The Last Airbender

I am so excited for this movie! To quote a wise man, "if the kids love it, it's gotta be good." So I gave the cartoon a shot. The Nicktoon channel has been playing marathons of Avatar: The Last Airbender almost non-stop every weekend. The show is pretty entertaining. It's got a great story but most of the themes are based upon old martial arts traditions and character development like perseverance, trust, and courage. Every episode has an epic fight sequence with the main martial art being kung fu, so powerful that their kung fu moves can move the ground, create tornados or typhoons, and create huge fireballs.

So from a series of books came the cartoon and from the cartoon came the new movie The Last Airbender directed by M. Night Shyamalan. It is live action and the coolest part, the main character is an ATA kid from Texas! So make sure you check it out and come to our Last Airbender buddy class! We'll learn self defense, learn the martial arts that each of the elements were based on -Fire, Earth, Water, and Wind- and of course, have an awesome and fun class!

Here's the latest trailer from Youtube of the movie:
