That's so weird that I thought you were kenjutsu... my bad lmao. I must of confused you with someone. Let's start with the basics of taijutsu and we'll go into the mechanics of taijutsu. Tell me in what ways taijutsu different from ninjutsu, in what situations would you use cannon taijutsu, and what is taijutsu really mean to you.
Well after listening to his sensei's questions, Shikamaru replied.
" Taijutsu is referred to as any technique which requires the use of martial arts or natural human abilities. It utilizes the users Physical and mental energies. Taijutsu relies greatly on the user's training and exercise. As training can increase person's physical strength and his stamina. Taijutsu in a way of speaking doesn't require any chakra (It does in narutobase Role Play, but not in Narutoverse) usually, but chakra ca be used to enhance the destructive effects of taijutsu. Taijutsu doesn't require hand seals either.
In contrast to this, Ninjutsu is referred to all those techniques, which require the use of chakra. Ninjutsu requires Hand seals and it is not usually effected by the user's physical strength (though it's still not true for all the techniques). Ninjutsu is further divided into many different classes and stuff."
Taijutsu in simple words is used for hand to Hand combat. So that's where I'll mostly use it in. Close range combats mostly, but still use of jutsus is limited by user's imagination. There are several different ways of using a single technique."
Shikamaru then looked towards his sensei, hoping his answer was good enough.

That's a pretty good point of view of taijutsu. K'Tai is purely based on chakra but that's after this. Taijutsu doesn't require chakra unless it stated othervise. But regular cannon taijutsu rarely use any chakra. Lee is a perfect example since he can't use chakra.
Also, Taijutsu is usually put as Strong Fist. It delivers a powerful blunt attack contrary to Gentle Fist. Gentle Fist is swift, speedy, and accurate. Exact opposite of Strong Fist.
Yes, you'd usually use Taijutsu within Close range hence Taijutsu usually converges the principal of hand to hand combat. Once you're within range and using taijutsu, your opponent will have a very hard or no time to use ninjutsu hence they need to build up chakra along with a handseal.
A giant bird flies by overhead and the 6 Paths of Pein leap off, landing randomly around the training grounds: a bare clearing in front of a dojo. The leader, Deva, walks up to you and examines your build with his legendary eyes.
Hmm. You don't appear to be of weak constitution...i was beginning to think you were too frail to learn actual techniques. I'll see how you do with a warm up exercise. Instead of ordinary training dummies you will practice with one of us.
Deva looks around but notices the other Peins have wandered off to avoid their duties. Annoyed, he pulls one to him with gravitation and makes him stand in front of you
Strike this one with a few punches, then kicks. He can take a hit so there's no reason to hold back. Afterwards he's going to throw a couple punches at you so parry his strikes by slapping them aside with your palm. Of course, you can strike directly with a slap as well. Ready? Begin!
Tip: Make sure your reply isn't vague. I should be able to picture exactly what you're doing, where you're hitting, etc.

Sirius was sitting on the grass when he suddenly sees a giant bird flying over his head. Even though his initial instinct was to just attack the bird and roast it he instead watches it. Suddenly six people wearing same design cloaks jump off the bird and land on the ground without paying any attention to him. A guy who looked much like a leader of some punk gang with several piercings walk towards him and starts staring at him. After a while the guy speaks
"Hmm. You don't appear to be of weak constitution...i was beginning to think you were too frail to learn actual techniques. I'll see how you do with a warm up exercise. Instead of ordinary training dummies you will practice with one of us."
Sirius realizes that this guy must be his sensei, so he answers
"Well, don't judge me yet. I might just surprise you. Thanks for accepting to train me. And no need to worry, I wouldn't have held back even if you told me to Sensei"
After that he watches as his sensei pulls a guy from the other 5 towards himself as if he was magnetized. He just watches in awe. He listens intently as his sensei starts explaining him his training manual. After the explanation is done Sirius gets ready to do his training by doing some stretches.
First srius moves towards the guy that sensei told him to train with. He stands in front of him in his attack stance. After that he clenches his fist pulls it back while keeping his arm close to his body and doing a little bit of rotation. He then thrusts his fist towards the guy's face. Pein dodges it by pulling his head back but at the same time sirius had already started thrusting his other fist towards the guys gut. This one hits the guy in his abdomen but he seems okay with it. Sirius thinks maybe his punches lack power so he repeats the same several times each time aiming to hits pein's different region.
After that he moves a little back and again gets into attack stance but this time he moves his leg a little back while
doing a slight rotation and thrusts his leg forwards towards the pein's gut. Pein blocks his kick with his forearm. Sirius repeats the move several times each time attacking different regions and using both of his legs.
He then backs away a little again does the stance but this time it looks more defensive than attacking stance. he gets ready and starts thinking where will the first punch be when suddenly fist of the pein hits him in his face. Lucky for sirius pein held back a lot, but sirius learned that he needed to keep his head calm and clear of thougts. He again gets ready and this time when pein tries to punch his gut again he rotates his arm inwards doing pronation and slaps pains fist away. At the same time pein tries to punch him from other side but he was ready and does the same thing with his other arm and slaps the fist away from him. He then moves towards his sensei and asks
Pein paced back and forth watching Sirius' movements as he fought. He was glad to see Sirius wasn't floundering about performing basic moves.
Good enough, but we are only just beginning. See that slacker over there? Give him a good flying kick to get him off his feet. Your leg should be strait and tilted sideways when it hits, backed by the momentum and weight of your body. Aim for the head.
He points to a Pein reading a comic having nothing to do with ninja. Preposterous. Not a manga in sight.

After sirius was done, sensei seemed to be quite satisfied with his performance and said, "Good enough, but we are only just beginning. See that slacker over there? Give him a good flying kick to get him off his feet. Your leg should be strait and tilted sideways when it hits, backed by the momentum and weight of your body. Aim for the head."
After listening to his instructions sirius just replied, "Aye, Sir." He then turned his face towards the pein that sensei pointed to and started running towards him. As he reached near the pein, with a quick motion he turned himself a little sideways and used his right leg to push himself up from the ground and also thurst him towards the pain. While the push from his leg gave him quite the momentum, he straightened his left leg mid air with his right leg folded, and aimed right for peins head who was unaware of sirius. Leg hit pein in the head sending him flying away. The comic dropped out of his hand, which sirius picked up and burnt.

Thoroughly defeated in more ways than one, the Pein is dragged away by another.
Perfect. The next two should be even easier for you. The first is a single, strong punch striking the enemy's chest. It relies more on brute strength than technique. The second is a running tackle slamming the enemy into the ground. It's fundamental to lower your body before "diving" at the the enemy and driving your shoulder into his abdomen. A floored opponent is a vulnerable one. It's best to take advantage of it before they return to their feet. Get ready.

After listening to next set of instructions crowley quickly turns his attention towards the pein that had taken fighting stance and went near him, after that he quickly pulls his right arm behind his body and then with a quick strong movement thrusts it into the peins chest the force knocks the pein off balance. As the pein takes few steps back to regain his balance, crowley quickly bends his knees a little and gets into tackling stance. After a moment he launches himself forward using push from his right foot and hits the pein's abdomen with his right shoulder, who had just regained his balance and knocks him down on the ground.
After that crowley gets up and stretches his shoulder and looks towards sensei and asks, "Was that okay, Sensei?"
Good job. You're ready to finish the remaining D-ranks. The first is a rear spinning low kick but don't be fooled by its simplicity. Striking the enemy's lower body will throw him off balance and leave him open to further attacks. With enough practice you could send someone twice your size flying with ease. Get ready.

(Konoha Reppū) - Leaf Gale
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points:20
Description: This technique is a good example of how even simple taijutsu can become a pre-eminently destructive, lethal technique. The attack is a simple rear spinning low kick, but a strong enough user can send a large adult flying as if they weighed nothing. The goal is to throw the enemy off balance, and deal damage to the lower half of their body.
This technique involves a bit of deception. Two successive spinning kicks are launched at your enemy,aimed high then low toward the rib cage. The initial high kick is merely a feint, his reaction to it improving your chance of landing the next kick. Give it a try.

(Konoha Senpū) - Leaf Hurricane
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 20
Description: A taijutsu where one launches a succession of high kicks and low kicks. Firstly, the opponent's evasion margin is restrained upon seeing the high kick, thus augmenting the chances for the low kick to hit the mark connecting to the rib cage area. So originally the high kick is little more than a feint.
After listening to sensei's instructions Crowley quickly turns his attention towards the pein charging at him with a punch. He then runs towards the pein and just when he is about to get hit in the face he quickly does a anti-clockwise rotation lowering his center of gravity and sitting on his right leg and left leg extended. With this quick motion he hits the pein in legs after a full rotation and sends the pein flying like rotators of a malfunctioned helicopter.
After that he turns his attention towards the pein standing at a distance and looking at him like an angry bull. He runs towards him and then jumps up to try and kick the pein in face while doing rotation just like before. The pein sees the kick coming and tries to evade it by ducking. This is what crowley wanted as he follows through his kick and quickly recoils from the ground using the momentum of his earlier kick and rotation. He does a second kick on the pein who was trying to recover after that ducking, and hits him on the rib cage with more momentum then the first kick due to recoiling from the ground.
Excellent. Let's move you up to a set of three. The next technique is a swift upward kick aimed beneath the enemy's head. When performing the kick you must tilt your upper body back to gather power, much like how a bent stick will lash out when one side is let go. If done correctly, your attack should launch your enemy high into the sky. It's an ideal counter in certain situations and can set up a variety of devastating combos. Give it a shot.
(Konoha Shōfū) – Leaf Rising Wind
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: This technique uses the entire body as a spring, by amassing power through taking a posture where the back of the body falls down. With this powerful taijutsu, the user kicks just above the head. Because the power of the kick from the ground is instantly converted into a blow, the enemy hit with this attack will be launched high into the sky.
Here we have a supplementary move that can place you in an advantageous position for other attacks. First, launch your enemy into the air and then follow them while matching their movement almost like you are their shadow. From there you may attack as you wish. This move doesn't necessarily need to be be done in midair but it becomes very difficult to pull off otherwise. Try it out. I recommend using the technique you just learned followed by this one.

(Kage Buyō) - Shadow of the Dancing Leaf
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 5
Description: A technique where one follows the opponent, closely matching his or her body's movement, just like a leaf that dances in the air is followed by its shadow. The technique is usually preceded by a swift upper kick that will launch the target into the air. It is mainly used to position an opponent into a vulnerable aerial position. This move by itself is harmless, but it is usable as a stepping stone for a great many powerful techniques like Front Lotus and the Lion Combo. That said, it also has a rather high degree of difficulty.
Next is another aerial move that deal damage without striking. As your enemy is falling, merely grab their ankles and wrap your legs around their waist. This leaves them helpless as you drive them head first into the ground. Send him airborne before implementing the technique.

Description: The user grabs a falling opponent by their ankles, wraps his legs around their waist, and drives them head first into the ground, similar to the Front Lotus.
After listening to sensei's instructions crowley quickly starts running towards the pein who was running to attack him, and just as he is near the pein and about to be punched he moves quickly and gets below the pein in such a way that his legs are facing upwards while his head is downwards. Then with a quick motion using the momentum by pushing on the earth with his left hand and left leg, he kicks the pein just below the chin with his right leg sending the pein flying upwards.
After that he turns his attention towards the other pein running towards him and kicks him in the same way as the one before him. As he is done with that quickly pushes himself off the ground by jumping and gets behind the pein he just kicked into the air as if he was the pein's shadow, and attacks him with a kunai in the back.
After that he quickly turns his attention towards the pein that is shouting insults at him. He gets angry and runs towards the pein, just as he gets near the pein he does the new trick he learned and just as with peins before this one, he kicks it in the chin and sends it flying towards the sky. After that he quickly jumps in the air before the pein that was just sent flying upwards and while in the sky he captures the peins arms and legs with his own arms and legs, in such a way that pein's head is directed towards the ground. Restricting peins movements with his hands and legs wrapped around him, he drives the peins head into the ground just like a pile driver.
You're progressing well. Keep up that pace. The next three moves are very similar, the only difference being the direction of the strike. They are all palm strikes but unlike Gentle Fist, they are anything but gentle. Relying on brute strength and weight you want to crush your enemy with your attack, like a sumo wrestler. First one is a downward thrust driving your enemy into the ground. Then its a upward thrust aimed at the abdomen of your enemy that should lift him into the air. The last is a forward thrust, throwing him backwards. Perform them in any order you wish. Begin!

Crowley after listening to sensei's instructions quickly turns his attention towards the pein that sensei called for him. He moves towards it and just when he is at a little distance from him quickly pushes his arm backwards and then with a quick motion thrusts his palm into pein's chest forwardly sending pein backwards a little. After that he quickly moves towards the pein and strikes it again but this time instead of forward strike he does an upward strike. This send pein a little high from the ground. After that crowley quickly jumps above the pein and again with a quick and powerful motion strikes the pein in chest with his palm, but this time strikes it in downwards direction sending pein crashing into ground below. He then stands above the pein's head triumphantly.
Excellent. The next set features more basic but fundamental techniques. This one's a simple shoulder thrust. Turn sideways and throw your body into your enemy, bashing them hard with your shoulder. The goal is to knock your opponent off balance, which can leave them vulnerable to a follow up attack. Take down this lightweight.

After listening to sensei's instructions crowley turns his attention towards the pein that had a football in his hands. He starts running towards the pein . As he gets closer to the pein hi quickly turns his upper body a little sideways and hits the pein in the chest knocking him off his feet and making him fall several steps back. He then picks up the ball and kicks it away..
After that as sensei order a pein to rush towards crowley, he quickly turns his body towards the pein nd start running towards him. Just as he gets close to the pein, he is attacked by a punch which he avoids by getting lower and getting just in front of pein. He uses his momentum from getting low and does an upwards jump with his knee aimed right for peins chin. This lifts the pein off his feet and fall backwards on the ground.
After that as he listens to sensei's explanation, crowley quickly turns towards the pein who looked quite eager to fight. He goes near the pein and gets in his fighting stance before, quickly doing a right left combo at pein's face followed by a quick punch to the center of peins chest. third punch sends pein few steps back. Crowley uses this time to do a quick kick at the back of peins head which makes the pein get in bowing position. Crowley then kicks the pin with his foot in the chest area making pein get back in straight position before again doing a right left punch combo at his face.
Not bad, though your movements are lacking a certain level of precision. Show me that you're capable of mastering the more complex moves ahead. Now then, i want you to strike your enemy with a series of kicks while rotating, going from a low kick and rising to a middle kick, then high kick, and lastly a heel drop slamming your enemy onto the ground. As the speed of your rotation increases you would gain buoyancy necessary to keep striking your target as you both rise. Get ready.

Next is a technique similar to Thrusting Shoulder you learned earlier. Charge into your enemy with a shoulder strike followed by a strong punch with the opposite arm. It's an effective combination since the first attack will likely knock the enemy off balance and leave them vulnerable to the next attack. Give him a break.

We move onto a unique technique that's more of a fighting style than a particular attack. It requires you to attack fiercely and unpredictably without caution to yourself or your enemy. The element of unpredictability comes from erratic, uneven movements resembling that of a drunk person who even when standing appears to struggle keeping their balance. It helps to an extent when avoiding attacks as well. Without thoughts making you hesitate, your strikes would be more powerful, thrown without restraint. Attack your target with a series of strikes however you'd like, a total of 12. There he is.
