Amon is an energybender. That is why he is able to take away people's bending abilities. Remember when Aang went to the lion turtle? The lion turtle said to Aang that the first form of bending is spirit bending/ energy bending. The lion turtle taught Aang how to energy bend. Amon could have learned the same way.

The fact that Amon resisted, slightly, to Tarrlok's bloodbending suggests that he may not be entirely human. Given that he wears a mask due to a firebender scarring his face, Amon could, as some other readers have suggested, be part machine. If that is true, then Amon's slight resistance could be due to the fact that he does not have blood flowing throughout his enitre body. His legs could move because they could be false legs. He did struggle though because he was shaking meaning that he is human.
