In the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender, there are options in fighting called jing, which guide how one directs their energy. Of the 85 of them in existence, neutral jing stands out as a particularly methodical approach, where one listens and waits until the moment is right to strike. It’s known as the key to earthbending, as the likes of characters such as Toph and King Bumi specialize in, though there are other characters who have utilized this technique too; such as in Season 3, when Iroh waited until the solar eclipse before breaking out of prison.
