There are many different moves that benders in Avatar use, and I will show my descriptions and names for each of them here! Some move names were from the TCG cards, and some I made, but all the description and example pictures were done by me.

Stone Launch
A more advanced version of moving a rock. The earthbender takes a strong step or pulls a large stone with the arms from the ground. Then, the earthbender gives the levitating boulder a powerful kick to launch it at a target.

Earth Shield
The earthbender calls up a slab of earth from the ground by stepping to shield from incoming attacks. A more advanced technique is to summon 2 slabs of earth together to protect himself, and then pushing one or both of the shields at an enemy afterwards.

Rock Pillar
An earthbender can use this powerful attack by firmly stepping the ground and then throwing his arms forward to force out a single or several pillars out of earth to send foes flying back.

Ice Guard
The bender raises his/her hands to force a wave of water in front, and freezes it to block incoming attacks. This has been seen used by Aang protecting himself from the YuYen's arrows.

Tidal Wave
The bender moves his/her arms and hands forward to create a giant or medium sized tidal wave that crashes into foes.

Surf Spray
Calling water from any available source, the bender shoots it forcefully at an opponent with a strong pushing motion with the arms and hands.

Dancing Mists
Advanced waterbenders can do this move. The bender summons the moisture from surrounding air and turns them into gases to conceal themselves or others. This is done by a quick flick and crossing of the arms. Waterbenders can also freeze the gases around them to immobilize enemies.

Icicle Spears and Daggers
The bender shapes water into sharp forms and freezes them. He/She then throws the icicles at an opponent. Most are multiple small dagger sized icicles, but with more water, an advanced waterbender can create larger spear shaped icicles. In "The Waterbending Master", Pakku used this technique to trap Katara with large icicle spears.

Frost Discs
A bender lifts his/her hands to freeze a portion of water. Then, using a slicing motion, cut the ice form into circular thin blades, which are launched at an opponent. These were only seen being used by Katara in "The Waterbending Master" as a fierce attack when she was thrown into a body of water in her fight with Master Pakku.
