Martial Arts lessons?

I just came across this wonderfully interesting human television series called "Avatar: the Last Airbender". I really don't understand this whole 'tee-vee' thing much at all. most of it seems horribly confusing, but I must admit I am quite enjoying this! :D The artwork is superb, and I am enamored with the various martial-arts styles displayed. :)
I would love to try to learn some of these Earthen martial-arts styles. Are there any Autobots out there who could possibly be a teacher? If not, I suppose it'd have to be self-taught lessons. I trust there are resources out there to learn from. It won't be as effective, but I somehow doubt I'd fit in a human's dojo. ^_^;
Is anyone else interested in taking lessons with me? :)
And also, does anyone know when the next season will start? ^_^;

Date: 2007-03-09 06:20 pm (UTC)... I didn't know at first what you meant by 'Kataang' or 'Zutara'... so I used that human thing called "Google", and, well... c.c; I can't really say. ^_^; Katara and Aang are definately cute. I don't know where Zutara came from, but... as much as I don't really see it happening, I must admit I can see the appeal of it. ^_^; So I'm neutral on the subject.
I DID find this clip, however... which is just so very amusing. X3 I hope this 'imbedded' clip thing works. o.o;

And I agree, I don't see the Katara and Zuko thing. I mean, Katara is sooo good and sweet and loves Aang, right? Zuko is just all wrong for her.
Still can't get over the video clip. *Checks out YouTube.*

I'm not sure when the next season starts either, but from what little I've seen, I definitely like Iroh.

And speaking for myself, I would also want to be sure it would serve a practical aspect in other aspects of life as well. Not all martial arts are created equal. Sunstreaker would be a good one to ask concerning which martial arts would be useful and which would not.

Too bad you're Track's girl though... I might've considered teaching you what I know. ;p
(( Heh... I've heard of that show. Have yet to see it. ^^ ))

'Cept I just know Crystallocution and Diffision. You would have to go back to Cybertron to find an elder who's trained in the upper levels of Circuit-su if you want to be more like those Avatar humans though.
