"I'm just an ordinary guy who wants to protect the people around him. Lost a lot of things when I was younger and so I don't want it ot happen again. As for taijutsu I always enjoyed using my hands and legs to fight and often when my opponents permit do so. I want to learn taijutsu so I can augment my punches and kicks without needing to boost them with a chakra nature and to complete my knowledge of basic combat styles.""Hmmm... you're Keji? Ok. Seems you're my new student. Welcome to Taijutsu training!"
He plopped down on the grass, sitting cross legged.
"Tell me a little about yourself as a ninja, and why you want to learn how to kick and punch in a fancy way!"
"Unlike other combat styles taijutsu doesn't focus on elemental, weapon, or illusion attacks; but focuses more on the use of ones own body. Free form taijutsu doesn't require chakra to use but can come up short when facing chakra based attacks. Chakra enhanced tai is in some way more efficient then nin or gen as it takes little to know time to use a move and instead of weaving hand seals most moves are easily transitioned into by simple poses and slight body movements. I one wishes they caa use taijutsu to conserve chakra or combine it with nin jutsu to create devestating attacks and defenses."Nodding, Souji continued after Keji was done talking.
"Alright. What can you tell me about Taijutsu, and how it differs from other combat styles? Think about its essence and what you need to do to perform it."
"Off the top of my head I can name two and a potential third. There is the Hyuga clans Gentle Fist, the Kaguya clans nintai, and possible the Hidden Leafs Eight Inner Gates technique.""Good... good. Yes, Taijutsu in its simplest form is dependent on your physical attributes rather than your chakra reserves. However, there are some styles of taijutsu that do indeed utilize chakra to enhance their capabilities. Can you think of some specific ones?
"Use their second KKG ability to release chakra through tenketsu's, because of this and their byakugan gentle fist was created. It utilizes their abilities to directly inject chakra into their opponents allowing them to either shut off/turn on chakra points while simultaneously damaging internal organs around the area they strike. EIG on the other hand focuses on releases the users natural chakra limiters or gates. With each gate released the user enhances their body with chakra making them faster and stronger than before but the user must be in the best physical condition possible as the chakra enhancement take a heavy toll on the users body; in fact the eight gate results in the users death.""Ok, then let's compare Gentle Fist and the Eight Inner Gates. I guess you can say they're two nearly opposite styles in terms of their execution. Gentle Fist is... gentle and uses light, elegant motions to deliver precise strikes. Eight Inner Gates is brute force with powerful, singular strikes. But tell me, Keji... how does each use chakra to enhance their style, and what does using chakra allow each style to do? Let me know what you think, based on your experience and knowledge."
"That's a tough question sensei. As a inspiring tai specialist I would like to learn both... but if I had to choose one..." Keji crosses his arms and places one hand on his chin to think. "If I had to choose one it would be Gentle Fist. My reasoning for this is the fluidity of the movements combined with the pin point accuracy of the strikes are a work of art; not to mention the damage caused by Gentle Fist and control you have over your opponent. Don't get me wrong EIG has some devastating power and speed but the draw back and toll it puts on your body seem to hefty a price if given the option to use one or the other. If I was able to learn both I would only use the EIG as a last resort.""Now... which one do you prefer, and why? I just want to get an idea."
Keji grinned to hear his sensei was pleased. With that Keji proceed to take his most comfortable stance. Arms up hands slightly opened facing outward, head placed slightly ducked behind his forearms, legs are shoulder width apart with the left leg slightly forward and bent to where his toes on that foot were barely touching the ground.Souji grinned.
"I like that. I usually ask this question because it gives me an idea of what type of taijutsu fighter you might grow to become. Gentle Fist answers are more maneuverable and elegant, while EIG answers have students that are more aggressive and straightforward."
"Of course, that's not to say you'll grow to have different preferences. I encourage you to learn as much as you can to find what suits you."
Clapping his hands together once, he took a deep breath.
"Let's get started! Show me your favorite stance. Something that's both comfortable and ready for everything!"
(Sennen Goroshi) - 1000 Years Of Death
Rank:E
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:5(apply damage cost for kunai and explosives separately if either or both are used with this jutsu)
Description:The user makes the sign of the tiger and force able punches it into the enemy's behind.
Hearing what his sensei just said Keji gives a weird face(Nice. Doing martial arts IRL is a plus, so it looks like I won't have to teach you much for stances, etc.! xd one thing with your description... just make sure you indicate which hand is closer to your face [which arm is further out?]; if they're equidistant, indicate as such. But besides that, I'm looking forward to what you can do!)
Seeing how serious his student was taking this, Souji formed a familiar handseal, forming a set of Shadow Clones.
"Nice stance, Keji! You look like you have a good amount of experience. So... I'll just be observing your performances and maybe giving you tips depending if you need them."
"For this training, I'll be describing each technique rather simply, and it's up to you to practice them to the best of your ability."
"Our first jutsu is arguably the most powerful in history... form the Tiger handseal with your hands, and jab the pointed part of the sustained handseal into the behind of one of my clones here. Ha!"
(Gangeki) - Rock Attack
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will strike their opponent with a strong punch to the chest
(Dainamikku Entori) - Dynamic Entry
Rank: D
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:20
Description:A taijutsu attack were the user does a jumping kick into the opponents face.
As the clone turns to look back at the original takes a orthodox boxers stance. The moment the clone begins to turn back Keji takes a single half step forward with his left leg and begins turning his hips as his right leg begins to pivot producing power from his foot to his calf to his thigh to his hips. As his hips turn so does his torso whining the muscles causing them to tense until all that built up force is released through his fist as his shoulders turn launching his arm and fist into the clones solar plexus. As the clone begins to spit blood Keji uses his forward momentum to switch position of his legs putting his right forward and his left back. He proceeds to jump off his right leg while snapping his left leg forward by turning his hip and swinging his left arm back. This brings his left shin flying across the clones right ear rupturing it's ear drum and knocking it unconscious. Landing back on the ground Keji speaks "I hope those aren't shadow clones... oh Dynamic entry. Sorry I don't speak much when preforming moves."(There's never a problem with too much detail. I liked how you subdued him first, then poked his butt! Excellent work xd)
Souji rubbed his butt as the clone disappeared. Did he feel it too?
"Whew- good job, Keji! That was a nice warm up."
"Taijutsu focuses on the chaining of multiple attacks to make combinations. I want you to try putting two together; a kick to the face, and a punch to the chest! They can be in any order you'd like, and whatever way that makes sense. Don't forget to scream 'DAINAMIKKU ENTORI!' when performing the kick! My second clone is ready for you. I hope."
The second clone shot the original a look of pure death.
(Konoha Reppū) - Leaf Gale
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points:20
Description: This technique is a good example of how even simple taijutsu can become a pre-eminently destructive, lethal technique. The attack is a simple rear spinning low kick, but a strong enough user can send a large adult flying as if they weighed nothing. The goal is to throw the enemy off balance, and deal damage to the lower half of their body.
(Konoha Senpū) - Leaf Hurricane
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 20
Description: A taijutsu where one launches a succession of high kicks and low kicks. Firstly, the opponent's evasion margin is restrained upon seeing the high kick, thus augmenting the chances for the low kick to hit the mark connecting to the rib cage area. So originally the high kick is little more than a feint.
