~The Legend Of Fire~

Fire is an aggressive, vicious, and direct power. Like a predatory animal, a Fire warrior tracks his prey until it exposes a weakness, then charges in for the kill. In a fight, a Fire warrior makes up for his lack of defensive moves by overwhelming his opponent with a barrage of blows in a variety of shapes. A kick or a punch can send a powerful blast of fire. Fire warriors can also spin in the air and send rings of fire. Also, they can send fire from their heel. Fire is a very dangerous element that needs hours of practice and meditation to control the powerful flames.
