How Violence & injury shows up in Avatar: The Last Airbender Ep 42:

  • The powerful kicks, the punches, the low stances, um, the nearly-acrobatic movements...
  • To demonstrate Kisu's point, after she steps aside to avoid Xin Fu's earthen projectile, Toph quickly punches the air while aiming at the ground, the power of her off-screen earthbending sending Xin Fu flying out…
  • We use a sub-variation of the Yang-style tai chi, um, which is the Gu-style. The punch in tai chi is-is-is trained slightly different...
  • than the punch in Northern Shaolin.
  • It's just not about kicking or punching somebody, it's about expressing, and-and-and-and building the body's energy, and raising the spirit.
