I think most benders fight unarmed, but there's no reason not to train in weapons.
Benders fight with bending not weapons. I mean look at Team Avatar, the only one to have a weapon is Sokka, the none bender. By dividing her focus between weapons and bender, the Avatar will not be as strong as she could in either, especially at a young age and the fact that she's practically learning the four different martial art styles the bending is based off of. Try and argue, I dare you. I'm a martial artist with ten years of experience and now I'm teaching other people how to defend themselves. I know what I'm talking about. I'm also insulted by the fact that you basically called me an idiot. This may be the only Avatar rp on here right now, but that does mean I have to be part of it. I can leave if I'm not wanted. And am not afraid to.@FantasyDreams To train Kasumi in weaponry? :/ And they are going to their respective nations, instead of staying at the Southern Water Tribe. I've done this roleplay many times and you are the first to ask that. Just saying.
