I agree! Bolin's technique is good for Pro-bending as well as Mako's but you can see that they transferred their techniques to their world fighting and so far it isn't doing so well.

Bolin throws earth like the earth disks and freaks out when his opponent gets close (in Probending you opponent never touches you)

Mako does short bursts of fire not like in the past where they do huge blasts (in Probending blasts are limited in duration)

They have never had any formal training so I think Korra might help them out a bit. Also, I think they will pick up some of Tenzin's teachings since airbending appears to be the most useful technique against the Equalists.

Something I noticed was that a lot of the benders don't move when they fight (Lightning Bolt Zolt). In the past series the benders where running about, flipping, jumping, and ducking. We see that Korra can do this but I think that she'll need to teach Bolin and Mako how to "Be the leaf" and fly about when they are fighting.
