Taijutsu is combat with body parts put simply. Its about kicking, punching, and any other physical attacks using the body. Taijutsu normally doesn't use any chakra, but at times can be enhanced using chakra or by using combinations with other attacks. Channeling lightning chakra into a fist and then doing an uppercut is an example of chakra enhanced taijutsu. Things like Curse Marks or the Eight Gates also enhance taijutsu. There are two main variants of taijutsu in the ninja world, Gentle Fist and Strong Fist. The Gentle Fist is used by the Hyuga, and using their Byakugan can pinpoint the locations where chakra flows in their enemies body and strike there. The Strong Fist is all about brute strength. Guy and Lee use the Strong Fist often, but Kakashi and Sasuke have used it in training before as well. Great amounts of stamina are generally required if ones wants to master taijutsu.
Gentle Fist - A special kind of taijutsu practiced by the Hyuga utilizing their Byakugan to see the chakra flow of their opponents, then striking there, shutting off those flows of chakra. Neji used this type of taijutsu on Naruto in the Chuunin exams, and it was almost like he was paralyzed. The gentle fist also is about striking vital organs. Because of the extreme amount of chakra used when preforming this type of taijutsu, even a light poke could break bones. A few users are - Hinata, Neji, Hashashi, and Hanabi.
Advantages -
-The ability to see and shut off chakra flow.
-Not needing to hit hard to cause damage, no recoil from hard hitting either
Disadvantages-
-Uses chakra
Strong Fist - A kind of taijutsu all about breaking stuff, but mostly bones. And skin. The Strong Fist is the complete opposite of the Gentle Fist in the sense that you hit hard when using the Strong Fist. Only ninja with extreme physical capabilities use this style of fighting. Users - Guy, Lee, Sasuke, Kakashi, and even Naruto (non canon).
Advantages-
-Ability to break bones easily
Disadvantages-
-There is probably recoil damage from some of the bigger attacks using the Strong Fist
-You have to be very strong to be able to use the Strong Fist effectively
Frog Kata - A kind of taijutsu which can only be used in Sage Mode. In this fighting style, one can take nature energy and surround parts of their body with it, the thing is though, nature energy is invisible. Speed, strength, reflexes, and endurance are all increased when using Sage Mode, so therefore all of those things are increased when using Frog Kata. When in Sage Mode, the user can sense nature energy, so when using Frog Kata, they automatically can too. Users - Naruto, Fukasaku.
Advantages-
-SO MANY
-Opponent cant see nature energy around body unless they too are a Sage
-Increased speed, strength, reflexes, and endurance
- + 110.984006% buff to swagger
Disadvantages-
-To use this, you need to be in Sage Mode, and to be in Sage Mode you must be still for a while to take in nature energy
-Sage Mode doesn't last long, so you can't fight using this style for too long either
Medical - The user mixes taijutsu with medical ninjutsu to do some serious damage. In Kabuto's case, he uses chakra scalples to rip through and cut things. He can rearrange the systems inside of a body by hitting them, or fill their opponent's body with his chakra to make them succumb to a "comatose like state." Users - Kabuto
Advantages-
-Ability to make the opponent go into a comatose like state
-Easily can rip through things
Disadvantages-
-Not sure
Endurance/ Stamina:
Endurance is a key factor when one is using taijutsu. It can be very exhausting when one has to use a combination of kicks and punches and other attacks in quick succession. If you get tired while attacking the opponent in close range, it could spell your doom. The opponent could take advantage of the slowed movements to be able to counter them easily. If the opponent sees you are tired they could also use it as an opportunity to do a devastating attack which might not be possible if one is moving quickly.
Strength:
Most forms of taijutsu are about strength, with the Gentle Fist as its exception. Even if an opponent gets 20 kicks and punches in on you, they wont matter too much if they were weak. If the opponent gets in 20 powerful kicks and punches in on you however, they could have done serious damage. Most forms of taijutsu are powerless if the user cant put power into the attacks.
Balance:
*sorry about breaking rp here by talking about your signature but here goes*
Your signature is a perfect example of good balance mixed with taijustu (and kenjutsu). If that swordsman didn't have good balance, he would have fallen over probably at least 4 times. If you are off balance when fighting in close quarters, your attacks will not be on target and you could trip (the man with the hat in your signature is just amazing at dodging, not that the other swordsman has bad balance). Balance is key to fighting efficiently and powerfully.
Stance:
Stance is incredibly important. When you are in a stance, you are prepared for combat. You could be defending some part of your body, have your hands up in order to make a faster punch, and many other things. A stance preps you for your attack in the most effective way possible.
Saito readied his stance to start his warm up. Saito in a mere [bold]twelve seconds[/bold] ripped off his [bold]pants[/bold] and shirt, revealing a full body suit. His Amegakure headband was also magically on his waist now.

Saito ran down the field. One lap, two laps, three laps, until he had completed a whole 1000 times.
This is nothing! I can still go on!
Saito jumped up into the air and did eight and a half backflips, landing on his hands.
HERE WE GOOO!!!!
Saito sprinted down the field on his palms, flexing his arms at the elbows for a greater stride. After 500 laps, Saito pushed himself upwards off the ground and did eight and a half front flips to land on his feet oh so majestically.

Saito next created a water clone and wrapped his hands which were so slightly bleeding from the last exercise.
Alright Saito! I want you to keep me going no matter what! Also! If I haven't gotten to at least 5000 push-ups by the next half hour, stack these 10 convenient phone books on my back, and if even one falls off, I must re start!
Yes sir! The clone said as he saluted his original self.
Saito dropped to the ground and started doing push ups. He made it to 5000 just barely before 30 minutes, so he didn't have to have phone books on his back.
After 10000 push ups, Saito walked his hands to his feet then slowly stood up.
How relaxing! Saito said as he did a backflip into a sit up position. Saito put his arms across his chest and started doing sit ups. After the 10000, Saito rocked his body and launched himself upwards onto his feet.
you will begin to pratice hitting it.
-100 palm strikes
-100 punch(straight, side hook, uppercut)
-100 forearm strike
-100 elbow strike
-100 kicks using the sole of the feet
-200 kicks using the top of the feet
-100 toe strikes
-100 foe leg strikes
-100 knee strikes
Saito sprinted up to the dummy and did a backflip with forwards momentum, landing facing away from the dummy but then sliding his left foot around to face the dummy, he took up the rock lee stance. He had his right arm out in front of him and his left arm behind his back

So we meet again tree-kun. Prepare to feel pain!
Saito breathed in through his nose slowly, closed his eyes, exhaled through his mouth, then opened his eyes which now had Byakugan eye contacts in them. He slammed his palm into the wood.
One palm!
He slammed it into the wood two more times.
Two palms!... Four palms!.....Eight palms!.......Sixteen palms!............Thirty-two palms!.......................Sixty-four palms!............... One hundred twenty eight palms!!!!!

Saito without stopping kept his pace and switched his palm strikes to uppercuts, side hooks, and straight on punches. After he completed 100 of those, he spun on his heel and smashed his forearm into the side of the tree. He slammed his arm into the tree 99 more times for that set. Next, Saito smashed the tree with his elbows over and over again. About half way through his elbow smashes set, the tree was starting to take shape of something, almost like he was sculpting it out of clay. After he finished his elbow strikes, Saito moved back a little bit, raised his leg, and launched it at the tree 100 times, his soul hitting the tree. After the 100 sole kicks, Saito kicked the tree 200 times with his toes and muscles there. Saito kicked the tree 100 more times with the toes of his feet. After these, Saito slammed his whole leg into the wood, in one big kick. He did this kick 99 more times, then kneed the tree 100 times.
By the time Saito had gone through all the sets, he accidentally recreated David out of wood.

I apologize for any and all grammatical mistakes in this post as I'm very very tired. Same goes for sentences that make absolutely no sense.
*One clone(though in a different clothing) rushes towards Priest. As soon as he gets to striking range, he launches a right punch towards Priest's face. Priest on the other hand would have assumed a low stance and as the punch approaches, He slaps the side of the right wrist with his left palm, slaping it so that it move towards the clones left and missing his face. Though he won't stop there, while the clone drifts towards the direction of the slap(priest's right), Priest quickly drops low while planting his whole weight on his left leg using it as a pivot and with a swift rotation, he would now be behind the clone with a ground embracing swing of his right leg, performing a full leg sweep from behind of the clone. This action leaves the clone temporarily airborne giving Priest an opportunity to lean back slightly with his butt almost touching the ground, both hands perched on the ground to support his weight(though his weight still on his left leg). He would only raise his right leg which is already stretched to kick the airborne clone high into the air. The clone now raised a bit high, Priest springs himself high into the air, meeting the clone with a jump kick to the guts then using the contact of his leg to create bouyancy and effort, he spins clockwise twice landing a kick on his torso and head respectively. A final punch to the clone's chest sends the clone crashing to the floor and poofin away.*

Now create you own detailed scenario, different from mine. Remember to metion every details, body physics, type of hand/leg used, movement, speed/momentum, reaction and what not
I'm going to pretend that you created 100s of shadow clones all around me for this scenario.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Saito watched Priest as he preformed the Ram -> Serpent -> Tiger handseals, creating 100s of shadow clones around Saito. Priest jumped back and sat down on a tree branch to watch.

A clone of Priest ran head on at Saito with a shuriken in hand. At the same time a clone ran towards Saito from his left side. He noted the presence of the second clone but made no indication that he saw him as he only saw the clone out of the corner of his eye. The first clone threw the the shuriken towards Saito, who opened his palm and on a slight angle slapped the top of the shuriken. He slapped it with such speed that it completely changed the direction and spinning speed of the shuriken. It was originally spinning clockwise, but the slap made it spin counter-clockwise. The slap sent the shuriken soaring towards the second clone, poofing him on contact.

After Saito had sent the shuriken at the other clone, he ran at the first one and jumped into the air, his right leg extended outwards and his left one tucked under him by the back of his thigh. The clone was sent flying backwards into multiple clones behind him, making at least six of them poof.

Description:A taijutsu attack were the user does a jumping kick into the opponents face.
Saito landed with both of his feet and hands on the ground after his dynamic entry. He saw a clone in short range of him about to punch him, so he pushed his legs over his body, using his arms as support, and landed a double kick on the clone, making him fly backwards into another clone running towards Saito, poofing them both.

As Saito was doing his double kick, he noted two clones running in behind him whom he saw when he was upside-down. Right after his feet made contact with the other clone, he pushed off of that clone with his feet and pushed off of the ground with his arms to send him towards the other two clones which were in short range. He did a backflip from the ground upwards onto his feet but immediately slid his right leg on the ground at a high speed towards the clones and bent low. He tripped up both clones, sending them into the air momentarily.

As the enemies were in mid air, Saito sprung upwards from the ground, using the momentum from that to throw himself at the two clones. He grabbed them both and tackled them to the ground, making them poof. As they slid momentarily along the grass.

Description: The user runs at the enemy and tackles them, slamming them into the earth.
Saito quickly got up and saw another clone running at him. He raised his fists and kept them near his face in order to defend or strike quickly. His left leg was also ahead of his right leg. When the clone got in range, Saito used the muscles in his left leg to press down against the earth, springing him forwards, catching the clone a bit by surprise. Saito sent his right fist speeding at the left side of the clone's face, which made contact and made his body spin 180 degrees as he fell to the ground and poofed.

After Saito punched the clone, he saw another one start to run out of the crowd. Saito started running at the clone as well, and when he got in range, he jumped into the air. His right leg was straight and aimed towards the ground below him, while his left leg was bent at the knee and forward, like how it is if someone were to knee someone in the gut. Saito spun around several times before before he used that momentum to land a powerful kick on the clone, making him instantly poof.

After Saito had kicked his opponent, he saw another clone running at him from his right side who was fairly close already. Saito spun around counter-clockwise to gain momentum for his fist as well as be in a better position to punch the clone instead of turning, pulling back his fist, and then punching. The clone was hit dead in the stomach and poofed instantly.

(the spinning attack at 13:00)
Okay one of my clone draws a katana and lifts it high while darting towards you.
Once he gets close and begins to swing down his sword, I want you to disarm him with your foot, by leaning your weight to one side of your body or lean your weight backwards while raising the leg that is opposite to the lean. For example if you fall slightly to your right, then you raise your left leg since your entire weight is on the right thus you have enough balance. If you lean backwards, you can put your weight on either legs and you just need to raise the leg that is free. Time it perfectly so that it connects with the wrist holding the sword and use the force of the kick to send the sword flying upwards. Also because you kick the hand of my clone, his entire torso is open to you. Next you return from your leaning position and slam a straight forwards palm into his stomach so that air is knocked out of him and as he double over, slam another palm thrust with the other hand but now, this palm thrust is an upward rising one so that it sends him flying. Lastly, as he is airborne, jump and position yourself above my clone and do a downwards palm thrust to his back sending him back down.
This clone would have to be one bulky son of a gun to actually survive this in the rp XD
_____________________
As Priest's clone neared Saito, and then raised his sword, Saito leaned backwards, and with his left foot delivered a devastating upwards kick to it's wrist. The sword in its hand was launched from it, and it spun several times in the air before the real Priest caught it. Shifting, his weight from back to front, Saito pushed off of his foot and slammed his right palm into the clone's chest. He the took another step forward and slammed his palm into the clone, but this time the strike was raised higher. The clone was sent flying into the air, and Saito jumped up above him. Saito brought his palm back and smashed it into the clone's back, which in turn sent the clone to the ground...
Seeing one of their comrade poof, another clone charges at you but now at immense speed. Now as he comes, I want you to defend by attacking. Bring the fight to him. Time it perfectly so that as he nears short range, you disrupt his calculation by suddenly closing the distance yourself. Flip towards him with a kick to his face. As he is about to fly backwards, pull him back and close while slaming your knee into his guts, continue at this with a barrage of punches and kicks without giving him a breathing space then use the 8th strike to send him into the air by crouching and leaning backwards while using your free leg to kick his underchin.
Once he is airborne, close the gap while jumping towards him and grab his ankle while spining him over so that his head is facing downwards. Wrap your leg around his waist and drive him downwards head first.
