I think Ty Lee's Chi blocking is just an advanced from of martial art, something she learned somewhere (no idea where)which taught her of the pressure and nerve points on the body. A bedner can't bend if their limbs are paralized and we see Ty Lee paralize Sokka (who is not a bender) in a similar fashion, so I think her Chi blocking is just a knowledge of the nervous system as they know it, the literal flow of energy (or Chi) through the body. I think this differs in avatar from the Chakras and the soul and spirit which are the key things to Aang's ability to energybend.
