I don't think Amon is an energybender. The creators specifically said that only the Lion Turtle and Avatars have the ability. I'm sure they might introduce a new technique that has been discovered which would be why Amon is demonstrating it to the crowd. Besides if he is a bender than it only tells the audience that benders are powerful. It would be more likely that Amon is telling the crowd that "Look, I'm a nonbender and I can take out this guy he doesn't stand a chance." This would be more interesting. The technique could also resemble energybending but instead be more about blocking the chi in a more lasting way not simply bending it away.

Another thing, I haven't seen anyone talk about the short clip in one of the trailers of a group of 4 people practicing what looks like chi-blocking and then a huge wave floods their practice. This interests me and yet no one mentions it.
