  • Ty Lee was a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, often utilizing chi blocking, a unique form of martial arts which targets pressure points located in the human body. By striking these, she was able to disrupt an individual's chi flow and temporarily paralyze them, thereby also preventing the victim from bending for a period of time.

      Isn't her martial art more inspired by Varmakkalai though (employed in Kalaripayattu, Silambam and a bunch of other South Indian martial arts)? With the Portuguese in Goa decribing how those who studied the martial art of Kalaripayattu, "when they are seven years of age, are sent to schools, where they are taught many tricks of nimbleness and dexterity; there they teach them to dance and turn about and to twist on the ground, to take royal leaps and other leaps, and this they learn twice a day as long as they are children, and they become so loose jointed and supple and they make them turn their bodies contrary to nature". Given her fighting style, doesn't this seem to match Ty Lee's martial art a lot better than Dim Mak does?
      Even more so, given that Dim Mak's 'touch of death' is explicitly described by Kung Fu practitioners as having a 'delayed action', of anything between a few minutes and several weeks, and Ty Lee's, like Varmakkalai's paralysis techniques, takes effect near-instantaneously. And also worth mentioning, a sub-variant of Varmakkalai was also developed and employed to control and attack war elephants; these pressure-point striking techniques are still employed to this day by elephant tamers in Indian circuses, and after the martial arts bans and destruction of their technique scrolls which were implemented across India under British rule, the circuses were the only places where these techniques managed to survive. And where did Ty Lee learn her chi-blocking martial arts techniques? The circus...

    Here's a theory I once read that really made sense to me. Ty Lee is actually a descendant of an airbender who later moved to the Fire Nation.
    Reasons why:
    1. Her eyes are grey like Aang's and the other airbenders that we once saw.
    2. She intentionally fights by doing no harm to her opponents, as a way of peacefully defeating them.
    3. She always acts as the voice of reason and peace whenever she's with Mai and Azula.
    4. She's constantly happy which connects the history that the Air Nomads had a great sense of humor and fun.
    5. Chi blocking could have been adapted from old styles of bending passed down to the non-benders of the Air Nomads.
    So it can be safe to say that Ty Lee ancestors could possibly be one of the Air Nomads.

      Airbending faded away over time if that airbender doesn't has enough spiritual connection. So yes her ancestors maybe were the airbenders who survived the genocide and sneak into Fire Nation. But due to cover themselves, they couldn't live as a normal life an airbender could, plus anxious of being hunting and genocide too. After a long time they lost their own bending and their newborn childs are no longer have the power. I think it also happened to a bunch of runaway airbenders to EK or WT(what Fire Nation gonna do if they run into those nations territories ? Crying around and demand to get them all?). And after the Harmonic Convergence that their descendants received (or unlock) airbending again (it make sense that no other bendings was unlocked like that)

    • @TheKatti5000

      I've heard this theory too, and I quite like it. Her appearance definitely suggests some Air Nomad ancestry, if you look for the right things. Actually, she looks quite similar to Jinora! It's a fun theory for sure, even though that ancestry would have to be very distant given her family's noble title. From the pre-Sozin era, I'd say.

      @@Necroskull388 True. Although she has a huge weakness against anyone who can bend huge amounts of an element because as acrobatic as she is she can only move as fast as an unassisted human. In this sense you kind of have to admire her intelligence in picking fights. She never fights if she's at that kind of disadvantage, which is why she never fights Aang or Toph, who can easily interrupt her attempts to get close.

    1:54 is no one talking about how smart it was of Toph to subdue Ty Lee first, in my opinion out of Azusa, Ty Lee, and Mai, Ty Lee is the most dangerous one especially if you’re fighting her for the first time ever with her Chi Blocking and acrobatics and agility she’s definitely the fastest and it’s scary how she can subdue you with just a few strikes, yeah Azula has firebending and stuff but you can avoid that by dodging especially if you have an ability that isn’t harmed by fire like all the other elements do, and Mai well her marksmanship can be avoided too. It’s just my opinion tho

    Ty Lee was a sweet girl turned into a villain by Azula. She just wanted to be a performer at the circus but Azula passive aggressively threatened her to join or else. That's what a toxic friendship can do. Eventually Azula's closest friends cut her off. First Mai ends their friendship by stating she loves Zuko more than she fears her. Then Ty Lee chi blocks Azula to defend Mai. It was one of the most "I'm through with you" moment in Avatar TLA. The other moment was when Zuko finally confronts his father during the eclipse telling him he wasn't a true father to him and that what his father did to him was never justifiable though most of his life, he was convinced that it was justified.

    @Xylarxcode 11 місяців тому +32

    Ty Lee, like many of the others on this show, is a prodigy in her field.
    Katara learned how to waterbend with the best of them in record time, keeping pace with much older, more experienced masters and picking up the art of bloodbending when she was still a teen.
    Toph was already one of the best earthbenders when the group met her and knew how to do all sorts of crazy things like tell someone's position and intent through reading their body movement in the earth, knowing when they're lying all the way to inventing metalbending. Toph is crazy powerful and she's like what? 10? 11?
    Azula was a firebending prodigy that could create lightning at a very young age, something which took even Iroh many years to master and was capable of using her firebending in innovative ways only very few other benders could replicate, like using it to propel herself forward in a faux flying fashion.
    Aang was already prodigious in airbending before they figured out he was the next avatar and invented his own tricks and airbending skills when he was just a kid, like the ability to float on a ball of air which sorta became a signature move of his. He was so good with his airbending, he was able to channel it on pure reflex, which saved his life by a hair on several occasions.
    And yet, here's Ty Lee. A girl with no bending, but she scares them all shitless anyway. Like them, she's a prodigy in her field. A girl with extreme flexibility and agility, capable of performing feats that even a perfectionist like Azula was incapable of replicating and we all know Azula is no slouch. And on top of that, she has the ability to block people's chi, temporarily preventing them from accessing their ability to bend their respective element and paralyzing them or parts of their body, as per her own choosing. She's so good with it, she can do it with her eyes closed.
    You can actually see Katara panic when Ty Lee comes running her way after she knows what Ty Lee can do, because getting your bending removed, even if it's just temporarily is extremely distressing for a bender. They rely on it so much that when it's taken away from them, they don't feel like themselves anymore. Ty Lee genuinely terrified Katara because she's fast and agile enough to quickly close gaps and dodge any attacks that may be thrown her way and once she's close, it's game over. In a world where bending rules supreme, Ty Lee has an ability that makes her look like their version of the boogeyman, even if she's a lovable goofball who prefers to play rather than harm.

      @@daniellalagria5922 Ty Lee was a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, often utilizing chi blocking, a unique form of martial arts that targets pressure points located in the human body. By striking these, she was able to disrupt an individual's chi flow and temporarily paralyze them, thereby also preventing the victim from bending for a period of time.

    Ty Lee becoming a Kyoshi Warrior at the end of the Series was definitely one of the finest moments of the Last Airbender Anime. And of course in the comics she became a great member of Team Avatar.
