Monk skill tree names?

So, by now whe have A, B and C skill tree. Based on the current skills of each tree, can you guys think a name for each one?|||I thought they weren’t going to use skill trees in D3?|||Yeah, they seem to have pulled a Steve Jobs-style "you won't need skill trees. We have something more magical and innovative for you" type of announcement. Yet to see what it is.

But, it would be so great if there was a tree system, one was called Kung Fu, just for giggles.|||There won't be skill trees per se... But they will still be used for displaying the skills in order, therefore we'll have 3 monk trees anyways...|||So, anyone has any name for those trees, even if they dont exist no more?|||There's no way to even guess, with just the 8 skills we ever saw. And I didn't see any real logic to where the skills were, even in their brief 3 tree existence.



Other than the Wiz sorted by element, and slightly the WD, the 3 skill trees weren't logically grouped in D3 anyway. It wasn't like D2, where you had clear offense/defense/aura type divisions. In d3 they seemed to be going for viable builds that would stay entirely in each tree, which meant a variety of skills in all 3. The barb's were certainly like that, with the skills all mixed around.

The Monk's 8 look to be following that path, though it's hard to judge with just 8, and we have no idea if the way we saw them was at all akin to how they were set for the final game. More likely Bliz took 8 skills that were working pretty well and that players could have fun with, and stuck them into the demo build, without much worry given to which tree they were in.

As for names for the hypothetical and now gone 3 trees, it's pure guessing, but probably something from the char lore. Force, Balance, and Essence. Wind, Fire, Earth. Etc.
