I agree 100% with you Jinora, or at least I did. While the main topic is up for debate, I too have believed it was an advanced form of chi blocking. And there a many points here that are all true. And when Aang used energy bending on Ozai, it looked way different. But then we saw the flashbacks of the latest episode. Aang's technique to take Yakone's bending away was different from what he used on Ozai, or at least was different appearance wise. And later in the episode, Amon took Tarrlok's bending away using what visually appeared as the exact same method Aang used on Yakone. I wish I had a screenshot comparison or something, but sadly I don't. Still, it appeared to be the same technique.

So either it is energy bending after all, or Aang found out how to do this method instead of energybending so he would not put his life force at risk so easily. Or something like that, anyway. I do not know why they looked so similar, but it is likely they were the same technique. For the first time I am starting to doubt that it is an advanced form of chi blocking. I do not know if this is energybending or some other method. It still may be an advanced form of chi blocking, although I don't know why Aang would know it. But it is certainly wide open for discussion.
