Taijutsu is a combat art of using your body as a weapon. Without using any elemental chakras, the user is able to hold their own using only their limbs and body parts to defend and attack. While taijutsu does not require any elemental chakra usage at all, learning the techniques require a large amount of physical prowess as some techniques use spinning kicks and flips to attack. Rock Lee and Guy Sensei were two of the most well known taijutsu fighters in Naruto. Both were not proficient in elemental ninjutsu but showed that taijutsu was enough to fight any and all ninja, with Guy being able to hold his own against Madara for sometime. Taijutsu is a close combat fighting style that has its advantages and disadvantages. It's advantages being quick precise attacks that when not defended correctly could be fatal. Taijutsu also has some techniques that mask it's true attack, for example a ninja could lead with a straight left kick, but once the opponent;s guard is down the user could spin and deliver a kick that wasn't expected. However, taijutsu lacks in elemental affinity and would be harder to use against most ninja. Also, Taijutsu is at a disadvantage of being, for the most part,close range.
