形意拳
Iroh is a retired general with a lifetime of combat experience and a reputation of honor, loyalty and integrity. Iroh is highly skilled in firebending; the "Avatar" show creators based the forms of this fictional form of combat upon the real-life Chinese martial arts techniques of Changquan, Shaolinquan, Lóng Xíng Mó Qiáo and Xing Yi Quan.&lt;ref name="avatar2/index.jhtml"&gt;&lt;/ref&gt; Iroh also taught Zuko how to redirect lightning, a technique he discovered by studying waterbending.
