Reposting this because thread was deleted for such a petty reason. I took the liberty of adding some more facts as to why Bolt cannot use this technique to it's full potential.Spoilers about the movie below.
I once said it was possible to use gentle fist without Byakugan to Hyuuga fans who liked to give Byakugan pointless abilities when comparing it to the sharigan. However, using gentle fist without byakugan is just fail and there is no logical way Bolt is using that ability effectively prodigy or not.
Before you guys start rioting just at the facts and what I have to say.
Gentle fist style is awesome. It's arguably the strongest taijutsu style.
However the inner coils is not at all visible.
Byakugan gives you sight that surpasses the 3t sharigan, that allows you see the inner coils in a persons chakra system.
The reason why Hyuugas are so effective with gentle fist is because of this ability. Using their knowledge and sight of the chakra system they know exactly where to strike and take down an opponents use of chakra.
Not even moves like air palm can be used effectively without pinpointing the pressure points.
If Bolt is using gentle fist and doesn't have the byakugan the technique loses it's effectiveness.He would have just been better off learning rock lees taijutsu or kenjutsu like Sasuke did.
I'm not bashing Bolt here but there is logically no way he can use gentle fist on the same level as Hinata/Neji and other Hyuuga members. This is strictly Kishi's fault for not thinking clearly when making Bolts arsenal.
even if boruto can't exactly see the
chakra pressure/opening points, all that's giving you the ability to, if the opening points are pressed correctly by pushing chakra into them, is the
control over stopping or increasing the opponent's chakra flow from these points...

Thus maximizing the effect/damage to the inner organs and to the inner coils of the body. even
by being able to target one of the enemy's vital spots, one can use the 8 trigrams air palm. although you
can't control the chakra's flow of the spot after hitting it, it would
still damage the inner organs in general where the oppenent was struck...

so i don't see what you're trying to prove here... with enough training and hyuga help, one can definitely learn gentle fist, it's only not possible for that person to apply that ability to completely stop the chakra flow or increase the chakra flow from each opening spot struck, since that's not possible without a byakugan, just by learning gentle fist and targeting a vital spot or multiple ones ( which are just the organ themselves instead of the opening points) one could still be incredibly effective, and would be a worthy jutsu to be able to use still.
