| Taijutsu (体術, Literally meaning: Body Techniques) is a basic form of techniques and refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimisation of natural human abilities. Taijutsu is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies, relying on the stamina and strength gained through training. It typically does not require chakra, though chakra may be used to enhance its techniques. Taijutsu generally requires no hand seals to perform, occasionally making use of certain stances or poses, and are far quicker to use than ninjutsu or genjutsu. Taijutsu is simply put: hand-to-hand combat. |

I go by stages that I believe are important, I teach as if I'm preparing you for an EIG test, essentially making you a complete master.
Description
Momentum, logic, and physics
Positioning, stances, and Limitations
How to use terrain, vision, awarness
Time-Frame
Actual performances
Upper-body (punches, elbow smashes, shoulder thrusts, etc)
Lower-body (Kicks, Knee thrusts, Roundhouses, etc)
Combination (Self explanatory, all of the body parts combined)
Weaponry usages within Taijutsu
We will start off with description.
Any questions before we move on? Concerns?

Lets get you over with the description.
Well alright then z.z lets knock these bad boys out.
Description, the key of all taijutsu in my opinion. If you are unable to describe your moves right, you can be taken advantage of, and even make silly errors that results in death/losing the fight. The importance is so high that you can actually fail tests with it. Imagine having to block a kick from the right side of your head, but accidentally said "raise my arm to block the kick from the left side of my head", that is in many cases a fail, or a lose. So it is very important.
However, you do not need to be extreme with it, I've seen people make wallies to describe a simple punch, that isn't needed unless you are just bored and want to do that, or just have an extreme passion for it. Either or, it makes no serious difference, as long as you get the basic stuff out the way 90% of the time you will be no different to a wallie.
Questions to ask yourself?
What limb am I using?
What direction is my limb moving in?
Where am I aiming?
What will be the outcome if contact is made against my opponent?
What are my other body parts doing to aid in my movement?
These might be simple things to describe it, the absolute basic questions, and it works for 80-90% of fights. Some advance stuff you can add on is...
What body parts are left open? How am I vulnerable in such an attack? Where am I looking at? What am I perceiving and trying to accomplish in the grand scheme of things? What can I expect my opponents counter be depending on such attacks?
I think all of these can be added in short, concise ways.
Lets take the simple punch. I want you to punch my clone. Describe it in with these questions in mind. It shouldn't be that long of a description, at the same time, it shouldn't be so closed out it seems like you were lazy.

Watching the dummy stare at him, he takes his steps toward it. Breathing in before channeling his strength from his feet upwards through his body from his horse stand. Releasing his punch 60 degrees toward the straw dummy. Upon contact he breathes out oxygen and feels the pressure leave his legs as he pulls back his feet into the stand horse stance, he feels light. "Quite the fun thing to do, am sure my stance is elementary..."

With the stance I'd chosen, not much options I'd give the enemy to choose from. None that one can't counter.

If I lose balance then I'd be in a more vulnerable state.

Toward, the focus isn't on my move but rather on the action taken afterwards.

To land the solid power punch.

Too much wrong with this. What arm did you use? What type of punch did you do? What was the whole 60 degrees about? Where did you aim on the dummy? What would be the effect after hitting the dummy at that specific spot? Too much holes all over the place.
We won't move to the advance part of the description if you can't even do the basic stuff first, and a lot of that was rather simple stuff you missed.
Re-do
Once more, Ikiru takes his punch toward the clone. His karate punch is quite simple and smacks the clone's left side chick. With his left hand pulling back from the impact his foot switches in pulling him back without loss of balance. The clone poofs away after his fast delivered punch.
What body parts are left open?
The arm, legs all most always many possible entries of counter can be formulated from an attack as a Punch.
How am I vulnerable in such an attack? In many ways possible. I.e, breaking of the arm that is extended outward toward the enemy for instance.
Where am I looking at? At the enemy and anything in sight range.
What am I perceiving and trying to accomplish in the grand scheme of things?To either gain space or rather leverage.
What can I expect my opponents counter be depending on such attacks?In simple terms, they counter by blocking the punch with their hand.

His karate punch is quite simple and smacks the clone's left side chick throwing it off balance. Exposing his inner side ribs under his arm which gives counters to his attack to either misdirect the punch or straight take the air out of him by kicking his stomach.

Well then alright, what are the possible movements your joints can execute? Flexion and extension. This is very important.
Flexing- Think of pulling the hand of your arm back to your shoulder.
Extension- Think of pushing the hand of your arm forward and down, away from your shoulder.
This can effectively be used on almost any joint. These two movements allow for every movement to be executed. I want you to describe extending and flexing each of the major joints we use when fighting.
Knees, ankles, hip, and elbow.
How might you extend, and flex these joints in such a way you get into the right position to perform an attack? How you want to position yourself to perform these actions are up to you, but standing is recommended.

TBH, I'm confused looking at this...like ok...
Sitting down, "Eh...you might extend then flex the joints...as you always do when you move. The footing and back spine that supports your balance is key and the position you take to punch someone should be well balanced in a fashion similar to a horse stance. Lunching the punch should be firm as you breath out when it makes contact with a subject." he looks at his sensei with confusion.
....dear..god.
Don't use flexing or extension as the exact words in your description, it isn't always needed (but it is used a lot).
Let's start with just the leg first.
Notice how the hip "flexes" or in easier terms picks itself up. By doing so you create a leverage to deliver a kick. Notice now the knee and how it is "extending" or in easier terms push/place the joint in a specific position. Back to the image, this allows for power to be generated and the leg reach to make contact with the opponent.
Now this is simple and the basis of your joints to move properly. Now, do you get it? The concept of flexion and extension as the basis of your joints to move and attack?

^^I finally got it after so many rereads.
"I got it!" Ikiru stands quickly, "...all I have to do is not forget how to perform the moves" then as he takes his offensive stance he breathes in and out, rising his arms. He extends his left hand to his right and this action leaves his left flank exposed.
