I want to learn Taijutsu because although it is preferred, distance in a battle is not always guaranteed. And unless I want to set myself on fire or electrocute myself over and over (which I don't) I need to learn how to hold my own using nothing but what I was given through evolution alone (Apologies if you're religious).
As well as this, what good is a ninja that can't fight in whatever circumstances come before him/ her?
Ah, I get the reference, haha.
Nice answer, Taijutsu is indeed dangerous, unpredictable, and swift in close range. You rely on your wits and sheer body power when you use Taijutsu.
Alright, proceed to start running laps! *points at the field*
I turn and drop my head as I creep slowly toward the running track, once I reach the surface I get my head in the game and get in the right mindset to train, I then set off running laps round and round the track. Whenever I cross the line I look over to sensei to see if I can stop, I repeat this process until I receive further instruction.
The purpose of warming up in this way is to warm the muscles up and prepare them for more strenuous activities. It also gets the lactic acid moving around your body in order to prevent injury etc.
There are plenty of other purposes of this type of warm up including;
-Reduction of muscle stiffness
-Better flexibility of the muscles resulting in better contraction and relaxation movement
-Cold muscles to not absorb shock or impact as well as warm muscles and therefore become vulnerable to injury.
-Better oxygen absorption by the muscles
-Higher temperature in the muscles promotes higher blood circulation
-Increases heart rate, which supports heavier exercises
-Increases metabolism facilitating energy production required for the real exercise that follows the warm up
-Better movement during exercise since the stiffness of the muscles has been eliminated
As instructed I set my feet firmly on the ground and bend my knees ready to push off with a bit of a spring. I then use this spring to launch myself forward from the spot towards your clone, on my way I draw my left arm back before finally driving it forward into your clones stomach making sure to follow through as much as I can.
I went with my left arm as this is my predominant hand and possesses more strength than my right arm does. Also, my punching technique is more polished is my natural hand as it does with throwing or writing.
And the purpose of running forward before throwing the punch was to put more of a driving force behind the punch and to add to the overall power of the hit. It is only natural that a punch that you follow through with the whole body does more damage than one solely performed with an arm.

Now, proceed to dash up to my clone and strike him with a kick! Dynammicc ennttryy!
I then retake my strong grip on the ground and use the same knee spring motion to launch myself forward dashing toward your clone, once I reach a good distance I step on my left foot and launch myself into the air. With this motion I bring my right leg up and flick out my foot from my knee to generate more power behind the subsequent kick.
Well, if you stumbled, and lost your body weight, you'd fall towards the ground.
Think of this if it happened in real life.
In what ways would you prevent and possibly lower the damage of the fall?
To recover from falling I'd make sure that my hands hit the ground first, taking the brunt of the impact and also putting me in a good position to be able to spring back to my feet quickly again if necessary. I'd also keep my head up, making sure that my head does not receive damage from impact as this is the most improtant thing in this situation. I'd also make sure to stay as low as possible during the kick, this increases my likeliness of being able to stay balanced as it gives me a low center of gravity and make me more stable on my feet, also if I did fall this would make the fall from a lesser height and would therefore be easier to absorb the impact of.
I'd say the main way to assure a kick doesn't backfire would be to keep your centre of gravity low to the ground and to keep your body very straight, both of these things work in favor of your balance.
...wow. Alright, I have nothing else I can add - you can also push down on your hands (third law of Newton states the ground will push back with equal force) to recover back to your original stance.
(Dainamikku Entori) - Dynamic Entry
Rank: D
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:10
Description:A taijutsu attack were the user does a jumping kick into the opponents face.
Alright, my clone will now proceed to begin running at you.
Once he gets into short range, do a low sweeping kick with your dominant leg to throw him off balance.
Tell me the impact of such a move.
I set my left foot on the ground facing diagonally away from my body, lifting my right foot slightly from the ground I use this to gather momentum and send me into a spin planted on my left toes. I get my body as low to the ground as possible to maintain balance and a steady spin. I then stretch my right leg out to my side and use this leg to sweep the legs of my opponent, causing him to lose balance as well as fall to the side. Landing on the sie is a harder position to recover from than the front or back as well as you only have the support of a single arm.
