Actually, I beg to differ on that one.

Yakone was considered unique in the show for his capability to use bloodbending at all times which was never seen before on any other bloodbender until he lost his ability to bloodbend after his fight with Aang.

He managed to teach his kids (who were just regular waterbenders) how to do the very same thing as he once did despite having no bloodbending capabilities left and how to do it at any time which is still never before seen on anyone else.

You can argue that Toph is a user of Meta-Teaching as she did accomplish something "impossible" at the time but metalbending became so common after so many teachers appeared to be capable of teaching it.

Metalbending isn't for everyone since we've seen Bolin fail to metalbend but learning to lavabend, so I wouldn't really call it (or bloodbending) a "high-level skill" but rather right person for right skill with possibly the right teacher.

Korra is just a rulebreaker as the Avatar so I wouldn't want to consider her capabilities on the same level as that of regular benders.
