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.

Now, proceed to dash at my clone once more, but throw your leg out at a higher position on his body, so that his eyes are focused upon it. Then, use your other, dominant leg to aim for his rib cage for the real damage.

=D

-i continue running at your next clone, directly approaching him. as i am about to reach him i decrease my speed and make a small step while my right leg is in the front. since i have to use both my leg almost one after another, i had to make the last step short. as i throust my right leg onto the ground to make a quick jump, i take my left leg upwards almost the height of your clone's eyes. as his eyes are focused on my left leg, i thrust my right leg onto his rib cage, simultaneously taking my left leg back on the ground to hold my balance. the kick will throw the clone several feet backwards on the ground. it's powerful enough to crush a few bone as well.-

Good, good. Let's describe the use of "feinting" in Taijutsu.
Feinting means throwing out a fake attack in order to get the enemy to react so you can follow directly with a planned move. How might this come in handy during Taijutsu fights?

-in taijutsu. most attacks are close range, so the enemy have a upper-hand if he can block my real attack and instantly counter. but feinting allows the user to concentrate on a fake attack while making the real move. like the move above, if the enimy;s eyes are on my left leg, the chance of successful hit with the right leg grows up a lot.-

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. Now, let's directly tie this into using your body weight during Taijutsu.
What do you know of this?

i didn't get what i have to tell sensei ...

 

[Adachi]

When you forward to punch someone, you shift all your body weight into the move to punch him. When you slam someone with your entire body, it's basically using that very weight.
Do you understand? This is very important in free form Kenjutsu and Taijutsu.

(Konoha Senpū) - Leaf Hurricane
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 10
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.

Now, proceed to allow gravity to carry your body back, however, at the last second before you hit the ground, shift all the body weight forward, using the momentum to strike my clone in the body and into the air.

sensei, i am confused again :ghehe:

 

[Adachi]

Okay, uh.
Like allow yourself to fall backwards, but right before you hit the ground, force yourself back up and kick my clone.

You can also try this in real life...like shifting all your body weight forward to hit something.

-i simply let gravity pull my body backwards though both my legs are on the ground bending from knee. as my body is parallel with the ground and still falling back , i force my back up, shifting all the body weight forward as i kick your clone with my right leg on his chest in an angel upwards. the kick send the clone flying in the air a few meter. -

So, let's discuss this a bit.
Have you ever played with a ball attached to a string? What happened when you applied a lot of force to it consistently over and over? How might this relate to the move?

just like the picture, the ball will moving in a circle. at first the radius is 0. as i keep applying force on it, the radius increases as well as the balls angular momentum. at this rate, soon the ball will reach maximum height ( almost same height as the other side of the string). at that point, the ball's potential and kinetic energy both are maximum. so if i use the ball to hit something then, the ball will cause maximum damage. same goes for a kick i guess.

 

[Adachi]

Kinetic energy... Oh God. I didn't think I'd hear that after AP Physics.
Well put. All the energy would indeed be placed into your kick.

Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 20
Description: This technique uses the entire body as a spring, by amassing power through taking a posture where the back of the body falls down. With this powerful taijutsu, the user kicks just above the head. Because the power of the kick from the ground is instantly converted into a blow, the enemy hit with this attack will be launched high into the sky.

Now, proceed to run up to my clone and aim for the top of his body, striking him with a downwards thrust to the floor.

KE, i hear that everyday @_@

-i start running directly at your clone. as i approach close rage to him, i put my right leg forwards( now both of my legs are on the ground). i move my right hand backwards while a make a fist. then i quickly take the hand above my head and thrust it downwards on your clone's shoulder/neck joint. while hitting your clone i make sure the hand is a bit bend, so i that i can push him downwards with my full force with the thrust. the blow will strike your clone down on the floor.-

 

[Adachi]

Very good. So while we were focused more on the central and higher areas of the human body and targeting our moves there, what might you think an attack that strikes an opponent down upon the ground would be for?

if i make an attack and successfully strikes the opponent down on the ground, i'll have more time for the next attack. the opponent can't defend himself properly while on the ground. so the battle would be half way to over.

Excellent response.

=D

*as we are close range face to face, i shorten the gap between us even more. i put my left leg ahead on his right side. upon reaching the suitable position, i swing my right arm before your clone's eye in a horizontal line to distract him. as he tries to block my right hand, i load a fist backwards with my right hand and swing it with full force forward in an angel upwards. my fist hits his stomach or a bit lower. as the blow connects with his body, i push the ground harder with my right leg to put some extra force on his body upwards. the punch simply send him into the air backwards.-

 

[Adachi]

Excellent job! Proceed to finish him off then.
And tell me why knocking an enemy into the air is so important.
