    When I had a similar question, I was directed to the below??thread which has been going for awhile and has alot of good info in it. My level does not allow me to do links so I had to cut & paste the subject and web address (sorry).

    The Waterbenders studied the tides movements controlled by the moon and learned how to Waterbend from there. Oma and Shu studied Earthbending from the Badgermoles and from them to Oma, others learned. The monks studied the Flying Bisons and learned how to Airbend themselves.

    HEY!?? I did not yell at you about reposting, you asked a question if there was another thread - I gave you the thread I myself was directed to when I also made an error of starting a new post without finding the "original"... I realized, hey its hard to find these things some times, so I gave it to you - then I even apologized because I couldn't give you a link to the thread I was referring to that has LOTS of information about the origin of air bending (afterall you could take the subject line and put it into the search engine)... so I think before you say "Guys enough with the yelling" read COMPLETE responses!?? (by the way - now I'm yelling and NOT because you double posted or as others would say asked something dumb BUT I'm yelling because you sure have a strange way of showing appreciation to someone answering your direct question)

    it is confirmed that the airbenders learned airbending from flying bisons. they even borrowed the arrow the bisons had for their tattoos. another reason your theory is incorrect is that there would be no first incarnation of the avatar if there was no airbending, so how could he have taught to them?

    Okay, here's all the info that has been given in the show so far: Airbenders: learned from Sky Bisons Waternbenders: learned by watching how the moon pushes and pulls the water and copying it Earthbenders: learned from the Badgermoles Firebenders: no info has been given so far as to how Firebemders learned their Bending, however, it can be inferred that they might have noticed how the sun, and the light and energy it gives off, can be channeled into fire.
