I’m a university student who grew up (in my teen years) with ATLA and now I’m avidly watching and rewatching Legend of korra… I do have I love for Korra more than the first one, generally cause I’m a steampunk through and through. But I love watching ATLA just to related it to my training in Shaolin. Hiya, How are you?

@appalachia Welcome to the community!

How long have you been training in Shaolin martial arts?

@jessiejean Northern Shaolin is the style that firebenders use in ATLA.

@appalachia

Welcome, you will find here people from all age range, kids, tennagers, young, etc coexisting perfectly, and from different cultures and countries. So I think you will fit in the group and will make a bunch of new friends

Shaolin, wow, is not a typical martial art, like judo, karate, kung fu or tae kwondo, how is your experience with it?

See you in the forums!

@jessiejean I’m pretty sure that Shaolin is specific to fire bending, but through my training of Northern Shaolin I see a lot of similarities to all the bending in Northern Shaolin style. (aka the not widely known style.) Favourite Character I’d have to say Suki… I think it’s a cross between Toph and Suki

@arthan I find it constantly hard, it’s espcially hard if you go for so long with it miss a few months because of school and feel like you have let down those who taught you. I recently experienced this, just coming home and remebering basics, but being afriad to continue the form in case I put my foot in the wrong place. I have so much respect for my Si Fu that it extends beyond what he expects of me. And therefore when I worry about being wrong I shouldn’t. I’ve gotten back into the meditative state. But yes over Kung Fu, or Tae Kwondo I prefer Shaolin.

Thank you so much I hope to talk to you again!
