Amon is Bumi, Aang's other son! It does make sense if you think about it, and plus, The Legend of Korra is a very dramatic show. It wouldn't be as exciting or dramatic if he was a new character that had no ties to the previous series. First off, being born as the only non-bender of the family must have been tough on him. He could have possibly been jealous. Secondly, having the Avatar as your parent, but not being a bender, he could have possibly been bullied, especialy by benders. Since Aang learned energy bending -from the Lion Turtle-, I think he would have taught it to his kids. One of the abilities that comes with energy bending is the transfer of knowledge, so Aang could have transfered the knowledge of energy bending to Bumi. Just because Bumi is a non-bender -meaning he can't bend the four elements-, doesn't mean that he couldn't have been able to energy bend. It would explain how Amon can take other people's bending away, and resist blood-bending. (I would asume energy benders can resist blood-bending). Also, Sokka is Bumi's uncle. Sokka most likely married Suki, who was a member of the Kyoshi Warriors. At the end of The Last Airbender, Ty Lee joined the Kyoshi Warriors, and taught them chi blocking. So I would think "Aunt Suki" would teach her kids, nephews (Tenzin and Bumi), and niece (Kya) chi blocking.
