Avatar Airbender's Airbending from Chinese Ba Gua (Jet Li)

This is mixture of clips from "Avatar - Creating the Legend" and "The One".
The One is a movie where Jet Li plays multiple characters, one plays Ba Gua.

I highly respect Jet Li. And wanted to make the Avatar fans aware of his abilities.

From the film, it cried mediocrity. The best scenes are apparently in the trailers.

won't watch the garbage.

Hope you enjoy being conned out of your money.

@Daibhidh646 The other role Jet Li plays in The One, he is doing xingyiquan. I am certified in Emei Bagua and Xingyiquan. I like how both styles compliment each other... While Bagua moves in circles, keeping your opponents on the outside, and in Hsing Yi, your going straight thru your opponents like a tank.

This is great! I love how you can see how similar the live actions of real masters of martial arts and the animations in Avatar are. It’s amazing to see how kung fu masters and martial artists use their bodies to disable opponents. In Films of Fury, the filmmakers did an incredible job giving background into the culture as well as flooding me with kung fu film knowledge. It is one movie I won’t be forgetting anytime soon, bitly .com/qOQ9US.

0:20 had to replay that 5 times before my craving for awesome was satisfied.

I saw some of the outtakes. Great to see with the tune of macarena.

Not interested enough..lol

@mad8london247 You can always download the torrent and watch for free if the film is garbage, no need to waste the money... I sometimes watch a very good film later on in the cinema as well, so everyone wins. :) Just bad films loose money, but if not enough effort is put into it why SHOULD we pay?

@sinistavoicez what is water and fire?

[mewarmor990]

@sinistavoicez No, earthbending was Hung Kuen. It's pretty obvious

[TheAppDeveloper]

Does anyone know the name of the move they use at 0:20?

[sinistavoicez]

@xxdookersxx xingyi is earth bending

@TheLostArtOfWar1 Bagua has straight-like entry techniques, but the power is then applied circularly, moving your opponent through multiple planes, making his ability to recover his balance/reorient for controlled landing more difficult. Anyone who shows you bagua SOLELY by circling around you like some deranged planet doesn't know bagua: they just dance.
