My theory on bloodbending without the moon is simple. Hama created the technique when she was in prison where they barely kept her alive so she was very weak and fragile. So when the night of the full moon came around the only sense of energy/enrichment she felt was from the Moon as she stated she could feel herself get stronger. After she discovered bloodbending she only used it to escape from prison and later when she was elderly to get revenge on the Fire Nation. Katara being kind hearted only used the art twice in her life so of course she wouldn't know the full potentional. So years later when Yakone learned of it he must have trained himself to and eventually perfected the art.
