Talk:Chi blocking/@comment-98.234.245.34-20120409215354

Kyusho jitsu is one of several arts that involve Chi disruption. The idea behind Ty Lee's fighting style is more of a disruption then a technical "blocking" of Chi. Her precision allows her to shoot massive amounts of Chi on specific meridians up to the brain. Notice how her knock out blows usually involve a strike on the inside of the arms, as those meridians run up the body. The meridians on the outside of the arms run down the body, hence why when she struck Azula she lost her bending but was not "stunned" by the strike.(Psychologically stunned I'm sure but not physically) I am thrilled to see that the creators/ writers put the effort into researching such subtle but very important details.
