Now that we have that one out of the way, we can begin with the actual lotus jutsus.
The Front Lotus, or Primary Lotus as it's called in the dubbed anime, is a powerful and useful jutsu. By combining it with the Shadow of the Dancing Leaf, it becomes an effective combo that can easily incapacitate a foe by drilling them head first into the earth. The jutsu itself is more or less a restraining grab and slam into the earth, made more effective if you have a means to prevent them from countering by using their arms. In Rock Lee's case, he used his bandages to wrap around Gaara and aid him by preventing his movement. After restraining them, you flip over your head and begin to rotate at high speeds as you slam his head into the earth, remembering to spring out of the way at the last moment to avoid yourself being drilled into the earth.
(Hachimon: Omote Renge) - Eight Gates: Primary Lotus
Rank:B
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points: 40
Description: Front Lotus requires the opening of the first of the Eight Chakra Gates, giving the user five times their normal strength. The user launches the opponent into the air and then uses Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Once behind the opponent, the user restrains them and pile-drives them into the ground head first while rotating at a ferocious speed. Because it uses one of the chakra gates, the user is left extremely fatigued, making this technique a "double-edged sword". However those who have mastered the use of the Eight Gates can use this technique without any strain to their body.
Note: Must first open the 1st Gate
A video of Lee performing it on Sasuke from one of the many games can be seen below:
