So, let's talk Byakugan. What do you know about it? If there is so much as a single sentence of copy/paste from any site in the internet, I am dropping the training. I want YOU to answer, and make mistakes if need be. We're here to make you understand better, not to read wikis.

Understood.
The Byakugan is the Dojutsu unique to the Hyuga Clan, one of the noble families of Konoha, as well as one of the 3 great Dojutsu, along with the Sharingan and Rinnegan. This eye appears as a completely white eye while its abilities are not in use. However, when activated, veins and other signs of visible strain appear to build around the eye. When activated, the user is granted a huge increase in their perception of sight. But, the most deadly aspect is that it grants an almost perfect 360 vision, with the exception of the blind spot at the back of the neck. While the Dojutsu is active, it also lets the user better utilise their Hyuga techniques, such as the 8 Trigrams 64 Palms, since the Dojutsu is capable of seeing the chakra network and tenketsu within the human body. However, while it does have its increased sight perception, it is still vulnerable to counter. As seen in Naruto, the Byakugan's sight augmentation was shown to be countered by powerful mist techniques.
Some notable users are Neji, Hinata, Ao, Hiashi and Kaguya.

Actually, the Byakugan can see through The Hidden Mist jutsu, where the Sharingan failed miserably. Your Byakugan can see almost through anything, except for some very particular barrier jutsu, such as the one used on Sasuke by the Sound four to accelerate his Curse Mark develepoment. Other than that, you can virtually see through everything.
You can even pinpoint the element of chakra you're seeing, and you can easily notice your own chakra flow, thus allowing you to realise you are within a genjutsu mere moments after it was casted. That will come in handy in future fights, keep it in mind. ^_^
Now, here's how my training goes - We will go through 1 technique at a time, and we will dwell on each of them at least a couple of posts. I will try to expand on every jutsu as much as possible, and then we will go through different activities to make sure you grasped the concept of each technique. I will, at random, present you with different battle scenarios, where you will need to show me how you would respond. I really encourage you to actively make questions on each jutsu, as they will help you out figure out answers of your own in the future when you look back into this thread. If all of that is alright by you, let's begin!
So, we need to unlock your Byakugan first, is that correct?
Then, let's begin!
Make the following hand seals:
Horse, Tiger with lifting just index fingers, Boar with nearly straightened fingers, Hare, Rat, Dog, Horse, Dog, Hare, Rat, Boar with nearly straightened fingers, and Snake with the right index finger lifted straight up.
Then, I want you to focus your chakra into your eyes, to the point where you feel the veins around your eyes to bulge to a great extent, and tell me what you see.

Yes. Lets start!
Following my teacher's instructions, I create the horse seal, followed by the tiger hand seal with only my index fingers, the boar seal, the hare, rat, dog, horse, dog, hare, rat, boar and snake hand seal, with my right index finger lifted up on the snake seal. I then focus my chakra into my eyes. When the amount of chakra in my eyes exceeds a certain point, the veins around my eyes bulge and become very visible. I then look around and analyse my surroundings.
I can see...my chakra network and yours. I can also see the tenketsu within our bodies. I can see the chakra flowing throughout our networks as well.
Ah, yes, that's more like it. Now, why don't you tell me what happens when you focus your vision onto my chakra system? Try and deliberately pin-point my pressure points, and count them. How many do you see?

I use my Byakugan to focus my vision even further, and look at your chakra network closely, seeing small pressure points. I then do a quick but accurate counting of them.
There are a total of 361 pressure points. Called tenketsu, if memory serves me well.
So, there's 361 pressure points in one's body. The Tenketsu are the basis for the Hyuuga's signature "Gentle Fist", where they exploit the advantages the Byakugan provides. So, what do you know of the Gentle Fist? Do you know what it is?

The Gentle Fist is a style of Taijutsu mainly practiced by members of the Hyuuga clan, mainly because only the Hyuuga can utilise the style effectively with their Byakugan. Not all users with Byakugan can practice Gentle Fist (within this RP, and to my knowledge). Gentle Fist is a style that exploits the advantages the Byakugan provides...being able to see the Tenketsu pressure points and chakra pathways within the body of the opponent. Using this style, the practitioner can either boost or completely halt the circulation of chakra around the body, rendering the opponent unable to use chakra in any way, this attack is known as the Eight Trigrams 64 Palms. However, not all Gentle Fist techniques are for offense. There is one technique known as the Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven, and this involves the practitioner streaming their chakra from the Tenketsu in their body and rotating on the spot, creating a small dome of chakra surrounding them that will block projectile weaponry.
Basically, the Byakugan allows you to see the points in the body that help regulate the chakra flow. If you apply the correct amount of pressure, you can, albeit temporarily, completely close another individual's chakra flow, and thus stopper a shinobi's access to his ninjutsu. I am sure you can see the usefulness in that, but there's another side to the style - whenever you hit any pressure point, there's an organ that will be closely intertwined. The massive amount of damage you can output onto an organ is another key factor in this style, although it's oft forgotten.
I suddenly summon a training dummy.
So, this is Gary. You will be practicing your techniques on him. As you will notice, he has a chakra system of his own, and he will move of his own accord. Now, come at him for a little sparring session, but bear in mind he is a great taijutsu specialist. Tread lightly.

I initially walk slowly towards the training dummy, then put on a quick burst of speed and run at him. Once he is within arm's reach I chop at his neck with the side of my hand. I then follow up by forming a fist with my left hand and punching the training dummy in the gut.
As you attempt to chop his neck, the dummy makes a quick backflip, landing on his hands, and thus evading your initial attack. As you miss, he jumps off his hands forward again, but this time with his legs extended at it's fullest, hitting you squarely on the chest, as you are sent flying some meters backwards. Standing back up on it's feet, the dummy awaits round 2.
Now, you don't have the advantage here on strong fist. You will need to make use of your Byakugan to win, but you can't use Gentle Fist. Let us see if you can adapt fast.

As soon as the dummy springs towards me, threatening to kick me in the chest, I fling my head and chest back. This would bring my entire body down with me. Just before my head hits the ground, I put my hands where my my head is, with my palms facing the ground. I then kick my body back up and land on my feet. Listening to my sensei mention using the Byakugan, I immediately focus chakra into my eyes until I feel the veins around my eyes bulge. With that, my Byakugan is activated. Looking at the opponent, I look for a pressure point I can exploit. I decide upon the point that lies just below the ear at the jaw. Running quickly towards the opponent, I bring my left arm up and clap my hand against it, to support it and stop the opponent from getting away. I then bring my right arm up and, using my middle and index fingers, apply pressure inwards and upwards. This would cause immense pain in the jaw. I then use the second middle finger knuckle of my right hand to punch the place I am applying pressure, dislocating the jaw of the dummy.
--------
For the movement I used to dodge the kick, its in the 1st spoiler. The pressure point I exploited is in the 2nd spoiler.

As you're about to execute your move on the dummy's throat, it immediately reacts by smashing his head forward, avoiding your hand's grasp as it headbutts you, promptly hurting you while making you feel disoriented. Taking advantage of it, the dummy creates a wooden sword out of it's body, as he readies for the next assault.
Ah, that was a good move but you're still not utilizing your Byakugan efficiently. The Gentle Fist is not the only weapon the Hyuuga have, and that would be wise to remember - we have already talked about this, but doesn't the Byakugan see through pretty much any solid object? Is there any way you could implement that into your hand-to-hand combat?

I reel back from the blow, the attack having caught me in the face. I listen to my sensei as he talks further about what I could do.
When you speak of being able to see through solid objects, what would that allow me to do in combat? I've tried thinking about advantages of having that ability, and the only one I can think of is being able to see the skeletal system of the opponent. I just tried exploiting that, and I do not see what else I could do.

Ah, you're lacking imagination! How about utilizing basic ninja tools, per se, such as smokebombs, to cloud your opponent's vision, and enable you to catch him off guard?
You must understand that's a really important aspect of the Byakugan you should always bear in mind!
