Distanced firebending still uses Northern Shaolin, but with the style shifting to one that has a stronger resemblance to Changquan (Long Fist) kung fu. Long Fist style prominently uses fully extended kicks and striking techniques, and is often perceived as a long-range fighting system. The common Changquan motto is that "the best defense is a strong offense," meaning that the practitioner preemptively attacks so aggressively that the opponent doesn't have the chance to strike or counter.
The Long Fist style is considered to contain a good balance of hand and foot techniques, but in particular it is renowned for its impressive acrobatic kicks. As shown above, Long Fist techniques are most popular and memorable for their whirling, running, leaping, and acrobatics.
