Waterbending, one of the four elemental bending arts, is the hydrokinetic ability to control water in all of its various forms. This type of bending is used by the people of the Water Tribe, who are divided into the Southern, Northern, and lesser-known Foggy Swamp tribes, as well as those of the United Republic, each with their own unique bending style. Water is the element of change. The moon is the source of power in waterbending, and the original waterbenders learned to bend by observing how the moon pushed and pulled the tides. The Water Tribes are the only people who did not learn to bend from an animal, though the Moon and Ocean Spirits took the form of koi fish in the mortal world near the beginning of the Avatar world. The fighting style of waterbending is mostly fluid and graceful, acting in concert with the environment. Foggy Swamp style waterbending, however, is more rigid and straight. Waterbenders deal with the flow of energy; they let their defense become their offense, turning their opponents' own forces against them. Even when waterbenders do take an attack stance, their moves always appear to flow from one to the other.

I think it’s interesting how Waterbendings are the only form of bending that learned from spirits and not animals. While Airbending is the most spiritual bending art but not learned from spirits.
Alex Ale while the air benders are considered the most spiritual culture water itself in all cultures is spiritually inclined
Chikara Zuyoi Expect for the fire nation
Yeah water benders can easily talk and connect to spirit's and even able to control them they even have to power to correct the soul of anyone
Yeah it’s so elegant
I think all nations are the same but they might practice that thing more like spirituality
it's fitting that only waterbenders learned their bending through a spirit so only waterbenders has the ability to do spirit bending as well
now that you've said that. it make sense!
make sense!
Airbending can achieve astral projection (performed by ginora) and airbenders are seen to be the most spiritual of all nations.
@@jjit7485 yet they can't perform spirit bending.
@@vanderwallstronghold8905 lol
Watching the water turn to ice, and back to water is oddly satisfying to me.
I know
So true.. 😂
@Meta Man that's very long and also true, except i'd still rather be an earth bender 😂
Why not a single waterbending videos speak about waterbending healing. Like how it even works??
According to the what Katara said in book 2, healing is done by redirecting the flow of the chi throughout the body towards the injured part, thus healing it.
@@piaj2742 may I add that water healing comes from the practice of Reiki which started in Japan in the 20s or 30s. Reiki masters usually move their hands which is meant to allow energy to flow.
I would like history of ice bending 💙
Fire is life right, so shouldn't they be able to heal
Part Wargreymon it’s a bit diff. But in s2 of korra, a firebender was able to use her bending to diagnose korra, seeing internal damage. But she still had to lower Korra into the water for her to heal properly
I like the fact that Waterbending can be so diverse. You can Heal and you can Bloodbend... Waterbending is so underrated
1:19 What I took from both TLOK and ATLA is that the lion turtles used to give bending temporarily to people who lived on them. Once they stopped, the people who had the bending got to keep it and pass the "gene" down (whether it be active or not, like Katara and Katara’s parents) while those who didn’t get the bending are the current nonbenders (with those who didn’t have the "activated gene").
The new benders who got their power from the turtles then learned how to master from the 4 orignal benders (dragons, sky bisons, badgermoles and the moon).
I feel like this is emphasised within the fact that Wan got his firebending from a lion turtle and THEN mastered it with the dragon dance with an actual dragon.
The original benders and the lion turtles stories are not disconnected.
History of water bending exists
Sokka *breaths in* “WHAT IN THE EVER LOVING WHAT IS THIS!
Sokka: "Yeah, yeah, an ancient art unique to our culture, blah blah blah. Look, I'm just saying that if I had weird powers, I'd keep my weirdness to myself." 😂🤣😂🤣
Waterbending is the second element that I love in the Avatar universe. I love how diverse and creative it is as an element, a source of literal push and pull on the environment, it’s powerful but not too overpowered, the characters who are waterbenders are literal Swiss Army knives in combat depending on the amount of water around them presently, and how a master could manipulate the unseen water around them to be used as a weapon.
I would say Katara is my favorite Waterbender because of her style and her moves is pretty much badass
I like kya
Katara 😳
Martin D. Ramirez heyy
Orrrrrr your a simp ;)
@@idhalonDude not everyone who likes a female character is a simp
He should make a vid of the history of combustion bending
No
I don’t think there’s enough known about it too truly make a decent video. You could make a short one but it’s be a lot of speculation
Too little info about it so no
@@dardandubali7185 Wtf
You mean sparky sparky boom bending
Water bending is the most satisfying element
I'd rather be a water bender over any other
Same
I’d be a fire or water bender. Cus practicability.
I rather be an airbender
Same...
same
i prefer waterbending over all the other bending of earth elemnt
I think Metalbending (Earth) Is best, but that's my personal opinion
I prefer Earth over the others.
I wanted fire but every single test on youtube said water 😔
I prefer fire because I did tons of things on the internet and it just says fire and also fire can make lightning so I have a advantage of defeating a water bender but they are all strong in there own ways u need a lot of experience to blood bend
Well earth is super strong and wood is actually a Part of earth it’s made form earth so someone could invent woodbending
7:03
Ming Hua: _Am I a joke to you?_
Pooptato Salad but if shes chi blocked she cant do anything either way
@@shrekisthebestfranchiseand5032 Chi blocked? where on her "arms" she uses her mind to bend water
She uses her lower half to use waterbending. Is she's chi blocked in her legs, then she'd be rendered powerless.
Ming hula doesent have hands
His voice sounds like it can be in an audio book lol
Omg yes
He is literally the voice in Comixology lol😂
How about if it wasn’t even his voice but someone else.?
Waterbending to me represents a pure spirit and love itself. An adaptable spirit that can't be contained or forced into a particular shape.
In MBTI terms, I think of the NF temperament as being water like because they are soft and intuitive, not easily bound by traditions, labels or boundaries, much like water.
The last one is earth bending lol can’t wait for it!
@@MJUA-camrs didn't they already make a video about energy bending?
Greasy Cubing yes
I would such a badass surfer as a water benders.
Yes you would such a badass
Here's a plothole from the original Avatar:
The fire's nation guards bound the water benders only when they drank water, but they never did it when they wanted to pee. So Hama could have escaped by using pee bending.
Just think about it.
.....................
Nice!
Amazing thoughts, I am impressed, wondering why didn't I think of that.
Not really a plot hole. It's quite likely there was a system for that along with food too, but I really doubt any kids show would discuss such a topic.
Additionally, water is found in many foods as well.
The creator of avatar wanted to nerf water bending by giving it availability of water only just to end up making it still more op
I love how your explanations are easy to understand...keep it up ❤❤🤙🤙🤙
I love it too and I hope in the next video it will be the history of Earthbending or combustionbending
@@admart9sr TBH I can't wait too
Watching these videos even tho I already be knowing all this info >>>>>>>>>
Same
Avatar be like dragons are the first firebenders the lionturtle just handing out bending
Julian Lam People didn’t get their bending from the bending animals, they developed their fighting styles and techniques by watching them. That’s what they mean by them being the “first.”
@@Kinowolf Exactly
When I was kid I used to (sometimes still do) act like I was water bending in swimming pools...
Ik I'm not the only one🌊
Alternate title: History of the strongest bending style
Nah, mate what you do when you put water against fire? The water evaporates what you gonna do when someone sends a large boulder at you?
@@nootnoot9784 what would you do if a waterbender can bend blood without the full moon
@@nootnoot9784 and they can take away your bending
@@nootnoot9784 umm I'm no scientist but I thing fire gets put out when you put water on it... and ice has proven to be able to defend against earth
Choxolet yo and there’s erosion so you can literally cut the rock if your attack is strong enough
i’d definitely want to be a waterbender.
What about Unalaq's water bending used to appease spirits
Also what style of bending would Ming-Hua's water bending be classified as
Mind, like how amon’s dad mentally blood bended everyone in his trial. This is just an assumption tho
It's either with the mind or slight muscle movements from her shoulders, nubs and torso.
Ming-Hua's waterbending is entirely agressive, almost never using defensive stances. She uses southern style imo
One of my favorite things about foggy swamp styles plant bending is flower shurikens. In the comic The Search, we see a water bender freeze a flower as it is thrown an it acts a shuriken
They need to make a new avatar series no kap
faxxxxx
Not seen that a live action series is coming out in the next few years?
dr ga it is??????
dr ga actually this year
Some shows don't need to always be getting a new show. Just look at the disappointment that people got from korra, we should let it be before we get another ben10 or teen titans incident
@2:30 don’t forget the most powerful style of them all, sokka style. You should learn it
Water bending was always my favorite bending art😌
I’m a split between air and waterbender (ironic seeing as the rest of my family sees themselves as either earth or fire, mostly fire) so this and the history of airbending is really informative.
(P. S. Yes, I do refer to myself as the avatar on occasion.)
I think there's another style since TLOK: common Republic City style
I saw that the fighting style for waterbenders is that is more fast, straight to the point and aggressive, since there's no many water sources available (unless they manage the environment, like Tarrlok for its office), so they need to finish battles quickly or they'll lose their water source and remain defenseless
Can’t wait for earth bending
Last time I was this early is when they reached 10k subs.
The various water bending styles remind me of the variations and evolutions in different styles of taichi (which is the direct inspiration for water bending).
Also, considering that foggy swamp style is a bit rigid, am not surprised if Chen style taichi could be the basis for it
This is very interesting story than my history classes
Water is the most OVERPOWERED element but has one limit it’s source of power
Can’t you just use ur saliva
I always wondered
Pretty cool styles. I love how thought through the different styles are 😍😍 i cant wait to start covering Avatar content too. Good Job
i waited for this for sooooooo long
Such graceful explanation , love this series. Keep up the good work
I thot when the lion turtles stopped protecting human kind, they granted those human living on them water bending powers to help them venture out in the spirit wilds
Junar Madca go back and rewatch those 2 episodes abt wan and youll see at the end of it all the spirits go back to the spirit world so the wilds aren’t nearly as dangerous
Well in Sozin’s comet, katara blocked one of Azula’s lightning strikes with water so lightning isn’t really much of a weakness unless you are touching it like Ming Hua’s water arms.
she blocked it fast enough before azula managed to create a spark of it. you could see there wasn't any lightning. otherwise the water was so pure or they'd both get electrocuted.
@@philip5851 Rewatch the Agni kai, she blocked Azula's lightning bending with a wave pulled from a small container of water.
can you do one on the history of the southern water tribe.
Still waiting for Earth Kingdom. I’m still patient but I’m getting more vocal.
Can we please have the history of Suki, because she need to be more recognized instead being taken for taken?
i must say... i'm impressed... i like how u are thorough with the fighting styles😎😏😊
It’s worth noting that the rigidity of foggy swamp style and lack of the usual grace in waterbending is somewhat reminiscent of earth bending, which makes sense as they’re located in the earth kingdom.
Early bird to another fantastic video!
I think you forgot about the healing part of water bending
Finally! Water Bending is my fave!
Omg im your fan i play the lengend of korra roblox game to
@@bluebloxbang6105 Hello 😃
Omg please do the history of flight for airbenders that would be so cool.
Water bending is the most satisfying bending tbh 😂 .. I love it
Original firebenders: dragons
Original earthbenders: badger moles
Original airbenders: sky bison
Original waterbenders: *m o o n*
wan shing ton: I've studied southern water style, northern water style, even foggy swamp style
Korra: that's called pro-bending water style learn it
A air bender can basically water bend if it controls the air around the water
With that logic, waterbenders can bend air using the moisture in the air. And it won't be easy bending water with air. It would take alot of wind to get it off the ground(atleast size able waters). It would be more like water pushing instead of bending.
Amazing video
Great job👍
Is it kind of ironic that I want to be a water bender, but I’m scared of the deep sea?
Love waterbending
I would learn southern style, swamp style, and pro bending style because I would have traditional with southern style. The versatility of swamp bending with plants and taking the water in the plants. Finally with them modern pro bending style if I have limited supply of water and I would still be a cab able with a small amount of water.🌊❄️🌧
I love Waterbending because you can bloodbend too
Blood bending was indeed a southern water tribe tradition passed down by Hama, but sadly got Kiya killed.
YES FINALLY!
Water bending has always been my favorite I just like how pretty it looks and how like sneaky strong it is
Same
I don’t understand how the techniques Hama taught Katara were considered Southern Waterbending style when all of them consisted of finding water in the most unlikely of places, when they would have been living in the southern tundra and therefore have no need to learn how to draw water from plants and trees when there are none.
Alex Ale IKRRR
Southern style focuses on improvisation and adaptation. Drawing water from anywhere is basically that.
Hama's style of drawing water from everything isn't so much a style unto itself as it is just her being more resourceful and experienced. Her actual bending style, that being the way she uses the water once she's gathered it, is probably rooted in the style of the Southern Water Tribe, although also probably refined into a unique variant due to many long years of isolation from the rest of the Water Tribe.
Huỳnh Hải I see, thanks! I think I understand now that Southern style is focused of progressiveness in both the ways of offensive attacks and resourcefulness.
Brutalyte616 thank you for the good explanation! I see what you mean now. Very good reasons for the things I wasn’t sure about!
2:34 you forgot Sokka style
i love water bendind
It beautiful
I like waterbending the most because it is has healing technique unlike other bending who only wreck havoc.
0:53 Love this moment
Desna and Eska have a cool modern style of waterbending it looks more like firebending
This was a very informative video! Though it would have been better with the inclusivity of the blood bending as it is a sub bending of water bending.
Hi I would love to waterbend waterbending is so cool (: 😄😄❄🌊💧☃️🌊🌊🏖❄
Lion turtles, sure did say they helped humans before they could support themselves
❤please make more avatar videos
Waterbenders can also perform sweatbending like how Katara did when her and Toph was looked in a wood prison. So they can be powerful in the desert.
Does anyone know what song or ost this guy uses
Next history of Earth kingdom and earthbending.
Rewatching ATLA got me thinking when the Puppet-master episode was up. If water-benders become more powerful during the full moon, would water-tribe born Avatars like Kuruk be the most powerful? And would all Avatars become much more stronger with their water-bending during the full moon?
I've been excited for this one!
Waterbender forever 💙💦
The foggy swamp benders be cool doe
yasssss
Fun fact : water bending healing is actually inspired by reiki ( which I do too :D ) that’s how water benders notice chi blocks!!
I finally know everything about water bending.
I would be so cool if waterbenders could redirect lighting by storing it in a bubble of something and then creat a lighting water whip lol, the lighting would not hurt the waterbender if the water is not touching the user
It would be cool but it would nit make any sense..
Do earthbending next
So I've noticed you did explanations on the governing powers of each of the elements you've done you've done are nomads Fire Nation Southern Southern Northern end swamp tribe for water benders and then so that means you've done so the only ones left to do are the Earth nature earth Kingdom and the Earth bending
Water 💧 is the element of change. The people of the Water Tribe are capable of adapting to many things. They have a deep sense of community and love that holds them together through anything.
People saying one of the four elements is strongest need to rewatch the show. One of the most basic things you'll know about bending is that the elements are all balanced, and strength is dependant on the benders as individuals.
What about perfume bending. Maybe he or she can bend flameable liquids
Waterbenders control water, not liquid, so those perfumes were surely made out of water. But a flammable liquid cannot be made out of water, so it isn't something a waterbender can exploit.
Earth bending🌏 is the last
Oo?
History of Ice bending, please
Thumbnail be like
Yes Hakoda is a WATERBENDER
Fire bending history video please
You did more of a "Pros and Cons of waterbending" video than the history of waterbending.
Water benders would be op if: they were a master, it was a full moon, it was raining, and if they were at one of the poles. Edit: and if they were the avatar in the avatar state and if it was winter.
The Periodic Gamer Imagine the destruction omgggg
I love water bending over any other bendings.
Same
Same
Waterbending is the best bending, u can control life like plants and animals, u can use it to heal, u can permanently destroy organs
Something I wanna point out is that Waterbenders seem to have the ability to control air temperature if their is moisture in the air
