Airbending is notable for being almost purely defensive, as well as the most dynamic of the four bending arts.

The key to airbending is flexibility and finding and following the path of least resistance. The first airbenders learned their art from the flying bison. Airbenders continually sought spiritual enlightenment, and, as a result, all children born into the Air Nomads were benders.

The Air Nomads detached themselves from worldly problems and concerns finding peace and freedom was the key to solving their difficulties in life. The peaceful Air Nomads utilized this type of bending in their everyday lives.Īir is the element of freedom. Airbending, one of the four elemental bending arts, is the aerokinetic ability to control and manipulate air.
