Elemental Bending is a fictional martial art featured in the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel, The Legend of Korra. It allows skilled practitioners, known as Benders, to manipulate the four classical elements: Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. Each element has its own unique techniques and styles, influenced by various cultures and philosophies. Benders are often categorized by their elemental affinity, which determines their primary bending abilities. For example, Waterbenders can control water in its various forms, while Firebenders can create and direct flames. Mastery of bending requires years of training, discipline, and a deep connection to the element being manipulated.
