Maybe your bending is just different then, if it's still effective that way.
[That's a compromise, right?]
The reason Bending is the way it is in my world is because it is how we fight. It's a combination of controlling our elements and unarmed combat.
[Most Benders had no difficulty combining physical attacks with their Bending or with translating the fighting forms of bending to purely physical unarmed combat, and this was a fact that served him well when he and Uncle were hiding their Bending in the Earth Kingdom.]
But it sounds like your people develop their nonbending skills more to compensate for not doing the same. That's something I understand. Not all Firebenders train with weapons but I've trained with dao -- dual swords.
