Yeah, bending's pretty cool. But it's not everything.

[Massaging her jaw gently, Korra smiled even though it stung.]

I'll be fine, don't worry.

[She set her teeth apart and look occupied for a moment as her tongue dug around in her mouth, then she spat a small speck of blood on the ground. Her back teeth had made a small cut from the blow.]

So you're ninjutsu training really forces you to think on your feet, huh?
