I agree that Amon's probably doing something along the lines of advanced chi-blocking to take away bending.

In my personal head-canon, he's blocking the chakras so chi can no longer flow at all, getting rid of a person's bending. That way, if the person finds a way to unlock all the chakras, they can regain their bending. But like we saw with Aang, that's very challenging.
