That is only valid if Amon is an 'energybender', but such a thing has not been confirmed. Amon's method of taking away a person's bending is quite different from Aang's. To be completely honest, I am not convinced that Amon is energybending, I think - as many others have stated - that Amon is simply chi blocking. As evidence there is the way he takes away someone's bending, the placement of his hands, most notably the hand that is placed on the base of the skull (the Amon pressure point), and his very name, Amon. I do not think he was given that name for no reason.

In the finale where we see Amon about to remove Korra's bending it is possible that she, finally, enters the Avatar state and manages to escape his grasp.
