I personally think it’s very rude how people can’t really study martial arts for a living anymore. I mean, university is nice and all, but why can’t I spend my days living in my master’s attic or something, doing household chores in between bone-breaking lessons?

Modern AU Gaang Martial Arts Headcanons :) 🥋
Zuko:
He and Azula were forced into both Judo and Karate from a young age. Zuko constantly got frustrated with his katas and that his technique wasn’t perfect, while Azula was always angry that people didn’t want to spar with her because she was so aggressive. Despite their challenges (which included both of them breaking people’s bones by accidents), they both reached first-degree black belt. Zuko stopped attending when he moved in with Iroh, but Azula is a third-degree black belt. 
Toph:
She likes more physical arts, especially boxing and wrestling. She dabbled in taekwondo but the speed wasn’t her forte so she decided to go into boxing instead, and from there, she joined the school’s wrestling team and does BJJ on her own time. She’s gotten in trouble many, many times because she doesn’t care much for rules, and has a clean WR rate of 84-3. Like Azula, most people are too scared to spar her, but she isn’t as frustrated about it.
Sokka:
His first experience in martial arts was from a crappy mall studio where he went because his parents wanted him to learn self-defence. He was a big Karate Kid watcher when he was young, and tried lots of martial arts, though was the best at taekwondo. As he got older, he didn’t have much interest in it, and just had his dad teach him techniques at home rather than attend a school. Toph always insists on sparring him, and he agreed once, but it left him bruised for weeks, so he doesn’t dabble in it much.
Katara:
While originally not much of a fan, she was raised the same as Sokka: take martial arts to learn how to defend yourself. While he liked the fighting, she was more of a fan of the technique, like her mother was. When her mom passed, it only magnified the choice, and she kept at Karate for a few years while Sokka only dabbled. She got to brown belt before her dojo was shut down and, combined with the other stresses of life, she took a break. She still loves martial arts, though, and watches lots of videos about them. 
Aang:
He took a lot of Tibetan White Crane and tried a few other Chinese martial arts. He is skilled with the bo staff, too, and once he and Zuko became friends, they practised a lot of weapon sparring together. Aang’s marital arts practice involved a lot of conditioning, so he can do an impressively high amount of knuckle push-ups. He was taught mainly defence, which especially part of the reason he rarely won fights against Zuko, because he was often too afraid to attack, though that’s more of him being a pacifist than his martial art background. 
Suki:
While she mainly performed Aikido and Kendo, Tessenjutsu had always been her favourite. She has extremely fast reflexes from so much practice. Additionally, she started a martial arts club in her school and met Sokka through there. She was like a mix of Katara and Sokka, enjoying the fighting and cultural aspects equally. When she went to college, it was harder to find a place to train especially with such a packed schedule, but she makes time for it.

The true essence of martial arts is not about victory or defeat, but about the perfection of one's character.

So my grandpa just asked me how often I train and I proudly told him that almost every evening for 2 hours and he straight up went:
"Well, no wonder you don't have a man."
Which is right up there with my other grandpa telling my father:
"Look at her, she's scary, I wouldn't date her even if she weren't my granddaughter."

On the Spirituality of Martial Arts
The spirituality of martial arts (Budo) is not an obvious thing. No amount of outfits, other accoutrement, or religiously adjacent cultural customs can elucidate (let alone comprise) the actual heart of training.
Contemporary definitions define spirituality as that which concerns “the nonphysical part of a person which is the seat of emotions and character,” with etymology uncovering the nature of spirit as “breath,” that essential yet often overlooked exchange of life giving gasses between our environment and innermost being.
In East Asia, the etymology of the word spirit (神) pertains to lightening, and the seemingly spontaneous manifestation of raw, overwhelming power in nature. The ancients saw lightening as coming strictly from the sky. Contemporarily we understand the visible force of lightening to come from the ground up. In reality, it’s both.
Budo is simultaneously an outwardly recognizable physical discipline and more subtly internal set of commitments and challenges. It is something learned from the outside in, but truly manifest only from the inside out. This meeting place between interior and exterior, between mental and physical is where the spirituality of martial arts abides.
Beginning with the common grappling between bodily compliance with the obscure physical demands of the arts (and the competition for attention and motivation with myriad other forces vying for our time) the spiritual path of Budo has its genesis as mere discipline, and its truest revelation in the spontaneous inseparability between technique and the dispositions, commitments, and activities of everyday life.
Budo is a pursuit that comes to occupy and possess one’s mind as much as one’s mind, when peeled back to its essence, comes to occupy and define Budo. In this, Budo is not simply a practice of combat or military tactics, but rather an orientation toward life that elicits awareness, acceptance, and harmonious accord with reality as it is. For this reason, aphorisms such as “Ken Zen Ichi Nyo” (拳禪一如) have come into being - “the fist and Zen are one.”
Conflict and peace are in constant relationship, seemingly a dichotomy until their dynamic tension is realized as a fundamental unitary nature. Life and death, and indeed all supposed opposites are also like this. Budo is a ground of intentionality where this fundamental unitary nature can be perceived and proactively engaged, with conscious attention and agency. What could be more spiritual, lest we confuse the constructs of belief and creed with true matters of spirit?
