Taijutsu techniques are the body and hand to hand skills of the ninja. Taijutsu techniques do not require hand seals. Instead the ninja will train their body in different forms of fighting. A ninja can also use their inherent Bloodline abilities when doing Taijutsu techniques. Clans such as Hyuuga can utilize their ability to see the inner chakra channels of their opponent and then stop the flow, or utilize the Kaiten technique to form a protective barrier by releasing chakra from their body.

Examples include: Bunshin Kaiten Kakatou Otoshi - Clone Spinning Heel Drop, Asakujaku - Morning Peacock, and Choudan Bakugeki - Butterfly-Bomb Bombardment

*walks in, creates a bunch of Shadow Clones* Hello student! I'm Souji Seta of Konoha, and I'll be taking over from here.

What you said was a short but correct answer. However, I think you're missing a key component of Taijutsu... I'm sure you know what it is, so I'll see if you get it.

Also, you mentioned the Hyuuga's Gentle Fist. That's a Taijutsu-based fighting style. I want you to compare and contrast that fighting style to Strong Fist.

I'll fill in any points you've missed.

Alright, go ahead! ^_^

*my clones start doing stretches and whatnot while I wait for your answer*

(Let me know if you prefer 1st or 3rd person RP)

1st person is fine


"Gentle Fist circles around the Byakugan and its uncanny ability to see chakra points of the human body and by extension chakra flow. Gentle Fist attacks these points with various effects using their hands as the main weapons and even allow the user to release chakra from his own chakra points to perform both offensive and defensive manuevers. Strong Fist is basic taijutsu with no true advantage except a slight speed edge and the option to transcend regular ninja movements and possibilities with the EIG. Both have their weaknesses and advantages but one I would prefer Strong Fist just for the EIG option."

Shuffling my feet from left to right I kept my head down, I had absolutely no knowledge on Taijutsu whatsoever.

Remember, Taijutsu requires no chakra to use, unless you have special moves that allow you to do so. You are correct... Gentle Fist relies on open palmed strikes that attack chakra pathways, closing, opening, or even severing them. They can paralyze your enemy and render them unable to use ninjutsu. You can even consider Strong Fist as an opposite to Gentle Fist, because it deals blunt-force damage through hard attacks.

*I note my student's perceived shyness and encourage him nicely* Don't worry, we're here to learn. I was in your shoes during my time. It's my job to pass on knowledge to the next generation, so let's have fun! *grins*

Let's practice with our very first jutsu! *jokingly, chuckling a little* This jutsu is perhaps the most powerful you'll ever learn. Take a fighting stance you're comfortable with... something that's grounded and ready to react at any time! Example... left foot forward, right foot back. Figure out what you like the best.

Then, once you've taken your stance, go behind one of my clones and form the Tiger handseal. Squat and pierce your upright fingers into his... butt. Going to be blunt about that, HA!

Did you know? You can hold a kunai or explosive tag while forming the handseal for more damage!

Go ahead and try it out. I'll judge your performance, so make sure you try your best.

(Sennen Goroshi) - 1000 Years Of Death
Rank:E
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:5(apply damage cost for kunai and explosives separately if either or both are used with this jutsu)
Description:The user makes the sign of the tiger and force able punches it into the enemy's behind.

Listening carefully and nodding in intervals to show my interest I didn't wait until sensei was finish before I started visualizing my fighting stance (hands raised eye level right slightly forward, body slightly turned with right foot forward and left foot behind for support/power). Then, as I heard the objective a very childish laughter was beginning to make its way from my diaphram, I quickly masked this by daring behind the clone and formed the Tiger hand seal.

Can't believe I'm really doing this *sigh*​

Then.... it happened. I plunged both fingers up the poor clones buttocks sending the being flying in pain while poofing from existence, what a short lived and painful life. I then turned to sensei, childish chuckle still in my stomach

"Does that mean you felt that too sensei?"​

(That was great. Keep it up :) )

I swear, I didn't feel it...

*unknown to you, I rubbed my butt a little Lol*

Good, very good! I liked how you paid attention to your stance and performed it with gusto. From now on, you'll get to beat up as many clones of me as you want, so we can get practice in!

Now, for the D-rank jutsus. These are simple taijutsu moves, but use them right, and even they'll cause some pain.

The first technique is a simple, strong punch towards your opponent's chest. It may seem simple, but if you punch them correctly, you can cause them to bend over or even get pushed back! Your execution is key.

(Gangeki) - Rock Attack
Rank: D
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 20
Description: The user will strike their opponent with a strong punch to the chest.

For the second jutsu, you jump forward and kick your opponent's face. Sound familiar? It's the Dynamic Entry, famously used by Gai and Rock Lee! I fully expect to see your YOUTH!

(Dainamikku Entori) - Dynamic Entry
Rank: D
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:20
Description:A taijutsu attack were the user does a jumping kick into the opponents face.

What I want you to do is to perform both of these moves in a simple combination attack against one of my clones. Try to make your movements and executions flow, such that it's fast and hard to counter.

Whenever you're ready!

Running up to the clone without another word from the sensei I ducked under it's mediocre punch and twisted my fist against my chest before releasing it in a spiralling punch to the clones stomach, similar to a Shoryuken, sending it in the air. Then, after running a little distance to catch up to the airborne opponent, as he gathered his bearings from such a devastating punch I jumped off both feet, keeping the left tucked to my body and the right outstretched in full Taijutsu glory. The kick connected with the clone's face sending it sprawling in a rubble of bones and smoke and ash.
"Booyah, was that enough sensei?"

(WOW. That gif was absolutely perfect. Great job ^_^)

*The clone gets fodderized*

I'm impressed! Really, I am. *grins*

Alright. Same exercise! The first jutsu is a spinning low kick which is supposed to throw an enemy off balance. The low kick sweeps them off their feet, leaving them helpless to more ownage! Make sure you execute it correctly and thoroughly.

(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.

The second technique is a series of kicks from high and low zones. The high zones of the body are from the chest up, and the low zones are below the chest. High kicks for this technique distract and shift your opponent's vision to the path of the kick, leaving them unaware and unable to defend from the follow up low kicks. So basically, you fake with the high kicks and attack with the low kicks! Got it?

(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.

Try a combination again on this clone over here *I grab one of my clones by the ear (comically) and place him in front of you*

Note his reactions to your techniques and how he gets impacted, and focus on your movements and stances.

Go ahead!

I start by charging towards the clone, keeping a low center of gravity during the sprint. Then, as I reached his position I leaned on my left foot while tilting my body to the left and swung an extended right foot in an arc like manner- to the full extent of my hip joint. As I did this I clawed the clone's foot from the ground, lifting his left leg upwards and sending him off balance. I then followed up by slamming my left palm on the ground sending my right side airborne. In a few milliseconds my body was completely in the air doing a 360 degree spin. Using this momentum I swung my right foot to connect with the neck before ducking again and doing a follow up spin, keeping my ducking motion to target the already unbalanced feet. For the final hit I came to a skidding halt mid spin while my back is facing the dazed clone and came around with a rising right leg sending it straight into the air to land a few meters away.

"Phew, that one made me break a sweat!"

Your performance was spot on. Apologies for not continuing quickly... we'll get right back into it ^^

"Hut hut!!"

Running towards the clone I kept my shoulders low, and my arms tucked into my body reducing drag and increasing aero fancy stuff. As I neared him I extended NY arms at the elbow joint as if hugging him but aimed at his waist and lower body. Tackling him roughly we both fell gingerly on the dusty training grounds. The football still standing perfectly upright.

Dat defense doe. MVP! MVP!

Lol! Good work. Time for the C-rank techniques!

This one has an elaborate explanation, but it's actually very simple. Bend both of your legs while squatting, and push upward with all your might, springing upward while one of your legs is stretched outward. This creates a springboard attack where your forward momentum causes your leg to smash into the opponent. The nature of this attack sends your opponent upward, leaving them super vulnerable to a combo jutsu.

Alright, try it on my clone here.

(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.

Oh boy! C ranks!!

Crouching moderately low, with my hands level with my knees and bracing very heavily on my toes I sort of gathered some energy. You know, Taijutsu Potential Energy. Then I sprang up from my toes with a lot of energy being released from my thighs and lower legs, while launching upright I kept one foot tucked against my body and the other outstretched. Placing all the released energy into one foot to make it appear like a kick when in fact its just my launching motion. The kick connected in the clone's stomach forcing his body to lurch forward from the inertia and ultimately into the air a few meters.

"Up..up..and away !!"

Looks like my clone's blasting off again! *clone flies upward into the sky, disappearing with a shining light*

Smooth moves. I seriously like your dedication even for the simplest techniques.

*stretches* Moving onward. These next three jutsus are all compliments of each other, very simple.

The first one's an open palm thrust, and you strike your opponent in such a way that they are pushed downward.

(Asshō) - Pressure Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user strikes their opponent with a downwards thrust striking them to the floor.

The second one is the same thing, but you strike them in the abdomen, pushing them upward instead.

(Shōgekishō) - Upwards Attacking Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user strikes their opponent with an upwards thrust into the abdomen lifting them into the air.

Finally, this third one is a palm thrust too, but this one pushes them forward.

(Hōshō) - Crumbling Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user strikes the opponent with a forwarding palm thrust.

Use all three in a smooth combination, allowing a logical flow of events for the fastest and most efficient attack. I'll see how you do. So whenever you're ready!

I was born ready *insert explosion glasses walking away gif*

I quickly relieved myself of the previous exhaustion with a sharp exhale and a few on the spot runs, pumping my muscles again. This time I advanced on the clone in a quick step, sending on my right foot forward and leaving the left behind, this caused my body to have a slanted entry, perfect for the technique I was performing. With this quick sudden motion I didn't have to out stretch my palm much to deliver a crippling blow to the Solar Plexus, winding the clone and leaving his heart in an irregular pattern. Then, taking advantage of this quick weakness I delivered an to the clone's abdomen area, leaning in a little bit more of course. Then, as the body followed the logic path of upwards I brought my left foot forward, effectively bringing my entire body forward. This forward motion was to catch up to the now airborne clone and to transfer the energy to my left hand to deliver a to the back of the neck, sending it back into the ground after a very brief flight.

That was wonderful.

*claps*

Although next time, for even better clarification, indicate which hand performs the attack (left or right) to ensure there are absolutely no errors or anything they can call you out on :)

Combo time once more! These jutsus are relatively simple, as is Tai in general, but we'll fine tune you until Gai-sensei himself gets jealous xD

Alright. This one has you striking your shoulder against your opponent, dealing blunt force damage. I like to do this as a seamless transition from a forward dash, as my forward momentum increases the strength of the jutsu.

(Tokken) - Thrusting Shoulder
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will jump into the opponent thrusting their shoulder to strike them.

The second one is an upward knee thrust. Get them in the groin for even more damage if you know what I mean ;)

(Shōshitsu) - Rising Knee
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will strike their opponent with an upwards thrust with their knee.

Same exercise. GO!

"Ok this seems to talk about power more than technique, either way I'll do it sensei."

Ducking well low below my opponent's vision I braced my entire body weight on my left leg, which was set a few inches behind the right while my body twisted, storing energy. Then, with a sharp exhale I released the energy, using the left leg as a spring as I brought my right folded leg to smash my knee into the chest of the opponent, sending him upwards. Then, in a quick motion I retracted my right leg and extended my left hand to grab the opponent's shirt/clothes/whatever :p and pull him in while tucking my right hand and right foot towards my body. Still being on my extended left foot, I used the last of the stored energy to push off from my toes and thrust my body into the air. With my right hand and right foot tucked into my body a simple mid air twist was enough to give my left shoulder all the room to smash into the airborne opponent, after reeling him in that manner.

Smooth U_U

Happy new year! ^^

This one only works when an opponent's falling form the air. They'll be falling downward headfirst, and you'll jump in the opposite direction upward. Grab them by the ankles and wrap your legs around their waist, driving them downward like a pile driver, headfirst into the ground.

(Hayabusa Otoshi) - Peregrine Falcon Drop
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 30
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.

For this exercise, use this jutsu, "Dynamic Action", to flip towards your opponent. This closes the distance between you and the opponent, and use a set of free-form punches and kicks for a total of 7 attacks to bring your opponent into the air. Got it?

(Dainamikku Akushon) - Dynamic Action
Rank: C
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points: 30
Description: The user flips towards the opponent and attacks with a series of punches and kicks equaling 7 attacks.

Basically, use Dynamic Action to bring them upward, and while they're falling, follow up with Peregrine Falcon Drop! :)
