This is an instant classic. Season 2 has finally arrived. One of the coolest things about this series is that each of the bending styles is based an a different style of Kung Fu. And of course, they had to include Tai Chi. That's Water Bending. Air Bending is a related internal/Taoist style called Baguazhang (8 Trigram Palm). Earth Bending is a southern Shaolin style called Hung Gar. It is one of the "5 Animal Styles" or "5 Family Fists" and is associated with the Tiger. Fire Bending is based on Northern Shaolin but is a little less of a specific style. There are also other styles used by specific characters. Is anyone a fan of the show?
