The bending arts imitate different martial art forms.
Baguazhang (Bagua) = Airbending
Hung Gar = Earthbending
Southern Praying Mantis = Toph’s form of Earthbending
Tai Chi = Waterbending
Northern Shaolin = Firebending

Which one is your favorite to…

I’d probably say Baguazhang for all of them.

I like the idea of Ba Gua, constant movement in a circle seems like such an effective style and it looks awesome.

Practice: Tai Chi Because it is relaxing.

Watch: Northern Shaolin–Watching the acrobatics is amazing!

Watch in the T.v. Show (Avatar): Northern Shaolin- Firebending. I love the mix of it with fire.

Dedicate your life towards: Tai Chi because it is very relaxing, if I were younger, I’d say Northern Shaolin.

i really like tai chi. it moves slowly, smoothly and not aggressively. the movements are elegant and delicate too, and water is my favorite element

I like all of them except Hung Gar LOL. Otherwise I love:
Baguazhang (Bagua) = Airbending
Southern Praying Mantis = Toph’s form of Earthbending
Tai Chi = Waterbending
Northern Shaolin = Firebending

Practice: I actually use to practice Bagua Wushu. I’d like to try something different, so I go with Tai Chi.

Watch: Tai Chi

Watch in the T.v. Show (Avatar): Southern Praying Mantis

Dedicate your life towards: Tai Chi

Baguazhang (Bagua) would be my choice for everything! I really love the episode when fire is enrolled in the Fire Nation school and the bully picks a fight with him. Aang wins yet never touches his opponent. I think it looks wicked aweosme to.

umm I did O’mei Wushu for years under Sifu Luo Li out of Orlando Fl. a former member of the Chinese national team and friend of Kisu.

Tai chi is out of the question because it’s not a fighting style, just a way to relax

Bagua sounds cool but in practice is really a weaker style as is Hung Gar

Northern Shaolin is really the only honestly relevant style in a modern Wushu that you could learn today.

Sifu Kisu is a true kung fu historian whom brought these old styles back to us for his likings and fun, Iron palm was his Greatgrand Sifu’s invention so he put it in the show. And from his mouth he did not think anyone would catch on. Amon actually did Bagua at times using single palm change and mirroring hands in Korra, he just didn’t expect us to know all that lol

The Kung fu is Real, but the applications are a bit out of date
