Zora was sitting in a random dono out in the bushes in the middle of the fire country. Why? Because people told her to, she was also going to get her legs sealed sealed with weights making her barely able to move. Good times.
[Tai] Getting heavier...

Sorry for the slow start, had some important irl stuff I had to take care of. Swing me a reminder if I ever take too long between replies. With that out of the way, let's get going. 
An exhausted, fragile looking man, with shaggy blond hair, and a skeletal build feebly opened the door to this, one of many dojo found within the Land of Fire, and upon noticing the young woman, seemingly patiently awaiting his arrival, introduced himself.
Before he could even finish his sentence, a stream of blood gushed forth from the man's mouth, half-comically, half-life threateningly, though he did his best to not let it show. Casually wiping the blood from his mouth, and attempting to clear his throat of the rest, he then readdressed the young woman.

"Why hello there young lady, are you the one known as 'Zora'?" Awaiting her response, he then introduced himself. "There's no need to worry now. Why? Because I am he-*cough*."

Casually wiping the blood from his mouth, and attempting to clear his throat of the rest, he then readdressed the young woman.
"You can call me Toshinori, and I'm here to teach you about the supplementary tools, Leg Weights." Taking a moment to catch his breath, he continued. "Can you start by telling me all you know about Taijutsu, the Eight Inner Gates, and the Weights themselves?"
A mere skeleton entered the dono while Zora was half asleep. Patience wasn't one of her most known attributes but she had tried. God damn she had tried Z_Z. As the door closed behind him, Zora heard him speak about her. Before she could say anything back he continued by coughing and saying that he was.. him?
...
Zora lied back with her entire body now spread out on the floor on the dono in a hilarious way. She knew why she was there, why did he have to repeat it like she was some sort of kindergarten kid. Oh well whatever, she needed his training and although her minds where quite sarcastic she didn't show it when she was about to answer his question involving taijutsu, EIG and the leg weights. She sat up and drew her sword quite randomly. She then pierced the dono floor with the edge of the sword and leaned her chin on the handle as the sword would act as her only means of being able to stand up straight. She was half-asleep afterall.. She would talk to herself in the middle of the sentence at some points..
"First of.. first of all, hi. Yeah i'm Zora and i am sorry that i am quite tired i guess the journey here drained some of my energy. It's a pleasu... IT IS!!..
..It's a pleasure to meet you. Now then, taijutsu.. Why the **** are we even..
...TAIJUTSU.. Yes, is martial arts that usually doesn't revolve around usage of chakra and thus could be very useful for people who doesn't know how to use it. The martial arts are composed out of the traditional japanese hand-to-hand combat as well as some other chakra-infused moves such as lightning uppercut move that i swear i have decapitated someone with i think.. Anyway, Eight inner gates or EIG as i like to call it is a sort of Zen trance where the user builds up chakra through their own chakra pressure points. This would then in turn allow the user to become stronger for every single gate they open. You gain temporarily super-human strength and speed at the cost of seriously damaging your body and it can also lead to death and extreme pains. Lastly, yeah the weights are a sealed compartment of weights that are applied on a users legs in order to gain extra weight. Once the user gets used to the weights, they are increased to maximum level. The idea is that when the user has learned how to walk, run etc normally with the heavy weights they would then take them off in combat. This would accelerate the users running speed and strength towards their legs. Amplifying the impact they can deal out with mostly kicks. "
...
Zora then spread out on the floor again like some sort of a jellyfish. She closed her eyes but waited about 10 secounds to open one of them dramatically to see if her master was still around.

Apologies for the wait. In regards to your VM, obviously I'm not responding on a frequent basis right now, and sad to say, it probably won't get any better any time soon. If you want to find someone more consistent, you're well within your right to do so, as I'm basically holding your training up with my inability to reply in a timely fashion. Until then, I'll do my best.
Toshinori listened intently to the young woman's description, taking note of a most peculiar vocal quirk the young woman seemed to possess. While it was unique, it certainly didn't impede or otherwise affect her descriptive capabilities, so it was of little concern. Despite seemingly talking to herself(?) at some points, her description was in line with what he expected. Once she was done however, she slumped back down onto the floor, showing a complete lack of motivation or energy, or at least, that's how it appeared. As she casually opened one, almost as if to ask "Are you still here?" Toshinori's face began to vibrate more and more uncontrollably, at first glance appearing to be out of frustration, but soon, in one sudden motion, his sunken cheeks filled, and his grim, hollow, vacant eyes became confident and determined. As they did, he let out a rallying battle cry of vigor and encouragement.
"Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!! Shall we get started, young Zora!!"
Pulling a small, neatly rolled piece of fabric from a utility pouch on his belt, he unraveled it to reveal a garish red, white and blue tracksuit, the likes of which only the most daring and self-confident would ever be caught in, as though he were trying to embarrass the young woman. Quickly changing into the star-spangled suit, he then politely encouraged Zora to get up from her position on the ground, and show him what she was made of.

"Well, you can certainly describe Taijutsu, but now I'd like to see you back those words up with your fists!! Go Beyond, and come at me with everything you have!! PLUS ULTRA!!"
As she lied there and opened her eyes.. the sensei had seemingly transformed his hollow apperance into something that actually looked decent. Zoras right eyebrow rised slightly as she pulled her back from the floor. Her master then started to talk with a warm and proud tone as he put on a tracksuit. At this point, Zora was encouraged to rise up. It was fine she thought, a 10 secound nap was better than she had hoped for.. As her sensei readied himself by entering combat stance, he told Zora to come at him. Having no expectations of her own martial arts potency nor her master she would *with a tired expression* ready herself for a brief combat session. Leaving no windows open for attack, Zora swiftly moved towards her sensei with the grace of a water tiger. Analysing where her sudden but inevitable ”opponent” would move as he saw death infront of him. What parts of him would he protect, what parts would he sacrifice, what parts would he cause a debacle with..
She noticed as she moved that his stance was changing when sheclosed in on him. She attacked by springing her left leg from the ground and raising her right leg and right arm to perform a kick/punch combo while leaving her left arm to defend. Time moved thousand of times slower than normal and her senses told her to go for it..
...
BOOM!!

BOOM!!
Toshinori watched brazenly, yet carefully, as his student appeared to carefully take in everything she could about him, such as his stance, how he would change it as she charged, where he would move to defend, and where he would leave open to attack. How he would counter he attack, and how she would counter his counter. But whereas all these thoughts had crossed his mind as well, Toshinori simply stood there with his confident bravado-esque stance, hands placed of his hips, his chest puffed out, as if it say "I am here, come and do your worst!!" As Zora's attack landed, All Might could tell she had carefully planned this all out, showing a clear aptitude for the field, despite her apparent nonchalance, and disinterested attitude. She had planted an attack squarely on his weak point, an old, festering wound from a fight long ago... Trying not to let it show, he flexed his muscles and bellowed a mighty laugh, roaring with joy in the face of her attack, as though it were nothing, but in an instant, the facade faded away, leaving a desiccated corpse, coughing blood, in the heroic figure's place.
"Shit!! I mean, uhh... Good one, I guess..."
Clearing the blood from his face, he finally pulled out the object of their reason for meeting one another. From one of the many pouches on his cargo pants, Toshinori pulled out a folded set of Leg Weights, and carefully handed them, in their normal, sealed state. Doing otherwise would cause the young woman's bones to crack and fall apart under their pressure, and that was the last thing he needed. Another student with tendencies to hurt themselves... As he waited for Zora to put them on, he explained the plan for the next few hours.

As he waited for Zora to put them on, he explained the plan for the next few hours.
"Okay, so, right now those are about as heavy as you'd expect a set of weights to be. The plan is to start simple and work our way up to the optimum weight for you. Once we do that, you'll need to spend some time with them, about a month or so, then come back and see the results for yourself. So, let's see some moves with just these unweighted weights on.
As Zora landed her right leg and right hand into the middle of her sensei he turned into a skeletal body. Again... She had just been prepared to take in her senseis true appearance but it was futile. He had gone back to his weak self again. How.. inspiring she thought. Even though she was very nonchalant, she actually started to pity her sensei. Asking him if he was okey after she had been handed the leg weights and the instructions from her teacher. His blood was all over her clothes and the embarrassing look he gave to her only made her feel worse. As she was waiting for a response from the man she strapped on the extremely heavy weights around her legs. Feeling like she would fall straight through the floor. Her weight was doubled, tripled, quintupled? Trying to move around she looked towards her legs and she felt very weird. Almost like that time she was a teenager and tried on high-heeled shoes..
I guess if i walk on a bug now they will definitely die.. Hehe..hehe..
She heard the instructions from her teacher to come back after a month of wearing the things.. She couldn't wait to do so, honestly every floor she walked on would break inwards and she'd have to pay customer fees. Not only that but how the hell was she supposed to swim with these... Hopefully she would adapt like her sensei had told her she would. And when she would be able to release the weights, she'd be fast. Fast as hell.

His students concern was touching, but unneeded. This wasn't her fault after all, it was merely an old war wound... Watching as the young woman donned the Weights, and seemed to acclimatize to them rather well. When she made the comment about really definitely killing bugs now, Toshinori wondered what kinds of bugs she was trying to trample on, and how long it would be before they dominated the world... Back to the task at hand however, Toshi and Zora spent the next several hours going back and forth between increasing the weight of the seal on the Leg Weights, and becoming accustomed to that weight. once Zora was at a perceived level of comfort, Toshi informed her that they were done for the moment, instructing her to meet him back here in roughly a months time, when she had grown more accustomed to wearing them in her daily life, and had reached a level where wearing them was equal to her life before putting them on. And with a confident smile, and a flash of muscle, he disappeared, leaving a cloud of smoke in his wake.
*Imagine a whole month going by. Shouldn't be too hard, right?*
A month had passed since he left Zora to her own devices, so Toshinori decided it was high time he met back up with the young woman, hoping that she had fared well in the interval, and if not, at least didn't accumulate one hefty collateral damage bill in her wake...

Zora arrived back at the dono she had left a month ago to begin her weighted training. It was a comfortable sight and truth to see her master waiting for her in the dono and by the looks of it, he looked healthier than when she had seen him last time. This and the added feeling of being back to show her master what she had learned produced a blushed smile on her face which she didn't hide. She had become accustomed to the weights and she couldn't wait to see what they had done to her physically. On her masters call she waited to remove them and show him what she got. It was time to show the world that a Yamanaka could do something physical too..
Heyo! Hope you missed me cus it's going to get rough now master x__x
Heyo! Hope you missed me cus it's going to get rough now master x__x
Since she had left around a month ago, it seemed Zora had grown accustomed to wearing the additional weights, but was ironically no longer weighed down by her dour, nonchalant mood. Quite the reversal of personality, as she brazenly stated that things were going to get "rough". As a proud smile washed away any other expression on Toshinori's hollowed face, his form once more expanded into that of a proud heroic figure.
As he gestured Zora to bring him everything she had, performing the all-too-common "bring it on gesture, that has been overused in martial arts movies since time immemorial, he continued.
His request was clear; Show me what you can do with those weights.
Just to save you time, here's both the Leg Weights, and associated Drop Jutsu. Don't forget the +20 to kick related techniques either. It's one of the things that make these tools a valuable part of your arsenal.
"Well? What are you waiting for?! I'm right here!!"

(Katai Omori) Leg Weights
Type: Weapon/Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A
Description: The Leg Weights used for Special Taijutsu Training with Added Weights are made through the application of a sealing formula to ordinary leg weights. The sealing formula is used to, through the use of Chakra, increase the weight of the leg weights to the desired level. The seal can't be applied to anything other than the leg weights and its use is restricted to its original purpose. One can remove the leg weights but the sealing technique in them stays active indefinitely and can't be released. Additionally, the Leg Weights and their unique seal calibration makes them only usable by the ninja to whom they belong. They can't be sealed or stolen.
(Katai Omori: Doroppu) Leg Weights: Drop
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A (+20 to Kicks, 2x Running Speed)
Description: The user stops, bends over to reach his legs and unstraps his leg weights, dropping them to the ground. As a result the user gains a drastic boost to his running speed (doubles) and +20 to all his Strong Fist Kick-related moves. However, this boost in strength and speed is completely nullified when releasing the EIG or when using any kind of movement speed enhancement technique or weight manipulation technique; they don't add up on each other.
