Panthalassa tried to dress as light and comfortable as he could, figuring this would proceed similar to the kenjutsu training. He wrapped a few bandages around his fist and and around his forehead, to keep the sweat from dripping in his eyes.
I really enjoyed the way we did Kenjutsu, but I might be underestimating the length of the Taijutsu jutsu list. As always, I will follow your lead, Sensei.
Panthalassa was clearly not prepared, nor used to the sort of speed his Sensei displayed. When he went to put his guard up, Dean had already punched him in the chest, which pushed him back quite a lot.
Panthalassa brought his arms up, to protect his face from the flying kick, launching himself backwards to cushion the impact. When he returned back to his feet, he said.
For the first technique, am I allowed to do any sort of variant flying kick to the face using this technique, as in, can I use this with a straight kick, a spinning kick, a axe kick, etc etc?
). Anyway, you know what to do with these three techniques."
I'll never forget that you're asking me to give that level of detail when describing a Slap technique..."It allows freedom based on the situation, so I believe so. Reading the fights of the best Tai users will make you see how they use these simple techniques very effectively. Nonetheless, great job. If you could analyse all the techniques like that, we are cool. Here you go (The Jutsu you just learned)."
"Now, we'll be covering a few techniques (3) at a time. The first technique is simple, it starts off by dashing towards the opponent, and upon reaching him, you will deliver several high and low kicks. The high kick basically acts as a feign in order to restrict the opponent's evasion margin. This allows the low kick to actually connect, or have a higher chance of connecting, hitting the opponent in the rib cage, which cause simple blunt damage unless your kick is somehow enhanced by something.
After that is a technique, which can be used in different situations and is basically just free form, not sure why it falls under the normal technique list, but I digress. By using one of your hands, preferably the dominant one, you will deliver a punch by clenching your fist and swinging your arm towards the opponent. A simple punch, useful in a variety of instances.
Lastly, a technique which I would use for simple RP purposes, though it could also be used in battle. You will use your dominant hand, and perform an open hand slap. This can be used to hit the opponent, slap oncoming limbs and even re-direct weapons (according to the description, but that's sketchy tbh
I understand the first is meant to give freedom of choice in order to perform any sort of kick. It's in a way better than the first two punch and slap because, being focused on the feet, it allows the hands to be free for handseals. As for the second, it's a weird technique, more like a brawl move rather than something with a certain finesse that you would expect from a martial art, but I guess sometimes you just have to get down to the meat and gritty. You covered the disadvantage, I'll just had that, just with every contact technique, lightning sure is a weakeness. I was wondering if, because we are using chakra-less techniques, we'd be faster than ninjutsu, specially elemental ninjutsu, sort of like Iado? As in, if we're a certain distance and we use taijutsu, it's better for our opponent to reply with taijutsu instead of ninjutsu, or we'd interrupt him.
These are all palm attacks, they're quite funny and go along very well. Interesting choice sensei. My question would be, are these dry strikes or can I manipulate their descriptions a bit? As in, the first entails a downwards palm strike, but could I also use it to go into a handstand, and thus evade a technique, or is that going past the description, and thus, the handstand would essentially be freeform?
