Water(shàn), a classical element, is associated with the terms 'benevolent' and 'adaptive'. In Avatar Tai Chi is use for the waterbending fighting style. Tai Chi is considered a soft style martial art. Soft style martial art just refers to the way techniques deal with the force of an attack. Waterbenders use slow movements and elegant forms that emitate the movement and feel of flowing water. Waterbendings stongest point is its's defense and ability to use the enemies strength against them. One of their weaknesses is the need for water to bend. They are also unable to bend when their hands are tied or bound together because it blocks the flow of chi in the arms, unless of course the can bend with there feet.

Earth(qiáng) as a classical element is associated with the term 'strong'. The creaters of Avatar use Hun Gar, a style of Kung Fu, for earthbending fighting style. Earthbenders use a heavily rooted stance. They use there stance, strength, and kicks or punches to pick up the earth and throw it or form the earth in any way. A weakness that earthbenders have is when not position directly on the ground they lose their ability to bend.

Fire(liè) is associated with the terms 'intense' and 'ferocious'. In Avatar firebenders use the Northern Shaolin fighting stlye. This martial arts technique is very fast and powerful leaving it with very few defensive moves. Some offensive moves can be twirling kicks and punches that generate fire in different shapes, or a more important concentrated jet or bolt shooting from the fingertips or botom of foot. Firebenders also have weaknesses. If a firebender looses their connection with the sun it either lessens there strength, or during a solar eclipse, makes them vulnerable during any fight.

Air(hé) as you would assume is more associated with 'peace' or the term 'peaceful'. Airbenders use a martial arts fighting style called Ba Gua. These martial arts are swift and very powerful. Airbenders use evasive moves that evoke the intangibility and power of wind, drawing energy from the abdomen. They are almost entirly defensive, they just do not have any finnishing moves or very fatal attacks. That doesn't mean they don't put up a good fight.
