I just had a thought recently: Long Feng may possibly be a master with Neutral Jing. Why do I think this is so? Well, he seems to be taking his time with taking actions, and wants to wait for the right moment to get rid of Aang. Also, during his fight with Aang and Jet, when he strikes down Jet, he counterattacks Jet's sword throw at the very last second. Neutral Jing involves waiting for the right moment to strike, doesn't it? Well, Long Feng seems to be really good at that.

Any comments?

eeerm... yes...? so? whats ur point with this? its not like i wanna be rude against you, but its just an attack strategy, which involves a lot of focus and concentration like Bomi mastered... i dont think he's the only one who masters ''Neutral Jing'', just look at Iroh

hmm i always wondered if two neutral jings fight against each other who would give the first strike becuz they wait and listens and strike on the right moment

i guess they wait till the enemy loses his concentration for a second, or they will keep moving till he/she has a better attacking position then the enemy... Neutral Jin is based on waiting till u have the best odds of winning the fight/battle.
this is why u almost cant use 100% of the strategy when ur already fighting ur opponent... i mean, u cant do nothing right? u have to keep moving and hitting the opponent. the only thing u could do, is waiting to take risc till u got the best odds in succeeding (by defeating/killing the other).

btw, dont confuse it with Negative Jin, which is defending. Neutral Jin doesnt always mean: waiting till the other strikes first.

I'd wait for to see him Earthbend more than on two occasions.

hmmmm ur absolutely right, thx for correcting me m8

doesnt change a bit to my story though hehe...

Still, it brings up a point that Long Feng is not going to be an easy opponent for Aang and co to beat. I bet even Toph would have a hard time with him.

how do you know? u havent yet seen what he's capable of...
maybe he's a terrible earthbender... who knows?

i know what u mean, but i think ur confused between mastering an attack strategy and being a strong earthbender

Well appa kicked his ass so maybe he just got lucky

thats true... i really didnt understand that. why would he try to kick Appa on the nose (which wouldnt do lot of damage) if he could earth bend as well? really weird if u ask me...

And that's the problem with that theory. If Long Feng had been a Neutral Jing Master, he wouldn't have rushed Appa - who had the upper hand at the time.

I'd call this case closed.

i didnt see him wait for the right time to strike appa in lake laogai....

Okay, okay. Maybe I exaggerated when I said "Master". Maybe, he just knows about it, and uses it sometimes. But still, I wouldn't call him a bad earthbender. Afterall, he captured Appa in one move at the end of "Appa's Lost Days". Certainly an unskilled earthbender couldn't have done that.

...appa didnt know what to do anyways

Aang's already getting taught by Toph, and he even says she's the one who "waits and listens," and must be his earthbending master.

but Long Feng BETTER use neutral wussy jing style because did you see when he tried to use positive jing and attacked appa? he got PWNED!!!!
