If he was an energybender, probably. Point is that there have been 2 energybenders in the series so far, of which one an animal, and one a pacifist Avatar that doesn't have any USE for storing attacks.

Amon is a chiblocker, perhaps mentally or physically enhanced by the 'spirits' (alcoholic drinks are called spirits too, perhaps drugs also possible; the best lie is one with a base of truth!), and is unable to REALLY strip someone permanently.

Let me explain in analogies; Energybending is similar to either speeding up the growth of a limb (instant knowledge transfer) or amputating it altogether (bending nullification).

What Amon does cannot be the same, so to speak 'he doesn't have his doctor's license', and more or less that means he's unable to amputate that 'limb' - so what he does would either come down to an amateuristic amputation (with the limb being severed but the bone intact, or something alike), or paralysis (with the limb unable to be used) - and as you know, an amputated limb needs a prosthesis as replacement, but a severely wounded limb can still be repaired if done in time.
