Why does No Byakugan = No Gentle fist? It's a Martial art. I agree, Tenketsu Strikes definitely need it but do all the moves? Soft martial arts exist in our world without the Byakugan.

Why can't he use the Air Palm? What about that move requires the Byakugan? Palm Rotation is in that category as well. Twin Lion Fists, Protection of the 8 Trigrams. All moves that would still be effective without the Byakugan. Not to mention there's no reason he couldn't learn basic Taijutsu from his mom he just uses her body language as opposed to his father's. He could have gotten her Chakra Control and flexiblity which would make Gentle Fist light a good skill set to learn.

All that said be might not have Byakugan or Wind release. He could have just been thrusting really really hard.
