J?n
J?n, also known as "Nei Jin" or "Fa Jin", meaning "power" or "energy" is a term that describes the myriad of options toward which one can direct his or her energy, both internally and externally. These energy "pathways" don't only correspond to a person in battle, but also to all aspects of the person's life. The knowledge of J?n is at best common knowledge, being well more known among the Earth Kingdom. Even then, the first three are the most well known, the other eighty-two being less common knowledge, but still just as common and useful in people.
The Main Three
Positive J?n - corresponding to advancing or attacking.
Positive j?n is mostly exercised in firebending, and complements the aggressive tactics of firebenders during combat. Firebenders typically prefer preemptive strikes, to attack first and to come at their opponents with full force and overwhelming sheer power. These positive j?n attributes are also found in the attitudes and the willful natures that are common amongst the people of the Fire Nation, as well as the Fire Colonies.
Negative J?n - corresponding to retreating or evading.
Negative j?n is mostly exercised in airbending, reflecting the Air Nomads' pacifistic lifestyle and their philosophy that all life is sacred; they asserted that fighting is only used as a last resort when conflict cannot be avoided. Airbenders are more mobile fighters compared to Earthbenders and possess a highly dynamic fighting style. In combat, to "avoid and evade" is a typical Airbender tactic.
In the case of waterbending, common maneuvers involve following the moon and the ocean's example of "push and pull". As such, Waterbenders will alternate between and maintain a balance of both positive and negative j?n in combat, allowing them to turn defense into offense as they use their opponent's force against them while conserving their own.
Neutral J?n - corresponding to waiting and listening.
Neutral j?n is stated to be the key to earthbending. Fundamentally, neutral j?n involves listening, though seemingly doing nothing, and waiting for the right moment to strike. When in combat, Earthbenders are more stationary combatants compared to Airbenders, usually waiting for their opponent to come to them, while standing their ground and meeting their opponents' attacks head-on, before delivering a deadly strike of their own.
Neutral j?n forms the basis of true earthbending, and is the concept used by the first Earthbenders, the Badgermoles. The idea is also fundamental in seismic sense, a perceptive fighting style used by select benders. As highlighted, someone who has mastered neutral j?n is someone who waits and listens before striking.
