You could be right; I agree, it is frustratingly hard to tell. I have a theory that chi blocking involves a subconcious use of energy bending (provided that the bloodline for ancient energy bending was spread around and diluted enough so that practically everyone has some small, latent, affinity for it) so maybe Amon just happenes to be a stronger energy bender than most.

Or it could be some sort of psychological thing. I think several people have already brought up the idea that Amon could be blocking a person's chi by activating the part of their head for anxiety... Their explanation sounded a lot better.

And then again, Amon could be temporaraly taking bending away and then useing hypnosis to make them think that they had lost their bending. I don't think anyone's come up with that theory yet. :)

My point is, with the amount of information the show has given us, it could be anything. Momo could have taught him energy bending for all we know. After all, Momo was with Aang when the giant lion turtle taught him. :P
