Who'd benefit most from undergoing extensive taijutsu training?

[Guardian of the Rain]

Shikamaru/Nara clan? His second-to-none strategic mind plus his various Shadow techniques makes him very formidable. Imagine how OP he'd be if he was able to aggressively attack his opponent with Shadow Stitches/Needles whilst having the speed and agility of Lee.

Gaara? I don't recall him ever throwing a punch, but imagine if he trained to become a Taijutsu master. He'd be able to attack his opponent from all directions using punches, kicks, and his sand simultaneously

Or Shino/Aburame clan? Simultaneous Taijutsu and insect combos

Or Choji/Akimichi clan? Imagine Guy/Lee-level Taijutsu whilst utilizing size-enhancing techniques

Or Ino/Yamanaka clan? Simultaneous Taijutsu and mind-control techniques

Other?

sakura and hinata

I'm referring to those who pretty much never use Taijutsu. Those two definitely do a lot of punching and kicking
Edit: well, I include the Akimichi clan because they just throw haymakers, which doesn't require much skill

oh ok then. lawd choji it is

 

[LuckyMan]

People who already built for excellence in Taijutsu. like Choji.

 

[TheUnbiasedOne]

Chouji, Gaara, or Sakura.

Chouji would be a beast if he had any form of speed or skill.
Gaara's biggest shortcoming is his reliance on sand. If he could have Hebi Sasuke level Taijutsu, he becomes Minato level.

Sakura would actually be worthy of her spot if she had any form of high level speed. She would essentially be the hulk.

 

[Nick01]

Gaara, Shikamaru, and Choji.

 

[Guardian of the Rain]

Gaara would definitely

Agreed. He'd be a pain in the a$$. His opponent would dodge his Taijutsu only to accidentally backup into his sand

lol Kakashi, Minato, Sasuke, Itachi, Jiraiya, Madara, and Nagato excluded though

Yeah, but the Akimichi clan would lack external sources of offense like sand, shadows, and insects to attack opponents from different angles. An opponent would only have to keep their eyes on the Akimichi, which would make fighting one rather easy

Chouji, Gaara, or Sakura.

Sakura would be damn formidable if she was fast enough to blitz her enemies. When she was finished being trained by Tsunade, she should've sought training from Guy next. Guess she wasn't that serious about catching up to Naruto and Sasuke

 

[Warlocks]

Gaara, Shikamaru

 

[The Great Second Hokage]

I'd say shino...we've seen very little from him and his techniques and with his intellect I feel he would benefit greatly and become an overall solid fighter.

 

[The Demon Hawk]

Chouji, Gaara, or Sakura.

Chouji would be a beast if he had any form of speed or skill.
Gaara's biggest shortcoming is his reliance on sand. If he could have Hebi Sasuke level Taijutsu, he becomes Minato level.

This, pretty much.
