Kyoshi

I been thinking Kyoshi died at 230. At that old age how did she fight. Or was it possible she like Bumi kept in shape?

Its revealed in the recent kyoshi novel that she was able to live such a long time because of a spiritual/meditative technique that essentially pauses aging. So she very well could have had the body of a 40 year old at age 230.

That sort of thing never sat well with me. If only because, if anybody could do it, WHY DOES NOBODY LEARN HOW?

Mostly because it's rarely taught and, heck, even she couldn't pull it off perfectly.
