Ah ok I see. Lightning can be a great defense when in Ninjutsus battles but the opponent tries to go for a Taijutsu move.Good. Now, you see hoe you can utilize such lightning techniques in short range? By stopping a punch, and following up with an abrupt lightning shock, you can temporarily tense up an opponents muscles, and follow up with a powerful attack to a pressure point. My favorite pressure point is the Solar Plexus, throughout almost every taijutsu fight I'm in I will probably try to strike you there at least once.
Although that is a possibility, I suggest you don't use it in Taijutsu based fights, as it tends to ruin the fun of the battle. It is merely there incase you wish to use it in Ninjutsu battles, and remains an option.
Onto the next technique:
"Begin by moulding your riation chakra and concentrating it to your hands. Release the chakra as a wave of lightning that protrudes outwards. It should be powerful enough to rip through solid rock, as well as serving to possibly augment the strength of a water style technique."
*I face a rock and start gathering Raiton chakra into my hands. Once I feel enough has been gathered, I bring my right hand up to and across my chest. I now swing my arm across, while at the same time releasing the Raiton chakra outwards. I feel the strong wave of the lightning as it clashes and rips through the rock*
