My theory is that the technique is just an application of the air ball that air avatars use to fly, and that is the last skill an airbender has to learn to become a manster and get their tatoos. Aang got his tatoos early because he "figured it out" to make the air scooter without instruction. So i dont think its rare for a monk to know it, just rare they would ever use it on a person (trapping evil spirits in trees doesnt count)
It makes sense that this technique would only be taught to a select few airbenders, as there is the possibility of it being abused the more airbenders that know it. Perhaps the airbenders would agree that there is a time when violence is necessary.
Thank you very much for this video and you're research 👍🏼
