1 of the things that i really admire about the show is how much attention to detail is paid. like we all know that bryan & mike reference actual gong fu moves all the time when animating fight scenes, & they themselves even learn gong fu from sifu kisu. what i wanna know is, has avatar inspired you to take up a martial art? karate, taekwondo, muay thai, gong fu, kickboxing, anything!
my husband & i practice american style kickboxing, & he's a 2nd degree black belt in shotokan karate. because of avatar, he now wants to find a school that teaches hung gar & shaolin style fighting. i wouldn't mind learning hung gar & tai chi.

If I learned how to defend myself it will only make me want to defend myself from being a nice person.

Avatar didnt inpire me to take up martial arts. I took up Aikido in 2004 before Avatar was out. Right now im a 1st degree black belt in it. I tested Three weeks ago(while recovering from the flu). |

Ouch. I've heard Aikido is really tough. My dad used to take it long ago. He can still do some seriously freaky stuff even though he never really advanced in belt level. I used to take Tae Kwon Do, but the school I was at became very commercial. We stopped sparring and going to tournaments. You had to pay a ton to be in weapons class and stuff. I wound up not going to class anymore. But before that, I was a second degree black belt. |

I practised Jiu Jitsu and Judo but i'm short on time at the moment. I've thought about Aikido to since a friend started practising it but i found out that it was nothing for me. I really missed the fighting there  I just love to test my skills in a fight but i get usualy beaten because my opponets train a lot more then me |

It was the opposite for me. The martial arts was what attracted me to the show. I do Choy Lay Fut kung fu and I like anime so I instantly fell in love. Everyone at my kwoon loves it too. ^.^
