It was never fully explained how, despite him being a great water bender and
blood bender, how was Amon able to remove someone's bending?

That ability was reserved, up until then, to energy bending, which only Avatar
Aang could use.

What kind of technique did Amon use?

How is Amon able to revoke someone's bending?


As per this [link](http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Bloodbending) Bloodbending has
a lot of potential to be used in specific ways. One of the effects is Bending
severing :
