I was told by my friend in the know that it will feature 4 tribes of warriors all with magical skills based on real Kung Fu ie. Tai Chi, Bagua, Hung Gar and North Shaolin and that they hired a real Sifu to choreograph the movements. Does anyone know who the Sifu is? Is he legit or is it gonna be another hyped up bullcrap number? The stances look cool on the Nick website! I can’t wait ‘cause I luv good anime.

"magical skills" + "nickolodean" = "hyped up bullcrap number"

Yea...but I've been thinking.

Why is it called Avatar?! :confused:

I am not sure the name I got on to this thing through the funniest series of unrelated events and ended up studying with the guy who is consulting on the kungfu movement. As a matter of fact I'd have to give thanks to the members of this forum for putting me in touch with my new teacher. Funny funny world we live in. The Avatar as I understand it is the last member of a nearly extinct tribe of martial magicians. The Avatar brings balance to the four element tribes by masterfully weilding the greatests legedary powers of all four schools. I have seen the pilot and pencil test courtesy of Sifu and it looks great and really fun. Anything I say won't do it justice but it seems they plan to build the kung fu elements to a peak throughout the series. Sifu has a lot of drive and imagination and is giving them heart and soul so I really can not wait!
