Hory shez, that thread tho! O_O
As usual, expected this from Crutch.
*Sasuke's sensei asks him what he knows about Taijutsu, and this is what he says: *
Taijutsu
Taijutsu, which means Body Techniques is a basic form of techniques and refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimisation of natural human abilities. It also refers to hand to hand combat. Physical energy is used, basically relying on the stamina or strength gained from training. Some ninjas use chakra to enhance their taijutsu techniques. Also, it is much faster than Genjutsu or Ninjutsu, as traditionally, it requires no usage of handseals or concentration of chakra. Stamina and strength are very important when using Taijutsu.
Timing and momentum are very important when executing Taijutsu. For eg: when a person tries to punch you with full speed, you can avoid it if you are very fast, but the person can't stop his own punch, because essentially momentum is body movement and high speed movements are harder to stop because of greater momentum, and great acceleration. When timing is used at the right instance, you have an advantage over your opponent. Only certain things can be done in Taijutsu.
Though, the EIG are an exception, but they come with disadvantages to the body. It is always important to keep track of position of our body relative to that of the opponent, because in some positions, the limitations on the body are more. Concentration and response are also very important in Taijutsu as even a slight distraction, gives an opening to the opponent. Taijutsu can also be used in sychronization with Ninjutsu, creating NinTaijutsu techniques. Additionally, Sennin Mode increase the strength of Taijutsu, as demonstrated by Naruto when he was able to lift a rock boulder with his bare hands. Also, a special Yin Seal Release enhances body power, as seen when Sakura was able to finish off Mini Juubi clones.
