We were told that:
>Airbending is Ba Gua
>Waterbending is Tai Chi
>Earthbending is Hung Gar
>Firebending is Northern Shaolin

Which leave me confused. "Northern Shaolin" is a very generic term. That is a place, not a style. So, is Firebending Long Fist, or what?

I meant, was it some other style originated from the N. Shaolin temple, or Long Fist in particular, one of those styles? Also, don't believe everything Wikipedia says.

I just want to know what Kisu had in mind. Did anyone ask him?

>At its most specific, Northern Shaolin refers to a style called Northern Shaolin Boxing School (Chinese: 北少林拳門; Cantonese Yale: Bak-siu-làhm Kyun-mun [1]), disseminated by Gu Yu-jeung (1894–1952; also known as Ku Yu-cheung or, in Pinyin, Gu Ruzhang).

he meant this. it's usually shortened to northern shaolin. should be pretty obvious
