Description
In the end, I'm conflicted about this. I'm still unsure if I wanted capeoria to be airbending and aikido to be waterbending. Still easy enough to switch should I ever finish these.Related content

aikido could be interpreted for multiple elements depending on the aikidoka. Personally, I can imagine a fire-bender using aikido. But if asked, I would list:
Earthbending - muay boran or silat, alot of ground techniques and low stances for both arts;
Airbending - capoeira and tricking, alot of momentum is required to build power;
Waterbending - any kind of grappling art like sambo or brazillian jujitsu, you can be swept away (throws) or drowned (submissions);
Firebending - Aikido, despite it's philosophy, techniques focus alot on breath power and in certain demos, aikido can be performed really aggressively and it could also be quite unpredictable, just like fire.
But that''s just my point of view of course

I almost feel like aikido would more closely related to water bending since both focus on redirecting energy (oops lol I just saw your description). Still an awesome set of sketches!
