I even provided a sample of what would be appropriate that could be copied and pasted. Your friend isn't even a special case, I've asked several people to flesh out skills or powers and nobody has had an issue with what I find is a pretty standard and simple request from a GM's point of view. 'Hand to hand' could be from military training, a life time of Kung Fu or boxing once a week at the local gym for a half a year and then getting bored.
