Ty Lee Joins the Circus Pages 1-6

Chi blockers literally just have to sprint towards the benders before they can do their "big wave of back the fuck up" move, and they can kidnap the avatar multiple times. That's why Sokka was the only person we saw holding his own against Ty Lee (outside of sneak attacks), he just tried to dodge and counter without weird, erroneous movement that creates openings, and was able to keep fighting even after getting his pressure points hit.

Terra Team Fight (Part 6 of 6) Mass Chi Blocking

that moment when you believe you are a waterbender and you accidentally spill a glass of water on the floor and you try to soak up the water and put it back in your glass but it doesn't work so you simply think you were chiblocked 

I find it strange that Bryke promoted Chi blocking so much at Sdcc so much only to have Chi blocking virtually disappear after episode 6. I know the electric gloves made it obsolete, but the Chi blocker battles were much more interesting than just seeing Korra and the gang get constantly electrocuted and the subsequently passing out.

Did we ever find out where Amon/the Equalists learned their chi-blocking techniques, orrr?

Ty Lee was the only on in the series we knew who knew how to chi-block.I'm not saying shes evil, remember she joined the kyoshi warriors. But maybe after teaching lots of people how to do it someone found a "good use" for it and that person ended up teaming with Amon. Amon said their numbers were small at first so a small group of chi-blockers. Basically I'm saying maybe Ty-lee's descendants are responsible or someone she taught started spreading it for evil.
