TheWoWDBOnce you accept the quest from Instructor Xann, run back into The Practice Pit. There are some neutral mobs called "Training Bag". These are the mobs that you need to kill for the quest.
However, Instructor Xann will do emotes on screen with either "LEFT!" or "RIGHT!". When you see this, it is key that you are attacking the correct bag, as the other one will recieve a buff that allows it to absorb 99% of all incoming damage.
Essentially, you just need to switch when Xann calls for it, and the bags will die eventually.
EDIT: When I did this yesterday, the bags did need to be at full health. If you are not getting the quest complete text, start on a set of bags with 100% health.

I signed up for an account here just to post this, because I think I see what the problem is.
After doing this three times and not getting a quest complete indication, I read a post on the WoW forums that explains it.
2/3rds of the punching bag models are placed BACKWARDS in the environment, meaning you'd have to hit those in the opposite order for it to work. They have a front and a back to the model and it knows which bag you have to hit by the direction it's facing.
Make sure you are using the bags where the yellow circle on the top of the front post is facing you. If you don't see the yellow circle, that model is placed backwards and it won't work.
I'm sure this will be fixed at some point, but for now, that's the deal.
This quest is much easier than it looks. In all likelihood you are here on Wowhead because the quest didn't complete for you.
As of the latest beta patch before release, there is a small "bug" with this quest where you must be extremely close to the bags when you kill them. Additionally, killing the wrong target by accident (with leftover dots, or poor switching) will not give you credit.

Description
Your next test also involves concentration and attention. I want you to practice your abilities on the training bags in the pit below. The bags are hung in groups of two. When I call out "Left", attack the bag on the left. When I call out "Right", attack the bag on the right. If you fail to follow my simple directions, this task will become much harder. Now beat on those practice bags until they burst, {name}.

We don't have many rules here, but we do have one particular rule that is worth remembering. If you want to eat... <Xiao's stomach grumbles audibly.> ...you have to work. Groundskeeper Wu can give you your chores for the day. He's in the market, to the west.
