Why you steal my avatar. >.<
And ya, I wanted to try something different than post technique, have you perform technique, move on to next technique.
Now, sand as you should already know has tremendous defensive abilities. Tell me why sand makes for such a strong defense and how sand can be used defensively.

>.< I didnt exactly steal it. I just chose one at random. Dont worry pretty soon Ill have a new one. My inbox is flooding with new avatar an sigs from everyone who entered my contest searching for a chance at premium membership.
Sand is great for defense, as it can move very quickly to aid the user. Sand can clog the joints of puppets, be used to slow people down making them attack slower. Used to levitate the user out of reach from opponents. Can easily encase the user in sand making it hard for attacks to actually make physical contack as seen when Rock Lee preformed the hidden lotus on Gaara. If a decent amount of sand is gathered and compress together it becomes as solid as a rock, and used to form a shield, also the sand is solid but flexible and easily moved at whim. It can even stop sharp objects from piercing the sand shield, as seen with sasuke and Kimimaru. They attack and as it begins piercing more sand can simply be added until the object is just completely stopped. Even when sasuke added raiton chakra to his sword it still couldnt pierce the sand.

Good. Sand can be incredibly dense, but due to our ability to control it it can also be very fast and fluid. This makes it much more versatile than earth while also being able to withstand greater attacks.
Now, craft some sand into the shape of a circular shield and levitate it in front of your body.

On your command I pour some chakra out and into the sand around me which I quickly have raise up infront of me in a circle, as it raises off the ground I compress the sand making it dense, an continue adding more sand to it. Smoothing the edges and making it as dense and symmetrical as possible. It looks like a mid-evil shield made of shield.

Good. Now, use that shield to defend against my attacks.
*creates four baseballs of sand*
Shukaku fires the baseballs of sand at you, but splits them up to attack from various angles. One hits you from the front first, followed by one coming from your left. Following that one, the third comes at you from behind followed by the fourth coming straight down towards the top of your head.

I see the sandballs beaming at me one by one. I easily block the first one head on, but then I split the sand shield into 2 halves. I stretch out both arms and turn my, left half opened fist clockwise 90degrees and do the same with my right hand, but doing it counter clockwise. This causes the two halves to move fast. The left goes off to the left side smashing into the sandball merging them together, while the right shield does exactly the same. Merging with that sandball. I quickly clap my hands together causing both my sand shield halves to jolt straight above my head where they merge back together and block the last sand ball combining it together just like the rest. Increasing the size of my shield which now falls back infront of me, guarding me from future attacks again.

As multiple balls begin shooting around faster and faster, I split my sand shield even further and begin to use the multiple pieces to whip around blocking each sand ball and merging the sand into the mass, breaking it apart again each time it reaches the right size. I continue to weave my arms around frantically causing the chucks of shield to continue moving faster.

Several of the bullets bypass your defense and strike you, send you to the ground and leaving a size-able bruise.
Don't control the sand, will the sand. Control it with just your thoughts and have it protect you. The use of your arm movements to control the sand just makes it slower. Now, if I were still in you, I could do it for you. But now that I'm here and you're there you need to do it yourself.
Try again.
*sends a barrage of sand bullets at you*

As I'm lifting myself off the ground, the bullets waste no timing in coming after my defensless self. As I'm standing up the sand around me jolts upwards, and lashes out in a small wave, blocking each bullet. As I return to complete upright position, I send the sand out and away from me knocking down bullets before they even get near me. With my arms crossed infront of me, I manage to will the sand to protect me as the bruise I now harbor is motivation enough to not allow myself to be hit again.

The sand seemingly moves around yourself, acting almost on its own as it defends you from the oncoming onslaught.
Hmm....good. Almost as good as when I protected you, but not quite.
Now when using sand for defense it helps to use the harder minerals within your sediment. Use your chakra to sift through it and bring the hardest minerals to the surface erecting it into a wall in front of you.

I concentrate on my sand, willing it to sift around. The fine, smoother parts sift down to be the base, as the dense, larger more rugged piece move to the surface and create a proper shield held together by the smaller smoother pieces.

Shukaku fires a cannonball of sand at the wall. It crashes into it, and much to your dismay punches through the sand with ease.
No good. Don't mistake bigger, for harder. A grain of diamond is no larger than a grain of salt. Try again, and remember that.

I begin compiling the sand into a defensive wall again. This time I focus through the sand finding the most dense and solid of the sand. Infusing my chakra into the strongest of the sand. Holding them together with the weaker sand as the base again. This time my sand shield is much denser and sturdier. I feel confident i have willed the sand into the strongest shield possible.

Again Shukaku releases the cannonball towards your wall. This time it crashes against it the wall barely making so much as a dent.
Much better.
Those are the defensive techniques utilizing sand. Using the principles you just learned you can use each of them.
As for the Shield of Sand technique, this is Gaara's signature defensive technique which I'm sure you're well aware of. If you had Shukaku sealed inside you, it would move on its own. But since you don't you need to control it, and that means you need to recognize the incoming attack and intercept it.
Now do you have any questions regarding that or any of the defensive techniques listed above?

Shukaku extends his arm forward with an open palm. As he does this wind around you gathers into a sphere of needles that surround you. With a simple closing of his fist the needles converge on you.

As the wind around me begins to gather, I see Shukaku's arm extended outwards with his palm opened. I know I must shield myself before he closes his palm, I notice the air begins to take shape into a sphere. With that I quickly will the sand to jolt upwards and form my own sphere all around me to shield from whatever terror this wind sphere will unleash on me.
