    What style of martial arts does Toph do: I know earth bending is Hung Gar style of Kung Fu, but Toph's style looks very diffrent.

    Perhaps it's her own developed style, as a result of her blindness; taking her energies, by flinging her arms out,holding her index and thumbs together while three fingers are out? A "sub style" of Hung Gar?

    Perhaps it's the Crane style for soft power, that isn't the Tiger style for Hard power?

    I'm not sure, but maybe... ^^;

    I know the creators brought in an additional martial arts consultant to develop her style, so maybe it's a hybrid.?? Someone else on the forum here (don't remember who, sorry) said it looked like-- hope I'm not messing this up--- Drunken Monkey style, I think.?? I'm still new to Kung Fu so I'm not up on all the styles as much as I'd like to be.

    A really random question just popped into my head while i was watching The Water Bending Master how did Zuko survive when his ship was blown up??? I mean we get about ten shots that shows the ship is absolutely blown to smitherens but somehow Zuko gets away with only a few scratches (not that i would want him to die or anything) it just puzzels me how he survived?

    I s'pose he bent whatever fire he could handle and swam when he could. We saw how strong a swimmer he is in Siege of the North. As a firebender, he's mediocre (did I e-say that, or just think it?), but he has lots of other skills to rely on (which is pro'ly why his firebending leaves much to be desired).

    he learned airbending as a kid (you know, 100 years ago). Plus, since he's the Avatar he's naturally better at it.

    Good point. It's also possible that the sheer force of the blast blew him clear of the wreakage.

    Yea, something like that - although I heard it was called "Drunken Boxing." I may have misheard, though - well, it's definitly drunken somthing.

    I went through that scene in slo-mo once as I was editing a music vid.?? If you watch it in real slow speed, you can see that he brings his hands up and around and blocks??the fire coming right at him just??as the blast knocks him backwards.?? And we know of his incredible swimming skills from The Siege.

    Now that I think of it, I guess Azula can swim too.?? Iroh knocked her overboard and yet she's still with us.?? It seems like all the non-royal firebenders just sink!

    out of all the people aang has fought, who's his Arch-Enemy. My guess is Fire lord Ozai, he's the one Aang's suppose to defeat.??
