I wholly believe his knowledge came from his youth; as the Air Nomads were a very nomadic culture. We even see that he had friends in the Fire Nation - such as Suzon. Heck; his adventures even led him straight up to a Dragon and it's egg.

Trust me. This guy got around as a kid. ^^" And another thing; we never saw a time that being in the Avatar State actually taught Aang anything as far as bending is concerned. He simply was able to use it as a defensive reaction, and then it was gone. Otherwise he would have never needed to seek out further instruction. Also recall that he mastered airbending at an early age; and thus is why he had his airbending arrow tatoos given to him.
