You have my sincerest apologies for this reply taking as long as it has. It's been difficult to post these last few days, what with the whole "site not live" thing, and the new Cloudflare(?) thing. It's deleted my reply, like, twice. It's no excuse, but I'm sorry nonetheless. Anyway, let's get started. 
It was another beautiful day at the training grounds. The sun was high in the sky, light wisps of clouds slowly drifting through the sky above, while birds filled the lands below with their sweet song. Everything was as tranquil as could be for the Noldor student-to-be while they waited for the arrival of their Sensei. However, unbeknownst to them, the Sensei they were about to meet was the exact opposite of the locale for their training session. Subtle, tranquil, peaceful, none of these could be used to describe the man racing towards the training grounds... Barrelling through the trees and air above the lush forests which surrounded the training grounds, a rather bulky, muscular man in very flashy, almost comical attire, noticed the young woman below, and began his immediate descent. Crashing into the ground below at near-inhuman speeds, yet rising from the resulting crater completely unscathed, the tall blonde figure then approached the young woman through the sea of dust and debris, announcing his arrival.
"It's all right now. Why? Because I am here!!"
As he gave a slight bow, he pounded his chest with his fist, almost in a form of salute, the sound from the action echoing through the tree's in the surroundings for several moments. His mouth curled and unravelled into what can only be described as the most sincerest of hearty smiles, which, upon the sun's rays hitting the perfectly formed smile, caused them to glimmer and shine with an intense lustrous light. A boisterous laughter then filled the air, as he extended his hand to the young woman, introducing himself.
"Ahahaha!! Hello there young one. I recieved word from a fellow teacher that you're looking for someone who can teach you how to use the training implements and weapons known as "Leg Weights". I may not be the one you asked for, but I would be honoured to teach you how to utilize such valuable tools!! Hahahaha!!"
The man scratched the side of his head, unsure what to call his student, besides "young one" or "young lady". In that respect, with his hand still stretched out in a gesture of friendship and respect, he introduced himself. Properly this time.
He waited for the young woman's response, before retracting his hand whether she took it or not, and taking a few steps back, signalling the start of the lesson.
Once again, a hearty laughter drowned the surroundings of the jovial disposition of the rather odd, stocky man. He seemed like someone who would take the world as it was, and roll with the punches. Surely this was not a man who lead the life of a Shinobi, hidden in shadows. This man clearly revelled being in the limelight, and helping as many as possible, without any form of subterfuge. Saving the world with just his hands, and fists when necessary... For such a man, passing his knowledge on to a new generation was a refreshing challenge, yet one he would give his all, plus ultra.

"Forgive me my lack of manners, I am the almighty Hero of Justice, and Symbol of Peace, All Might!! Nice to meet your acquaintance...?"
He waited for the young woman's response, before retracting his hand whether she took it or not, and taking a few steps back, signalling the start of the lesson.
"Now, the first thing I would like you to do is tell me, in however many words you'd like, about Taijutsu, and the tools you will be learning about today. I'm sure you've already gone through your fair share of hardships in regards to explanations and the like on your path here. This isn't so much of a proper requirement, I'd simply like to gauge your aptitude for myself, and make sure you know exactly what you are getting into with this training. Whenever you are ready, give it your all, and go beyond!!"

As her teacher was seemingly late to the session, Illyintra closed her eyes and listened intensely.Being the skilled elf she was, her hearing was definitely up to par. A bit stronger than the average shinobi. Hearing a trampling sound in the distance, she opened her eyes to find something come from the trees, similar to a monkey. As the figure revealed, she stood there, not moving an inch as he dropped down, creating a hole that probably not even Illyintra could create at least by physical means alone. It was impressive. As the dust kicks up and the sheer force of the blow to the ground blew out an intense gust of wind, again, Intra did not move a muscle as her hair blew in the gust of wind the blow had created. She looked on and was seemingly unimpressed, but this was just how she was. Mentally she thought it was pretty awesome.
As the man made a very awkward introduction and stuck his hand out, Intra hesitantly interlocked hands with him in a warm greeting. "Illyintra. Leader of the elves." As she listened further, he asked her basically what the body arts and leg weights were. Of course, at this stage in her life, being all that she learned and the position she held within her clan and village, she was very well-versed in all arts. Especially the arts of the body. Inhaling slightly, Intra spoke to explain... "Taijutsu is the art of the body, physical arts. It's about endurance, how much your body can take and in which ways you perform this. This can be described as punches, kicks, headbutts, elbows, etc. It also has to do with your speed. Speaking of speed, Leg Weights help just that. Speed. I am led to believe I train day in and day out with these weights, getting used to their weight on daily tasks so that way, when it starts to feel like my normal body weight, when I take them off, I become a whole new me in a physical sense, becoming a lot more fast as the weight is subtracted. Is that about right?.." Illyintra asked.

As she introduced herself, the Hero breathed a slight sigh of relief. Despite her outward appearance being rather intimidating, she seemed to be no less polite than anyone else the man, Toshinori, had become acquainted with. Of course, none of them could lay claim to being the leader of an entire race, so manners were no doubt expected Illyintra. It wouldn't do well for the Leader to make enemies for an entire race.
With another uproarious laugh, he reached into a pouch on his belt, and removed a relatively small (to him) bundle of green fabric. Grasping two corners of the fabric, one in each hand, he gave it a mighty shake, revealing a hideous green one-size-fits-all tracksuit, the kind worn by the Taijutsu enthusiasts of Konoha. As he handed the crime against fashion to Illyintra, and took several steps back, turning his back, he detailed her first section of this training.
Toshinori patiently waited for the young woman to change outfits, far too polite to turn back before he heard to sounds of Illyintra's fists smash into one of the scarecrow-like dummies of the training ground.
"Ah, Illyintra. I don't believe I've ever encountered one of your kind before, so I consider it an honour that I would meet the Leader first. However, we didn't come here to make idle chatter over our bloodlines, did we? In that spirit, let's get started, shall we?!"

of one as we speak, hahaha!! First I would like you to put it on, then show me exactly what you are capable of without any external influences, such as the Weights you are here to learn, from impeding your abilities. If you would be so kind as to demonstrate on one of the training dummies littered throughout the field, we can move on to the next phase."Toshinori patiently waited for the young woman to change outfits, far too polite to turn back before he heard to sounds of Illyintra's fists smash into one of the scarecrow-like dummies of the training ground.
