what elements boxing, wrestling, or capoira would fall under?
Boxing can be good for Fire being a "hit fast, hit hard" combat style. This philosophy mainly embodies Fire.
Wrestling is definitely Earth. Most techniques in it, if I'm not mistaken, would really focus on putting enemies to the ground.
Capoeira is mainly Air IMO. The Capoeira user is often moving using their dance-like steps (similar to Baguazhang). And their kicks, while beautiful, are fast and hard-hitting.
Just a note.
Sticky Hands is not unique to Southern Praying Mantis. Other martial arts, especially Wing Chun, use it.
In the Legend of Korra they also used some boxing why didn't you mention that?
Do the creators of the netflix live action even understand this?
Would love to be a water bender
"q"s in chinese are usually pronounced with a "ch"
I think earth benders could be generic avatars by doing air bending techniques with sand bending fire techniques with lava bending water techniques with mud bending and earth with you guessed it earth lol learn to bend diamonds into armor/ weapons hell bend a suit on you and fly even so yeah earth benders are generic avatars
Make a video focusing on martial arts in the Naruto verse
It amazing the amount of martial arts in this movie!
Tv show.
I been knew that the fighting movements in Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra are inspired by various styles of kung fu and other Asian martial arts
good for you. nobody asked
@@AsashinDaka Neither any one did for your response.
The creators clearly were using Chinese Kung Fu for all the Air Benders. Makes sense since most of Chinese martial arts are based on the elements or the Chiense Virtues
Something netflix avatar the last air bender is missing
Fire nation is definitely the most flashy
If I could have one element to control it would be air
how much wood would a woodbender bend if a woodbender could bend wood?
man aang combat skill would be really awesome if he tried bein offenceive
1.21Airbenders are evasive not defensive. just saying.
What about sokka bending.
Is it juat me,or does this dude sound like Zaheer from Legend of Korra:Book 3😅
They need to make a bending style or change a bending style to use more modern fighting styles like muay thai, BJJ or MMA
All styles that are still around are modern. Using a newer one is worse anyway, there’s less spirituality involved so the reasoning behind bending wouldn’t make sense
You barely showed bumi!!! The second best earth bender!
I never saw a wood bender in ATLA or ALOK 🤔
this specific technique on ATLA was missing in Korra making it a little dull
