I just love that Toph has so many blind jokes. It's what makes her character way more realistic than a lot of other characters with disabilities in media. I also love her talk with Iroh. It's when did the seed for a lot of positive change for me when I was a teen. I had a lot of trouble asking for help, and I felt weak whenever I need it, but Iroh tell me that it's OK to ask for help. Although, I do still hate when people insist on helping me, even when I don't need it, and I'm polite about denying their assistance. People be annoying sometimes.

I mean, there are, because we do you do stupid shit, and it is funny, but I do appreciate that they don't make Toph the butt of the ALL the time. That's unrealistic. I'm going to mount of my blind jokes at my friends and family are at their expense. For example, I always make fun of them for not being able to get around their own houses without light, or when they can't see something that most people would think obvious, stupif shit like that. Toph isn't perfect, for example, I wish that they'd had a little more of life skills and things like that shown, but, for 2005, this is the best I got, and I'm still happy when it 17 years later.

Toph'a style of Earthbending is called the Mantis style and it was created by a blind woman. She's the only Earthbender to use this style. The creators had a martial artist named Sifu Kisu that would demonstrate the moves and then they'd animate what he did.

@BGTitanAvatar Very true, Creators of ATLA wanted all Bending to be based on real world Martial Arts being the different schools of Chinese Kung Fu whether it was Water (Tai Chi), Air (Baguazhang) or Fire (Northern Shaolin). Toph's style is a form of the "Southern Praying Mantis" Kung Fu (emphasis on close quarter combat with short tight kicks & punches). All other Earthbenders practice "Hung Gar" Kung Fu (emphasis on a low grounded stance with strong punches & kicks as well as use of weapons) which is also a Southern Chinese Martial Art form which Chinese Folk Hero Wong Fei Hung was a Master of.

it's really interesting that you mentioned that. All the bending arts in the original series, have their movements based on real life martial arts. Earthbending being the Hung Gar style of Kung fu. But there's an exception, Toph. Her style, as you said, appears to be different. And it is. it's the Mantis Style of Kung fu, which is more precise. And it makes sense that it is Mantis Style, as it has connections to neutral jing(What Bumi mentioned). As to the reason why she has a different style than all other earthbenders....you'll have to see yourself. I don't consider it a huge spoiler but I won't say it.

Production background: I think all but definitely most of the fighting was planned out in real life beforehand. Every nation has their own style of fighting derived from an actual martial art. Sifu Kisu was the fight consultant on the show and he is awesome. Even some of the smaller stuff that Momo and random characters do were done by the production team. The Boulder was voiced by Mick Foley channeling Randy Savage. Also, my first time was on a bus as well.

I want to defend the name "The Blind Bandit" as it's probably a name Toph herself came up with when she was younger and thought it sounded cool which makes it perfectly excusable, or the Earthbending matches promoter thought the same for the same reason. Either way she comes and she goes, no one really knows who "The Blind Bandit" is, she is completely shrouded in mystery, much like The Undertaker was (not in terms of kayfabe) back in the 90s. Moreover, nobody knows that the Beifongs even have a daughter, so no one can associate that with a mysterious little girl who wins Earthbending matches, which Toph must have used to her advantage.

I still stand by that this show kicked into gear with either the season 1 finale or the introduction of Azula. Season 2: Ep1 Gave us Azula and revealed the importance and dangers of the AS. Not slow. Ep2. I'll give you this one. Was pretty slow but still decent if you care about romance on this show. Ep3. Azula gets her crew together, we see the firenation progressing further in the war, we see Bumi again. Awesome fight scenes. Not slow. Ep4. Important episode for spirituality. Sets up Tophs debut. We learn more about Katara and Sokka. Badass fight scenes at the end. Not slow. Ep5. The Kyoshi scene alone is enough to carry this episode despite the rest of it being slow. Kyoshi is just that boss. It shows that there are good and bad people on both sides too. Of course this is all my opinion.

There is a man who is a martial artist master of all the forms that the bending is based off of, who can do all of the four bending styles in the intro. They are based off of northern shoulin kung fu, tai chi, bagwa, and hun gar. Fun fact, the boulder, was original idea for the avatars earth bending teacher. They decided to go with toph instead, and make sokka more o a comic relief but alo a strategist instead of the boulder. the earthbender int he intro is the concept for the boulders character.

ok so some of it was an assumtpion, since we never actually got to the development stage, but youc an asume i think pretty safely that the MAIN earthebder in this show if it was latr inspired to be the boulder, would have ben aangs airbending teacher. i mean, its liek if they had a firebender walking around with them as a main character who ISNT teaching him firebending? they never disclosed what the concept art that would later become the boulder and changed to toph would actually DO int he show. so i put 2 and 2 together.

The reason Toph's earthbending looks different is because her earthbending is based on Southern Praying Mantis, whereas earthbending in general is based off of Hung Gar (which is a mix of Crane and I think Tiger?)

For the choreography in this episode (and pretty much all the rest of the episodes to be honest), the creators consulted a martial arts master in different forms of martial arts. All the bending in this show is based off different forms of martial arts. Shaolin is fire bending, Ba Gua is airbending, Hung Gar is earthbending, and Tai Chi is waterbending. I believe there's a video on KZfaq somewhere that's on the creation of the show that has the creators talking and practicing the forms of martial arts.

Fun fact:The benders in the opening sequence of the show are the people who the creators originally planned to have as aang's bending teachers, but they changed their minds at some point during the production of the series. So toph was originally written as an adult man.

For me it's so funny hearing you guys discuss how it is to be blind, because my mom is hard of seeing (if that's how you say it ;)) and slowly turning blind. because of that I know quite alot about blindness and a lot of people who are either blind or hard of seeing. My mom also works as a guide in a museum (called the muSEEum; in Dutch muZIEum) where you can get a tour in the complete dark to experience how it is to be blind for a while and you can ask anything you want to now about blindness etc to the guides who are either blind or hard of seeing. It's a great experience if there's something like that in America (sorry if my english is not perfect, I'm Dutch so ;))

The directional hearing would probably kick in pretty quickly, if not right away. Even if you haven't had that capability, I think your brain would understand the two different signals for each ear. I know with my daughter when she was a young baby, she was able to immediately pick up a sound, like a creak in the ceiling, and immediately look right to where the sound was, even at only a couple months old. Also, your description of how you hear directionally by moving your ear is probably similar to how a person would perceive depth if they only have 1 eye, by moving their head and noticing the difference from different angles and figuring it out.

Fun fact: the "BOULDER" was the original design for the earthbending master Aang would encounter. (The earthbender hinted at in the intro). They redesigned him as the story went on and ended up creating the Toph we know instead. Best redesign decision EVER. So YES, you were right! The intro was intended to hint at the masters we would meet.

In Vienna, there is this thing called "Dialog im Dunkeln" ("dialogue in the dark") where you go down into the sewers and are guided by a blind person. It's pitch black down there, it doesn't matter if you keep your eyes open or not. We went to a park, a grocery shop and took a trip on a boat in the end. I could, of course, imagine what these things might look like, but since I've never actually seen them, I have absolutely no idea if the image in my mind is accurate or not.
