The monks of the style of the earth have studied the nature of the earth and learned to control it through ki. They are mostly known for have created a technique they called "Heavy Metal". The monk can make his body hard as metal, thereby increasing his mass and allowing them to use the resulting increased gravitational force in attacks and defence. This power is strongly connected to the power of the earth, the stronger the bond with it the stronger the skill of the earth style monk will be.
