Taijutsu training.

Last jutsu I performed was this:

(Shishi Rendan) - Lions Barrage
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points:15
Description: A variant technique of the Front Lotus, It is an ultra-fast combo attack that requires an advanced physical condition and a certain knack for it. The opponent is first kicked into the air and shadowed with the Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Upon inflicting a blow, one takes advantage of said opponent's counterattack to spin around and rise again for further assaults. Since the fall is increased in velocity with each blow, the damage when one is eventually struck to the ground is inconceivable. All variations end with the opponent being thrown to the ground and kicked in the chest.

Nearly six months ago! Do you mind if I start over?

Nope, I'm in no hurry.

Alright, excellent.
Explain to me why you want to learn Taijutsu and how you plan to use it in a battle.

Alright, excellent.
Explain to me why you want to learn Taijutsu and how you plan to use it in a battle.

Main reason is probably so I can master it and go for the sensei test, as one of the requirements is to have taijutsu mastered.
In battle I'll use it when I get into close quarters with my opponent, although I could simply describe the moves via freeform, it has a different feeling when you post the jutsus. lol

 

[Adachi]

Yes, you hit a good point.
Taijutsus force you to be very specific and detailed on what you do.

Actually, instead of me explaining it to you, let's have you do some exercise. Start by doing some push-ups...NOW! O_O
Explain why a warm-up is important before heavy training.

Push ups?! Shouldn't I at least stretch first? D:

*Stretches a little before I going down on to the ground and start doing push ups*

Erm, warm up is important so that you don't get cramps and so that your body doesn't ache after rigorous exercise. I guess doing a soft warm up can replace doing stretches lol.
Warm ups also increase circulation of blood so that it reaches your muscles faster. Yay for biology.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. ^_^ It also stimulates chakra flow, which is important because we will be using a bit of that in our Taijutsu lesson.

Okay, let's begin simple.
Begin with a running start and punch my clone in the chest.

Sounds simple enough. o-o

*I begin to run towards your newly created clone before reaching his location and thrusting out my right fist, aiming to punch your clone in his face*

 

[Adachi]

SIR, YOU ARE MISSING SO MANY DETAILS I AM ABOUT TO CRY.
I'll give you an example of my own Taijutsu post. ._.

Spoiler

Because you created your clone at mid range, I am allowed a running start. I dash to your clone, making sure to place down my dominant foot upon the ground before I strike you with my left fist in a 90 degree angle directly beneath your chin, immediately following up with my right fist onto the base of your sternum, to knock you into the air.
Due to the impact of the move, you are suspended momentarily in the air as I overtake you by charging chakra into my feet to jump higher than your current position. My eyes are focused upon your groin (actually, that is what is shown in the video), slamming you down onto the ground with my left fist.
I withdraw four large shurikens and pin your body down at all four corners, then I allow the wind and my chakra to rotate me in a 360 manner, slamming into you as I complete the move, causing you to react to centripetal force and take heavy damage as you spin away from me.

Now, try again. Pay attention to the details.

You said just punch, so I assumed we were starting off slow. xD
But still, apologies for my lazyness.

*As your clone comes into existence, he's at quite a distance, allowing me 3/4 meters of running space before reaching him. Taking advantage of this, I launch of towards him, aiming to attack him with full force. As I reach near his location, I bend my knees slightly and propel myself off of the ground at a slight angle so that I am launched towards him as if I were a bullet.

Using my speed, I'd go even further to do damage to him and thrust my right fist forwards, smashing it into his stomach, causing him to be temporarily winded and slightly bent forwards as a natural reaction from being struck so powerfully. Straight after my strike, I'd take a step back and as he's slightly bent forwards, I'd go for a low strike and take a quick step before attempting to do a back flip, however due to our close proximity, my right foot would smash against his face, causing your clone to knocked upwards, leaving him airborne for a couple of seconds before falling back to the ground again, injured.*

Slightly better, I hope.

 

[Adachi]

Yeah, I said punch because I wanted to see how you would respond to it. NO LAZINESS IN OUR TRAINING THREADS SON!

Much, much, much better. And the potential I expected to see from you, :|. MAKE THAT HORN PROUD! xD

(Gangeki) - Rock Attack
Rank: D
Type: Attack

The next one sounds simple, but yet, is not.
Begin with a running start, then execute a kick from the air onto my clone's face.

Being lazy is in my nature u-u

By kick I assume you mean super detailed assault on your clone! xD
Poor clone.

*As your clone has recovered from my earlier assault, I take a couple of steps back giving myself enough space to gain the appropriate speed and angle necessary for the mid-air kick I was asked to perform.
Once I've done this, I, as planned, run at full speed towards your clone before leaping off of my left foot, whilst reaching out with my right foot swinging it in mid air so that it's aimed to strike your clone on the left side of his cheek, dealing him damage due to the power and force of the kick.
Straight after the first kick, I carry on to swing my whole body so that I do a 360 spin in mid air and end up striking your clone on the same side, but this time with my left foot, causing him enough damage to be sent flying to his right side.*

 

[Adachi]

I do it on purpose so I can chastise people for their laziness. xD

Good job emphasizing on the 360 spin.
But now, explain to me the difference between a 360 and a 180 kick.

Shame on you! u-u

360 would involve the person spinning their whole body all the way around, allowing them to kick with both feet (should they wish to do so). 360 spin would involve doing a full circle, so if we begin by looking at each other, as in, face to face, doing a 360 will mean you see all angles of my head, and by the time I'm done with the spin, we'll be at the exact position we started off with.
A 180 kick is like doing half a circle with your body. So, if we -once again- start off by facing each other, and I use my right leg to perform the kick, it'd do a semi-circle, ending up with me facing the direction to my left, and you facing the right side of my head/face, considering you don't get hit by the kick.

[Adachi]

Very good, but let's say you were using both of these in battle.
How does the 360 and the 180 vary in both power and timing?

360 would be more powerful, seeing as how you're planning on doing a full spin, so you'd use more force/power/strength? Plus, you can hit the opponent twice, each leg striking the opponent once. Though, if the opponent dodges the first kick in a 360 kick, there is a chance they could do damage before the second leg gets a chance to hit, and since the opponent's vision is kinda turned away, they'd be easier target?
Going by what I've said so far, a 180 kick would be quicker, but somewhat weaker, since there is only one kick, but you'd have less chance of being caught out by your opponent since if the kick misses, you do something else straight away.

Excellent. Exactly what I was looking for. ~_~

Now, for this next move, my clone will begin running at you in a high speed.
Proceed to throw him off balance when he gets near with a simple low sweeping kick.

*As your clones begins to run at me, I also do the same, almost launching myself off of the ground and running towards him. As we get closer to each other, I prepare for the low sweeping kick by using my gathered to speed to suddenly almost slide across the ground, on my left side (I've been playing football (soccer if you're american) lately, so imagine this to be a violent slide tackle which aims for the clones feet, rather than a non-existent ball), as I'm sliding, I swing my right foot forwards, since I'm on my left side, the forward swing with my right foot should connect with your clones left foot and go on to knock past it and hit his right, making him lose his balance and fall to the ground.*

Sorry for the late reply. D:

 

[Adachi]

All good, take your time. ^_^ Life first.

Excellent job with that response, an interesting way of building up momentum to strike my clone. With that much power, he would probably go flying in the air you aimed at instead of simply falling down though.
But this jutsu also introduces several new concepts in Taijutsu.
Firstly, why is it important to maintain balance in Taijutsu?
