How do I train in a martial art similar to Zaheer's fighting style?
I'm interested in learning a martial art that resembles Zaheer’s movements in The Legend of Korra, his smooth, natural flips, dynamic kicks, and fast, evasive style. I also want to incorporate bo-staff and spear fighting as a side focus.
I’ve heard that airbending is inspired by Baguazhang, but Zaheer’s style looks different from the traditional forms I’ve seen. I live in a place where the closest martial art available is Judo (which I’ve practiced since I was 5 but haven’t been active in for the past few months). Since I might have to train on my own, I’m considering slowing down Zaheer’s fights, analyzing his movements, and learning them piece by piece, then eventually stringing them together like shadowboxing with airbending.
Does anyone have recommendations for specific martial arts, training methods, or resources that could help me? Any insight would be appreciated!
