He did counter that gangster's bloodbending in the avatar state. Granted, 12 year old aang never pulled it off.
You're engaging in pure speculation here. There's no solid evidence that Aang or any Avatar knew the art. Until such evidence is given, it won't be counted as a part of his powerset.
Unless you want Mako to be a bloodbender as well.
Watch the fight again. Mako resisted it which is why he was able to use Lightning in the first place, and Amon outright states as such.
He resisted it, much like Amon did against Tarlokk, but obviously to a lesser degree.
So again, Mako obviously knows bloodbending right? After all, anyone who can resist bloodbending must know basic bloodbending.

Bloodbending doesn't seem to work on the little stuff like your eyes, mouth, organs. Amon just wasn't micromanaging his fingers.Tarlokk was obviously counter bended by amon.
Yes, and anyone who resists bloodbending can bloodbend. So Mako knows bloodbending, or your theory about only bloodbenders being able to resist just got a one way ticket to debunk-ville.

Mako has latent bloodbending abilities guys. Not that hard to figure out.
How else could he get two hot chicks to fall for him at the same time? True Psychic Bloodbending.
Quit flip-flopping.
No, Amon never forgot to lock his fingers. Otherwise, Amon would have stated that it was his mistake, not that Mako got the better of him.
So, as per your theory about only those who know bloodbending being able to resist bloodbending, Avatar State Aang is a Bloodbender. As is a non-Waterbending Korra, and a Firebending Mako.

I don't see how you can compare how Aang countered bloodbending to how Mako did. Aang cancelled it out; Mako briefly muscled past it.
I don't have to compare them to see that Bloodbending isn't a requirement for overcoming Bloodbending.
Does the Avatar know Bloodbending? Possibly. Given its nature, the Avatar would have likely decided not to use it had he/she/it discovered it.
There's not enough evidence to tell. As it stands though, Hama discovered it, and only she, Katara, Yakone, Amon & Tarlokk knew how to use it.

I love how Amon's bloodbending is supposed to be superior to Tarrlok's but Amon couldn't stop two teenagers from overcoming him. The same two teenagers Tarrlok casually restrained.I hate bloodbending.
Tarlokk was able to kill a peak level Amon while he was powerless. vin
Get over yourself. sneer
While Demonic Phoenix and I almost never see eye to eye, I have to go with him on this one. Saying Aang knows blood bending because he resisted it is retarded. Why not just say that Guy and Kakashi know Tsukiyomi because they resisted it? Or that Frieza knows spirit bomb because he resisted it? Or that Ichigo can use Senbonzakura Kageyoshi because he resisted it? Or that Gohan and Krillin can stop time because they beat Guldo? Just because someone beats another person doesn't mean they get their powers and abilities. This isn't Highlander. The quickening doesn't apply to Aang. Ichigo is over mach 500 and can destroy mountains with a swing of his sword. He wins. Period.
