I don't think Hagoromo gave Asura Wood Release, it's a kekkei genkai. Hagoromo just gave Asura Six Paths Senjutsu. Asura probably already had genes for Wood Release, he just was totally untalented to use chakra properly to use Wood Release. Six Paths Senjutsu gives one knowledge over chakra, so after that he just figured it out instantly how he can use a power that he already had.
