Anyone who can't hold a fist must be an idiot. I agree that people have different energies and in certain drills people get confused about what the pattern is (ie they might palm strike rather than punch by accident).
But even to form a phoenix eye - when I was shown it I did it straight away. And I'm not exactly a quick learner.
If you were talking about forms, patterns or katas I could understand. they are hard to remember and can be hard to get the sequence right. Yet, to close a fist? How do they grip things in the real world?
If they are that stupid that they do not understand a basic concept such as close fist, thumb on top, then they shouldn't be doing martial arts. I have never had any student walk in to class and say that they couldn't close their fist properly
