The First Air Nomad

**The First Air Nomad**

**Life**

The first air nomad was a man from Japan and China named Arata Asami. He was born as an animalblood since both of his parents were animalbloods. His mother was from Japan and was also a earth group and his father was from China and a fire group. He was born the 27th of january year 1934. We recently found out that the air nomads were a late group due to the others coming around at 1522. He became the first ever animalblood born with the element of air. In his early years around the age of 9-12 he started practicing okinawan karate. His father was a master martial artist and quickly decided to teach on his skills to his son Arata. At the age of 16 Arata had already mastered his fathers Karate skills and became a very young master of Karate. He continued on with his life until he reaced the age of 19 where he decided to leave his family to join a Shaolin temple to learn Kung Fu. As the years passed Arata got more skilled at Kung Fu. But he never forgot Karate, he trained Karate everyday on his breaks which means he never really got time to rest. At the age of 24 Arata packed his things and left the Shaolin temple to return home. Only to find out his family had moved. He had no idea where they could be. Arata was lonely without any money at the time and he couldn't find his family. Arata lived a homeless life for a few months. After a few months Arata saw a master of Tai Chi near the area he was in. This master was was challenging martial artists and giving them a high amount of money if they won. Apperantly as it says in our books the amount of money he was giving was so much that you could hire an apartment. Arata quickly saw a chance to find his family so he challenged the Tai Chi master (unknown). As the crowd was looking the Tai Chi master got into his fighting pose. Arata was just standing still without doing anything. In our book it says the fight only lasted 5 minutes before Arata won. With this big amount of money Arata first went to some place (unknown) to buy ramen. After a big bowl of ramen Arata saved his money for his trip to find his family. At age 25 Arata found out his family was 3 miles away and he quickly bought a trip from an unknown guy who gave him a ride with his car. After reuniting with his family Arata started training Karate with his dad again. Later on at age 26 Arata's dad died of some sickness (unknown). After 1 year when Arata was 27 he gave half of the money he had to his mother because he was going to leave again. Arata traveled to all different places to learn new martial art styles such as baguazhang, wing chun etc. He was a master of a lot of styles. He found a wife got 3 children and taught them all martial arts. Later on to create a new style called Kūki which included wing chun, kung fu, karate, baguazhang etc. Asami opened a school for animalbloods with the element of air and he created the air nomads. At age 50 Arata Asami died on October the 22nd 1984. 2 of his children who both were animalbloods continued his legacy and the air nomads still exist to this day.

**Martial Arts**

Arata Asami was a master of Wing Chun, Karate, Baguazhang, Kung Fu & a little bit of Tai Chi after his battle with that tai chi master he decided to learn some in the future while learning wing chun etc. Arata was a underrated master and wasen't much known as big masters like Ip man for example. Arata was challenged a lot during his time on this earth. Just because he knew a lot of styles didn't mean he was the best. Arata had been beaten multiple times by great masters. But he was still a great martial artist.
