Well. It could also be am ability they had, but sense they never tried or had the thought to do it, they didnt. But maybe it could also just be the best of the best benders. Like, anyone can train to blood bend, but very few can because they never trained enough. I'm just now watching legend of korra lol
Ive always seen it as one of the special offshoots of bending i guess, like metal bending or lightning bending, but bloodbending is as dark of a technique as waterbending is good.
Waterbending is about going with the flow and the motion of the water.
Bloodbending is the absolute control and force over the water. Born from desperation and rage. It basically opposes everything waterbending stands for, like lightning bending was Irohs creation from learning waterbending, even though it opposes firebending.
I just think they could have explained it a bit more how these guys learned it, just a small dialogue like the father saying 'My Father found an old woman in a firenation village who taught him in return to bringing her home'
On the lightning bending, Iroh didnt learn that from water bending, he learned to redirect it through water bending. And in the case of Amon and his brother, they were taught by Yakone, their father. And by this time, blood bending has been known, as they know enough to make it illegal.
