That's one way of putting it... but the base of Taijutsu is that it allows you to fight without using/very little chakra. It includes anything under the umbrella of martial arts... fists, kicks, blocks, locks etc.
In our RP, it is imperative that you make your move crystal clear and as accurate as you possible can, without writing a small essay on how you execute a punch. If you're not clear on how your character makes their attack, then you leave yourself open to losing by technicality, or losing cause you left yourself wide open...
That being said... go punch that tree as hard as you can. ^^
