Talk:Chi blocking/@comment-174.45.176.125-20120515155121/@comment-5142401-20120528161548

While spirits and animals teaching people things in the Avatar world is pretty common, I'd actually attribute Chi Blocking's existence to well...equality. Nobody ever said that the Equalists in LoK were the first to fight for their cause. It makes much more sense, IMO, that a long time ago people decided to find a way to fight benders, and it worked!

But, this proposed idea is pre-TLA, so benders were undoubtably the most important people in society, and a witch hunt to eviscerate chi blocking happened, hence why it was a mysterious, little known art (Pre-Equalists)
