Taijutsu with Aki/Kiri. [TGOF]

[The Mockingjay]

Front flip, Front flip, Corkscrew flip to the right and land back to opponent, Back flip, back flip, Spin. Right jab to the gut. Right knee to face as his face drops with the force of the gut punch. Left elbow to the jaw, left kick to right knee, vice-versa, right foot stamp on right toe cross-body, Then I finish the combo with a heel to to the underside of my opponents nose, knocking his nose bone? into his brain.

 

[Adachi]

Well done. So let's discuss the purpose of flipping right before you get to your opponent. While it allows you to tense your muscles, preparing for good kicks, what else does the flipping do?

 

[The Mockingjay]

It gives your opponent an unsteady target, meaning that any counter they planned would be very difficult to land. As seen in pretty much every karate/ matrix type movie ever made, flipping makes for a very effective evasive maneuver

 

[Adachi]

Excellent. So how does range also apply to this?

 

[The Mockingjay]

Well flipping I suppose covers ground a lot quicker than just running. Other than that I'm not sure what you're asking really,...

 

[Adachi]

Alright, so I'll word the question in a better way.
Often times in Taijutsu, you would want to either close the gap between you and your opponent quickly, or get away just the same.
Why might this be?

 

[The Mockingjay]

To keep pressure on or relieve yourself of pressure, depending entirely on the situation that you find yourself in at that moment in time.

 

[Adachi]

Well put.

(Dainamikku Akushon) - Dynamic Action
Rank: C
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:15
Description: The user flips towards the opponent and attacks with a series of punches and kicks equalling 7 attacks.

Proceed to create several clones. When you get near my clone, jump up and deal a heel strike onto his shoulder. At the same time, all your clones follow up and do the exact same thing.

 

[The Mockingjay]

After creating multiple clones of myself I take a short run-up before launching off of my weak leg into the air, as I launch myself I turn my body and bring my strong leg round to strike my opponents shoulder, as I launch myself into the air my clones form an orderly queue and copy my movements perfectly one after the other, each striking my opponents shoulder.

 

[Adachi]

Excellent.

(Bunshin Kaiten Kakatou Otoshi) - Clone Spinning Hell drop
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points:15
Description: A taijutsu attack done after 3 shadow clone are made.The user somersaults into the air spinning and landing a blow to the shoulder of there enemy with there heels.

Proceed to toss my clone into the air, any way you wish. Once you do so, match his movements in the air, while you can control his, he can't control his.
Mirror his movements in the air so that you're directly under his shadow.
Describe what such a move could be used for.

 

[The Mockingjay]

After throwing your clone into the air I take position under his shadow and perfectly mimic his movements as he flies freely through the air.

Honestly have no clue why I would want to do that. I was gonna say something about him not being able to see me if I'm directly under him... but he would.

 

[Adachi]

Remember what we said about tossing an opponent into the air?

 

[The Mockingjay]

We said that by throwing them into the air they lose control of there movements and they become very limited in what they can do whilst freefalling... the manipulating there movements part is the bit I don't really get the point of ^^

 

[Adachi]

Ah, well, you're supposed to stay directly underneath him, in a parallel manner so you can then follow up with another move that I will teach later. ^_^

(Kage Buyō) - Shadow of the Dancing Leaf
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 5
Description: A technique where one follows the opponent, closely matching his or her body's movement, just like a leaf that dances in the air is followed by its shadow. The technique is usually preceded by a swift upper kick that will launch the target into the air. It is mainly used to position an opponent into a vulnerable aerial position. This move by itself is harmless, but it is usable as a stepping stone for a great many powerful techniques like Front Lotus and the Lion Combo. That said, it also has a rather high degree of difficulty.

Okay, now proceed to dash at my clone, first executing a low kick that links easily into a middle kick (while taking this into the air to build velocity) and then a high kick that ends with a heel drop that sends him back to the ground, successfully finishing him off.

 

[The Mockingjay]

Beginning with a dash toward my opponent I link this in with a sliding low kick which drives through my opponents shin/ankle, following this with my opponent off balance I bring my spare leg up along with my body as I push up to standing on the leg I slide kicked him with in the first place. Now with my opponent in the air and my leg still rising from the mid kick I spin slightly on my toes and position my risen leg over my opponent before swiftly bringing it down onto the back of his head with a heel kick which drives his face into the ground.

 

[Adachi]

Very good. Remember that the higher you go in the air, the more you are able to utilize the law of gravity to your advantage.

(Konoha Daisenpū) - Leaf Great Whirlwind
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points:15
Description: This technique is a series of kicking attacks, starting from a low kick and linking into a middle kick and high kick then finishing off with a heel drop. As the rotation speed picks up the user gains buoyancy, which they use to shift into gradually higher attacks.

Now, proceed to rush towards my clone and strike him with a shoulder, followed by a punch. O_O

 

[The Mockingjay]

Kiri's a mod!!! O_O I wasn't gone that long was I :O Congrats, you deserve it! ^^
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As I plant my foot and release my knee driving my body forward I adjust my path slightly in order to line up my right shoulder with my opponents. Upon reaching him my shoulder drives against his and spins him around as his body follows the direction of mine, as his body turns towards me I plant my left foot in front of me and slide to a halt whilst bringing my left arm around with enclosed fist flying towards my opponents fully open cheek. As the cheek and the fist meet a harsh ripple can be felt from inside the cheek as the opposing directional momentum's connect and give the punch more power than it would have had on a still opponent.

 

[Adachi]

Thanks. ^_^

Now, don't forget what we've spoken of of body weight earlier.

(Rakanken) - Nirvana Fist
Rank: C
Type:Attack
Range:Short
Chakra Cost:N/A
Damage Points:15
Description: A powerful shoulder smash followed by a strong punch.

Now, proceed to form four shadow clones, all of them following up with moves that eventually send my clone into the air. Then, follow him into the air, striking him down with one last kick.

 

[The Mockingjay]

Could you explain the body weight thing in the context of that last technique please? It'd help

After forming four shadow clones I have them converge on my opponent like a herd of hyena attacking ruthlessly from every angle leaving no room for escape or counterattack, with my opponent trapped among the rabid clones I have them put together a combination of punches and kicks which ends with two of the clones delivering a swift uppercut too my opponent simultaneously sending him up into the air. I then take of running and use the clones as a platform in order to follow my opponent into flight, once in the air I deliver one last kick to the abdomen of my opponent driving his body down out of orbit and crashing to the ground below,

 

[Adachi]

Remember that when you put your whole body weight in (you used a good portion of your shoulder in that move), you're taking a huge risk, for if you miss, you'll be sending your entire body weight and balance forwards.

Description:After making 4 clones they attack with kicks that launch the foe into the sky and the original hits the enemy on the shoulder sending them flying back to the ground.

Now, remember Shadow of the Dancing Leaf?
Proceed to use that and after making my clone vulnerable in the air, kick him higher and higher, taking advantage of the velocity. Once at the pinnacle point, proceed to kick him down onto the ground.
Describe how gravity takes a part.
