Probending

Probending is a fictional professional sport originating from the animated television series "The Legend of Korra." It is a high-contact team sport that combines martial arts with elemental manipulation. The game is played in a specialized arena called a Pro-bending arena.

Two teams of three benders compete against each other. Each team consists of one waterbender, one earthbender, and one firebender. The objective of the game is to push the opposing team's members off a series of raised platforms, known as the "towers," at the end of the arena. The arena itself is divided into three distinct elemental zones: water, earth, and fire, which the players can manipulate to their advantage and to create offensive or defensive maneuvers.

The game is played in rounds, and points are awarded for successfully knocking opponents off the platforms. The first team to win a predetermined number of rounds, typically three, wins the match. Probending requires a high degree of skill, teamwork, and strategic thinking. The athletes train rigorously to hone their bending abilities and physical conditioning.

Professional probending is a popular spectator sport within the fictional world of "The Legend of Korra," with dedicated leagues, famous athletes, and passionate fan bases. Matches are often broadcast live, and significant rivalries develop between teams. The sport serves as a significant cultural element within the series, showcasing how bending has evolved into a modern, organized form of entertainment.
