[Avatar TLA] Someone mentioned a windsword... which isn't very monk-like

I was hanging out at this local weapons shop one day, just looking for a new pair of nunchucks. Gotta impress the ladies after all. And I notice this group of kids walk through the door. One dude was goofing off with a ton of different weapons, probably picking out his first one.

And there was this other kid with a headband. He dressed up in this giant metal suit and mentioned to his girlfriend that he'd want to have a windsword... which is evidently a handle that an airbender could blow air out of and cut I guess.

But I thought all airbenders were pacifist monks. Its why the Fire Nation curb stomped them. Some people think they didn't even have an army.

So what's up with this windsword? Was there a subsection of warrior monks? Were there some airbenders that didn't follow the religious path at all? Or did this kid just make it up for his fan fiction where he pretends he's an airbender or the Avatar or something?

Many monks in our world practice martial arts, despite following a code of pacifism. The constant striving for perfection of techniques that challenge both the body and mind allows the monk to focus on within, and gives them something to attempt to perfect. It makes sense, then, that in their world Airbenders would attempt to reach the peak of martial superiority, which also gives them the chance to prove how strong-willed they are by never actually using their powers in combat,

Additionally, it is entirely possible that the Windsword technique was invented by a previous Avatar from a non-Air tribe. Perhaps a Fire Nation origin Avatar created it, combining his people's natural affinity for warfare with the incredible deadliness of Airbending.
