His testimony makes me wonder just what people don't know from the original Team Avatar's travels. I certainly imagine that bloodbending, for example, was left to die. The only people who knew were Hama, Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, and the firebender Katara used bloodbending on. Hama was arrested, I doubt Katara would ever use it after the two times she had to use it, and no one else could instruct any other benders besides Hama and Katara so it was left behind.

Same could be said for chakras. Guru Pathik taught Aang about them, and I don't really recall anyone other than him and again Team Avatar discussing them, except perhaps Iroh. Korra is not that spiritual, so odds are she probably doesn't know about them. And fear, shame, guilt, and the other feelings that block the chakras are most likely felt by someone who has had their bending stripped by Amon. Though Pathik mentioned it about the Avatar State, it may apply to benders as well, since Amon is putting his hand on the light chakra. Just a thought.
