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.
