JULINA: And do you use the same corresponding martial arts as they do in the series? The Hung Gar for earthbending, tai chi for waterbending, and -

NIGHT: And the ba gua and all that stuff?

JULINA: Yeah.

NIGHT: Somewhat …

JULINA: Ba gua isn’t a realistic martial art, is it?

NIGHT: It’s very circular and all that stuff. We generally kept to that; we definitely kept to the tai chi for the waterbenders, and the Northern Shaolin for the firebenders. But we were a little bit more Bruce Lee about it and let in a little bit more of a mixture of stuff because it became a little bit constricting. The Hung Gar, for sure, we kept in terms of the very low stances and the groundedness of it all, so I would say the answer is yes, yes we did.

JULINA: How awesome. It sounds really fun.

NIGHT: Yeah, it was fun — as you can tell, the martial arts part of it was really fun for me. It was just kind of a secret passion of mine.
