I think Amon could have learning his technique from traveling to the spirit world particular the Realm of Koh. Amon appears to be able to contain his emotions very well so there is a chance he could face Koh and survive. Then again he could have learn from the Lion turtle (are there more then one?)

"In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements, but the energy within ourselves ..." "…To bend another's energy, your own spirit must be unbendable. Or you will be corrupted, and destroyed..."

If what the Lion turtle said is true, Amon could be born a non-bender but learn (through sheer will and determination) to master his own energy. His chi-blocking could serve as a foundation for him to develop energy bending on his own. This can be very plausible since in the world Avatar, men learn bending from the spirits/animals. Also bending seems to be genetic as well, therefore Amon could possible have a recessive/latent bending gene that he was able to tap into. Man there are so many possibilities. Interested to see how this story and character plays out.

PS: Amon reminds me of Slade aka Deathstroke from (Teen Titans), both are badarse imo!
