Okay, it seems Kiritsugu was approved, so I'll use him for the first time. :3
Darkened times, Kiritsugu had begun a new venture in his life. Teaching. Something he never thought he'd do. However, he was now going to pass on some knowledge, something that not many knew. A specific skill, known as Kaito's Taijutsu, derived from the legendary Kaito, a man who was a master of Taijutsu. The Sage of Mind, Body and Soul. Kiritsugu shook his head as he got lost in thought, and with his dark attire, he made his way to the training field. Kiritsugu could taste the chakra signature from afar.
"He's already here.."
He thought. No worries, he was prepared. His hair was messy as usual, and his demeanor, serious.
"Manasseth, was it? Let's get straight to it. Kaito's Taijutsu, a very rare skill. What do you know about it?"
He asks, having already read a bit on the man. Kiritsugu always did research before facing someone, or in this case, teaching someone.

Manasseth spaced out for a bit while waiting for his teacher. He remembered the reason why he was here in the first place... *flashback* In the library he was, in the restricted section. Manasseth came across something rather odd about a bit of rare taijutsu. It's called, as he understood it: "Kaito's Taijutsu". He didn't fully understand it, so he sought someone who had knowledge of it. *end of flashback* His teacher had now arrived, Manasseth saluted him by nodding his head once coupled with a hand gesture.
Thank you for coming, Kiritsugu san.
After his teacher spoke, Manasseth answered with what he knew, or thought he knew.
Alright, so from what I've read, Kaito's Taijutsu is pretty much, well, taijutsu. However what makes it stand out from normal taijutsu is that it focuses more on adding chakra onto one's techniques in order to enhance the damage delivered and give it a bit more of a unique taste, so to speak. Both elemental and non-elemental chakra seem to be implemented from what I remember.

Listening to Mannaseth, Kiritsugu merely nodded his head in agreement. Unlike many other skills, Kaito's Taijutsu wasn't a very theoretical skill, but rather, a more practical one.
"Good job, Kaito's Taijutsu was original created by Zenryoku, now known as Nirvana. This man was the Sage of Mind, Body and Soul. He had mad skills with Taijutsu, and was capable of holding his own, even against those who specialized in Elemental Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. After retiring, he made it possible for some to learn his skills, separated into the basics and restricted. I only know the basics, and that's what I will be teaching you. Kaito's Taijutsu encompasses different forms of fighting, combined with non-elemental chakra and elemental chakra, for devastating effects.
Nonetheless, let us begin. I will explain the technique to you, then I want you to perform it against a clone of mine, and then give me a small analysis on the technique. This analysis can include what you like about the technique, its strengths and weaknesses etc."
"Now the first technique is quite simple, yet fairly effective. Run towards the opponent, and jump upwards, at around head height. As you do so, you will charge your legs and feet with chakra, and perform a double kick, aimed at the opponent's chest. This causes more damage then a normal kick, due to the charging of chakra. This technique utilizes a form of Chinese Martial Arts, known as Crazy Monkey. Very useful. Use it against my clone."
Kiritsugu says, as he creates a clone that runs towards Mannaseth.

Truly sorry for the late reply.
---------------------
Manasseth began to admire the man Kiritsugu-san spoke of. To hold his own against elemental ninjutsu and genjutsu with the use of martial arts seemed really impressive to the student. Manasseth himself doubted that he'll be capable of doing the same, he however kept a positive attitude and focused on figuring out how he'll apply these skills to his own fighting style.
After attentively listening to his teacher, Manasseth noticed the appearance of a clone, which was now rushing towards him. Mana does the same and runs at the clone to close the distance faster. While at short range and few moments before reaching kicking distance from the clone, Mana jumped upward/forward and slightly crouched while in mid air. With the mid air crouch motion, he also concentrated a portion of his chakra onto his own feet and legs. Strength was put into this jump to make Mana's center body somewhat higher than the clone's head height while the feet and legs were slightly below head height. The moment he reached kicking distance, Mana had kept the focused chakra in his feet and legs and started off with a kick from the right foot quickly followed by a left one aimed at the clone's chest. The two kicks were made in quick succession and not with a long time gap between one another so that both would connect on the clone before the clone and Mana would be pushed away from kicking reach.
Mana gave the technique a quick thought before giving his opinion about it.
Although it seems like a very basic technique, I'm actually fond of "evasion + counter attack" type techniques and "Crazy Monkey" seem to be one of those. The jumping part of the technique allows you to evade lower attacks. Maybe a low kick or even a rather small ninjutsu that was only aimed at your chest height and below. Another thing I notice is that if the opponent does manage to grab one of your incoming kicks, you'll still have a free leg that you could use to perform another move in response. As for things that might be disadvantageous... if we are airborne then we already become a bit more restricted when it comes to movements and we'd probably give more openings for our opponents to attack us. Hmm...
Uncertain of whether he should have said more, Mana awaits Kiritsugu's response.

"That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Good job on the performance, I think my clone felt that hit. Anyway, let's move on to the next technique."
Kiritsugu looked through his small suitcase, in order to find the next scroll. There were still many left, but they had time.
"Next, we got a technique where you will jump into the air and perform a forward somersault as you do so. As you flip forward, you will deliver two kicks to the opponent's shoulders, and a last one, to the opponent's head. Since your legs are charged with chakra, they cause extra damage. An odd technique, but still an effective one. One has to take into account the problems one would face with performing a somersault so close, yet think of the advantage of landing such a hit. Use it against my clone, plus analyze it as before."
Kiritsugu then creates a clone that runs towards Mannaseth.

Ok, let's do eht.
Mana hastily approached the clone to get things done quicker. He jumped forward/upward in a different manner compared to the previous technique in order to achieve the somersault few moments before reaching kicking distance. He jumped while at short range from the clone. As he performed the somersault, Mana focused his chakra into his feet and legs. By the time Mana almost finished the somersault, he was within kicking reach, and so, began his sequence of kicks. As his body got respositioned with his upper body upward and lower body downward, Mana's right foot (heel part) powerfully descended upon the clone's left shoulder. An identical descending kick got delivered from Mana's left foot to the clone's right shoulder while at the same time Mana lifted his right foot again to deliver yet another identical kick. However, this time the kick descended upon the clone's head to knock him down. Those three kicks happened in quick succession then Manasseth landed on ground again.
He stretched his back then turned towards Kiritsugu-san. There were few things he noticed with this technique
If I wanna start off with the negative... Hmm, I've got to say I don't like loosing sight of my opponent. Somersaulting does exactly that. What's good is that the kicks are stronger when delivered downwards. This helps us put more power behind our kicks and maybe it's just me, but we seem to have better control of our landing. Another nice thing is that even if we don't complete all three kicks, even one seem to be enough to break a shoulder. That means harder time to carry a weapon or even use their arm.

"Good points, oddly enough, I feel the same way. Losing sight of your opponent, at a such a close range, can be dangerous. Anyway, here you go."
"Next, an odd technique which requires you to stand in the Crane position. Your arms will be positioned parallel to the ground, and your right leg will be towards your body (inwards, you will stand on your left leg). You will then jump off your left leg, and perform a devastating kick to the opponent's face with your right. The right leg is charged with chakra, which causes great damage. Use it against my clone."

Manasseth closed his eyes and took his time to imagine the crane position in his mind. His fish brain made it take so much time that some people could've said that 4 months have passed. That's how much it took him.
As the clone approaches Mana, the student keeps standing with his left foot on the ground, keeping his body balanced while assuming the crane position. He does so by lifting his arms in front of himself, parallel to the ground and have them face the clone. As for his right leg, he raises it up toward his upper body and bent his right knee while charging chakra into the entirety of his right leg. Once the clone got within kicking range, Manasseth stretches his raised right leg forward, towards the clone's face as a kick. As this attack connects, the clone is sent backward in a more powerful manner compared to if there was no chakra added to the kick.
To be honest, this type of attack is not to my taste. The stance which I assumed doesn't seem to provide any dodge manoeuvre and would probably make me more vulnerable against non-frontal attacks. The only time I find this useful is if our opponent is moving in a straight line toward us and while seemingly being unable to make sudden changes in their trajectory. Probably if they were sent flying at us.

"Indeed, good job, Mannaseth."
"Now, the next technique is an odd one and quite famous too, known as the round house kick. You will start off by pivoting on one foot, and jump into the air. You will then charge your chakra into the other leg and use it to deliver a powerful spin based kick to the opponent's face, sending them flying backwards. It's quite brutal if it lands. Use it against my clone."

Manasseth adjusts his stance in preparation as the clone approaches. He assumes a steady stance, feet about shoulder length apart, his right foot a little way back. As the clone almost got within kicking range, Mana jumped with his left leg while pivoting on his left foot to turn his body (anti-clockwise) as he jumped. At the same time, he brought his right leg up and to the side. As he does so, he bends it back upon itself and brings the bent leg up so that the right knee is pointing out to the side while leaning his upper body in the opposite direction for balance. And the moment this clone got within kicking range, Mana charges his right leg with chakra and snaps it forward. Doing so extends the leg in a sudden but smooth motion, making contact with the clone's face in a quite powerful manner that sends the clone flying backwards. This all happens in a short duration of time and then Manasseth landed to the ground.
It seem to be known for being quite effective. I see it as a nice attack that arrives at the opponent's side, maybe forcing them to preoccupy some of their limbs to protect against it from side which it comes from. I think this would make our adversary more vulnerable to frontal attacks. It also allows us to evade the likes of low-kicks while also delivering a counter attack, which seems cool. What I think might be disadvantageous is abandoning ground surface for a brief moment. If our adversary grabs one of our limbs while airborne then our balance will likely get messed up.

"Good job, Mannaseth."
"Now, for the next technique, hold your hands like they are actually Tiger Claws and jump towards the opponent. Charge them with chakra, and clap the opponent's head, behind the ears. As you do so, charge your right knee with chakra, and pull the opponent's head down onto said knee, breaking his nose. A pretty brutal techniques, but a useful one nonetheless."
