Well done. Time for the template!

The following template is what I want you to fill out with every technique that I show you from now on.

(Konoha Shōfū) – Leaf Rising Wind
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 20
Description: This technique uses the entire body as a spring, by amassing power through taking a posture where the back of the body falls down. With this powerful taijutsu, the user kicks just above the head. Because the power of the kick from the ground is instantly converted into a blow, the enemy hit with this attack will be launched high into the sky.

I want you to bend your posture allowing your back part of your body to fall down or so to speak, from here, I want you to use either one of your legs, or both of them and kick towards my clones head, using the momentum of how your posture is, that kick is rather powerful and is able to send someone high into the sky.

I'm sorry... My mid sort of went blank on this technique... I tried my best to analyze it, but only saw a few advantages and the one disadvantage... :erm:

If you need me to do this one again, I will understand. :yeah:

One/three advantages:

Fast and strong enough to knock an enemy into the air.
To me, the technique looks very universal. Combinations can be implemented before or after the kick.

One/three disadvantages:

If the enemy can predict or see the kick coming, they can exploit the time during the kick, when the user can't defend. Or attack the users support, be it their arms or leg(s), and the force of gravity will make them hit the ground. Hard.

How you would use it in battle:

I would use smaller free form attacks, either Ken or Tai, to keep the enemy on the defensive, then either feint or use an opening created with something else into this, and once the enemy is in the air I would combo with Kenjutsu and/or knock them back to the ground with Ninjutsu.

How you would counter it:

Like I mentioned, if you are able to dodge the attack you can take advantage of the window when the user is kicking upwards. Or, if you are able to attack the users support structure, the gravitational force that they are trying to take advantage of would be used to severely hurt them.

How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):

"Okay, here goes nothing..."

I quickly dash at your clone. Once I reach kicking distance I slide, almost to a stop. Just as I reach your clone I lean backwards and allow the full top half of my body to drop, almost fully to the ground, I use both of my arms to support my body, and make sure I don't fall right into the ground. Using the added force of my full body (all nearly 7ft 0___0) I bring my right leg up with as much strength as I can muster, and as the kick connects, your clone is sent soaring through the air. I push off the ground with my hands and land on my feet, awaiting my Sensei's next instruction, be it to try this technique again or move on to the next one.

This video displays the technique, several times, I used this as a source for the explanation.

Amazing, mate. Really keep those up.

Now, I would like you to run around this training field 300 times, please. ;d

Shayde then proceeds to run around the training field 300 times... After what feels like a few days of running Shayde stops in front of his Sensei, dripping with sweat, and breathing somewhat heavily, he asks,

"Anything else, Sensei?"

Nathan · Sep 27, 2013

Oh, no that was good. Didn't I tell you, this training was going to be the hardest one you have ever done?
You get no rest for the time being, moving on to another technique!

(Asshō) - Pressure Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: The user strikes their opponent with a downwards thrust striking them to the floor.

As simple as they come, run up to my clone and using either arm, perform a simple downward thrust, pushing the clone towards the floor, this technique can be used for lots of combos, and it's an easy to perform technique, pretty straight forward one would say!

One/three advantages:

Simple technique. No mistakes can be made.
Powerful punch. Pins enemy into the ground.
Can easily be worked into combo's, thanks to it simplicity.

One/three disadvantages:

Can be overlooked, dodged and countered thanks to it's simplicity.
If you miss, it leaves you wide open, thanks to the force required.
I know it's obvious, but being in close range put's you in danger

How you would use it in battle:
Drive the enemy into the ground, leaving behind a cartoonish hole in the ground... Kidding. Drive the enemy into the ground and finish them off while they are dealing with the damage done with the punch. By using electrical based attacks I would cause the enemy to be numb and have less chance of dodging or reacting to the punch.

How you would counter it:
Using a punch of equal or greater strength would cause both techniques to cancel each each other out. Or by using my Sharingan (When it's strong enough...), follow the movements and attack the enemies weak points, eg, the legs, to knock them off balance, or by using their momentum against them. (Although I'm not sure that second one is usable, I thought I may as well say it, because I plan on using my eyes once they are fully awakened.)

How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):

With such a simple action and only one movement required, I wonder if this is truly worth it. But then I remember that there are not shortcuts in training, this is required of me. I make a quick dash at your clone, bringing my arms up to my waist as I do, a similar stance to the one you would learn in Karate. As I reach your clone I drive my right hand into your clone's torso, at the center of the ribcage, and push forward with my feet. I drive my fist down, with your clone on the receiving end of it, and with all the strength I can muster, force your clone into the ground, dealing severe damage to your clones ribcage and causing the ground in the area to crack wide open and tremble.

This video here shows Sakura's Ougi, where she performs something similar. She punches the intended target and drives them downward. I don't really know any other techniques, in the anime or in the game's I've played.

The video also has an amazing soundtrack. XD

Outstanding, mate.

(Shōgekishō) - Upwards Attacking Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: The user strikes their opponent with an upwards thrust into the abdomen lifting them into the air.

Like the last one, but sightly with a difference, with this one, I want you to run at my clone like before, but this time perform a upwards thrust; punching in their abdomen, thus lifting them into the air, leaving them vulnerable to more attacks.

Okay... No lie... That sig is starting to scare me!! XD

Is that the purpose? To scare everyone? 0__0

One/three advantages:

Another simple attack, but effective.
When the enemy is in the air, can easily chain into other Tai/ Nin/ Ken Jutsu.
The concussive force of the attack would easily leave the enemy unable to move properly for a while.
If used after knocking the enemy into the air, you would drastically increase the damage, force and effectiveness of the attack.

One/three disadvantages:

If used improperly, like most Taijutsu techniques, it would leave you open to counters because of the force required to do the technique. Eg. Using Kenjutsu to cut the palm/ arm off...
Being required to be close to the enemy makes the previous disadvantage more likely.
If you've knocked the enemy into the air prior to using this, they could use gravity to make a powerful counter to the palm.

How you would use it in battle:

Like I mentioned, I would probably knock them into the air and let gravity do the work for me... Once they are in the air, a combination of free form Tai/ Ken and Nin/ Tai/ Kenjutsu techniques would definitely be in order. They would be used to burn/ cut/ annihilate the enemy, before knocking them back to the earth.

How you would counter it:

I would use the previous technique to try and balance the directional forces out. If one is pushing up and the other is pushing down, they would either cancel each other out, or the person with the most Taijutsu expertise would win. Like I also mentioned, using Kenjutsu to lob the arm off would work... >_>

How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):

You must be registered for see images

I start by getting into the same stance as the last technique, arms at my waist, ready to be brought forward to strike your clone. I dart and weave at your clone, dashing left and right, building up as much momentum as I can. Also, by going left to right, instead of straight forward, you make more room to build up speed and momentum, hence, the darting and weaving. As I reach the space in front of your clone, I bring my right fist up, with the palm pointed upwards, and drive it into your clones abdomen. The force of the attack knocks your clone into the air and as it reaches a certain distance it disappears in a cloud of smoke.

The following video shows the technique. 1:50 when Jirobo is CM State 2.

Nathan · Sep 29, 2013

I used to be the guy with creepy sigs and whatnot, thought it was time to bring that back, and after seeing this movie; that time was now. xD

Well done.

(Hōshō) - Crumbling Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: The user strikes the opponent with a forwarding palm thrust.

Okay with this one, this one of the more used taijutsu techniques here; all you need to do is get within close range of my clone, and use either hand, stretch out that so having a forward upward palm, showing and then perform a simple thrust into any body part of the clone. Very handy and very, very simple technique to use, if used right can be powerful enough.

Imperfect · Sep 29, 2013

Well, you keep up the scary sigs. I'll just be over here, not freaking out... ^_^''

One/three advantages:

Straightforward thrusting strike. Difficult to make mistakes.
Jirobo was strong enough to take someone out with one or two of these strikes, not everyone is as strong as he is, but still, it's been proven to be a very strong attack.

One/three disadvantages:

Close range puts the user in danger.
Since it's a simple attack, the target can easily see through it and counter.

How you would use it in battle:

Since it, presumably, knocks the target back, I would create an environmental hazard, like spikes, with earth Style, and knock the enemy into it. I would also use lower rank, faster jutsu to distract the target and then combo into this.

How you would counter it:

Use a Taijutsu skill of equal or greater strength, or use something that would overpower the target, like Ninjutsu or Kenjutsu. Either that, or if I have no choice, use substitution, but that's as a last resort.

How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):

I take my stance and ready myself. My Sensei said that this is one of the more used Taijutsu used in the Ninja World... Why is it so simple, yet so popular? This isn't the time for such trivialities. I dash at your clone, keeping to the right of it, my left, and as I reach your clone I bring my right fist forward, so that it's right in line with your abdomen. I force my palm into your clone's stomach and push with both of my feet, sending your clone flying backwards at great speeds.

Was going to put the video I put in the previous video here, but there,s not much point. I found that image, it should be enough.

Nathan · Oct 1, 2013

Very, very good.

(Tokken) - Thrusting Shoulder
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: The user will jump into the opponent thrusting their shoulder to strike them.

Now time for something different, I believe you have seen American Football? This technique is kind of like that, what I want you to do, is run at my clone with your shoulders out, come into contact with said clone, and knocking him over with your shoulders.

Imperfect · Oct 1, 2013

Hate to disappoint you, but I'm not a sports guy... U_U

But I know about Martial Arts. Did Karate when I was younger, so I understand the technique.

Now I'm just all about games... Sorry... :sweat:

One/three advantages:

Simple attack.
Quick and powerful burst, able to easily knock an enemy backwards.
The heavier/ taller the user is, the more effective the attack is. Being almost 7ft irl and in the RP... I'll do some SERIOUS damage with this technique... :snick:

One/three disadvantages:

Once again being close range, you have to be prepared for any type of counter.
If the target uses something to intercept the technique, like the Lightning Style: Raging Thunder technique, or Chidori Nagashi, the user would be severely vulnerable.
The user's weight/ height can be used against them, with techniques like Earth Style: Weighted Boulder, and since the user has to be close range it is a very likely scenario... At least to me...

How you would use it in battle:

I would use it similar to the last technique, knocking the target back and then using environmental hazards to kill the target. I would also use the previously mentioned technique, Lightning Style: Raging Thunder, to increase it's effectiveness and physical damage.

How you would counter it:

I would use a similar or better Taijutsu technique to draw with or overpower the attack. Lightning Style: Raging Thunder is also an option, cause if the enemy crashes into that attack while you charge into them, they will get burned and they will get knocked back.

How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):

Since it's a pretty straightforward charge, I don't think I can come up with a really big reply, sorry

.

I stare your clone down... It knows... It just drew the short end of the stick... All 7ft of me bears down on your clone at full speed. I reach full speed and crash directly into your clone, rushing through your clone with my right shoulder. Since I didn't plan ahead, your clone dissipates and I go crashing into the dirt... Bit silly of me... I stand up and wipe the dust off.

"Okay Sensei, was that good enough? What's next?"

That's okay. I don't follow sports either.

Now, I can probably guess but have you learnt Shadow Clones technique yet [B-rank ninjutsu]?

Nope... I haven't even walked on Water yet... But that's just cause Mig is probably busy with real life. :eww:

And I really was looking forward to putting on a beard and a robe and pretending to be Jesus for Halloween this year...

Why, does this next technique require the user to be able to perform Shadow Clones...? Is it the Uzumaki Barrage? ಠ_ಠ

Nathan · Oct 4, 2013

Hmm, no not yet just getting it for future. There is quite a few techniques that involve the shadow clone technique.

Okay, so with what you have learnt I would like you to come at me, using taijutsu and elemental techniques. Impress me, you have to use at least one taijutsu technique in your combo.

So is this to see how much I have learned so far, and how well I can mix them with other techniques? You're on!!

Well... I hate to say this, but if doing it I'm doing it right... In for a penny, in for a pound!! XD

"Are you sure Sensei... I just don't want to hurt you too much..."

What am I saying... He obviously wishes to see my progress and is prepared for my move...

"Okay then... Apologies in advance, Sensei."

I start by unsheathing my blade from it's scabbard, looking at you with a great amount of fear. Not because I am afraid of you, but afraid of actually hurting you... It doesn't matter, you asked me to come at you with everything I had, so I will. I dash at you with great speed, readying my sword as I do. As I reach you I take the blade of my sword, with both of my hands on gripped tightly on the hilt of my blade, and slash you into the air with as much force as I can muster, you get sent flying into the air. I leap into the air and appear above you, but instead of drilling you into the ground by channeling chakra into my blade, I take my left fist and drive it into your abdomen, sending you flying towards the ground at a great pace.

As you crash into the ground I put by blade away and quickly gather chakra in my stomach, changing the nature of the chakra to that of Fire by heating the chakra in my stomach. After a few moments of building the chakra, I let it out in one single, brightly burning ball of fire that drills into you, burning your flesh, and blinding you thanks it it's proximity to you. I land and wait to see how you thought I performed...

"Are... Are you okay Sensei?"

Nathan watches from a tree just behind you.
"That was good, tis was a shame that was actually a clone of mine, he has been teaching you from the get-go."

No, seriously well done, detail good. Well done.

(Shōshitsu) - Rising Knee
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 15
Description: The user will strike their opponent with an upwards thrust with their knee.

Now, since I am now behind you, I want you to turn to face me, please. From there I want you to race towards my newly made clone to the left of me, and from there using either one of your legs, I want you to get up close and perform a simple upwards thrust using your knee to hit him in the stomach. Easy and simple, I don't think I need to add anymore.

Imperfect · Oct 6, 2013

One/three advantages:

A simple guttural kick that would knock the wind out of the target.
Like most of the Arhat Fist Taijutsu skills, it is strong and can easily be worked into combinations.

One/three disadvantages:

Being Taijutsu, it is close ranged and therefore puts the user in danger if the opponent can counter or use something stronger.
Arhat Taijutsu skills seem to be slow and predictable when compared to other Taijutsu, like Lee and Guy's Taijutsu, which is far faster, and stronger. This makes the Arhat Fist less effective against other Taijutsu users.

How you would use it in battle:

I would use it to knock the wind out of the enemy, and use the window the jutsu grants to either keep going with Taijutsu or finish with Kenjutsu. Since the thrust is upwards, it may lift the target of the ground, I may free form Taijutsu if it does, either grabbing their throat and throwing them or something.

How you would counter it:

I would use a technique with the opposite effect. (Asshō) - Pressure Palm, comes to mind, cause if the enemy is striking upwards, then a downwards thrust with a technique of equal strength will cause them to cancel each other out. Or if I use (Konoha Shōfū) – Leaf Rising Wind, I can maneuver out of the way of the thrust and then attack the target when he is recovering from the kick.

How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):

I hear your voice from a nearby tree...

"You fly son of a gun... Oh well. I guess it doesn't really matter now. One question though... If that was a clone from the start... HOW STRONG ARE YOU?! You created several clones for me to attack, before revealing that was a clone!! You must either have tricked me somehow or you have A LOT of chakra..."

Hmmm... He IS a Sensei... But still... THAT much chakra... The clone jutsu halves your chakra... That's... Insane.

"Oh well... Let's just crack on."

I dash at your clone with my arms are up at my face to guard it. As I reach the space in front of your clone, I grab your shoulders, and drive my knee into your clones stomach. I let go of your clones shoulders and let him fall to the ground. As your clone dissapates I take a few steps back, ready to go for the next technique.

"Simple... What's next Sensei?"

Awesome.

And, I have all da chakras.

(Hayabusa Otoshi) - Peregrine Falcon Drop
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points:15
Description: The user grabs a falling opponent by their ankles, wraps his legs around their waist, and drives them head first into the ground, similar to the Front Lotus.

OKay so I will perform the earth rampart technique to rise you and my clone up higher, I then want you to run up to my clone and grab his ankles and keep running until you are both of the edge of the rampart and then jump of the side from there, I want you to turn the clone upside down so, he legs are upwards near your head, and then wrap your legs around his waist, driving my clones head into the ground. I can't see myself using this unless my target and I are already up into the air.

Imperfect · Oct 11, 2013

One/three advantages:

A simple move when in the air that has been shown to be fatal, eg, Kakashi vs Nadare Rouga.
Easily worked into other Taijutsu skills thanks to it's simplicity. The Dancing Leaf Shadow would be a good combination for this.
Since the enemy will have severely limited movement, escaping is difficult.

One/three disadvantages:

Requires the user and target to be in the air, to initiate the attack, and gain enough momentum for the required force.
If the enemy can shift their center of gravity, like with the weighted boulder technique or the expansion technique, they can use it to turn the jutsu on the user.

How you would use it in battle:

Using the Dancing Leaf Shadow and other Taijutsu skills to get the target in the air is the best way to use this technique, but it requires the user to have a big opening to exploit. Other than that, using this to paralyze the enemy, then finishing them with something fiery... Sounds awesome.

How you would counter it:

Since I can't use either aforementioned techniques, I would have to avoid being knocked into the air, and if I am, either substitute the attack, or use something that the enemy can't get near, like Chidori Nagashi.

How you perform it (with as much detail as you can):

You use Earth Style: Earth Rampart Technique to elevate the field.

"Sooooo? Jump off? Lol... Oh well YO... NO!! Never!!"

With that I tackle your clone, and we both go off the rampart. As we fall through the air, for a second, my heart races a bit. I've never been a... Fan of heights. I grab your clones legs and position myself accordingly. Wrapping my legs around your neck and straightening your neck, I hold on to your waist and we build up momentum. As we near the ground I close my eyes and wait for the inevitable crash, or crunch to be more precise... Your clone's head hits the ground and a large thud sound is made. Your clone disappears in the usual *poooof*.

"Next time... I think I'll just use the stairs..."

You must be registered for see images

As I said before this technique is fatal, this is because when you position your feet at the targets neck, and hold the targets legs in place, this makes the targets spine as straight as humanly possible, resulting in severe damage to the spine. Usually the spine is curved to reduce the overall bodily harm done when something falls on a humans head or if a person hit's their head off something, but since it's straightened, it shatters because there is nothing to help absorb the force of the drop. Usually falling on your head is fatal enough, but this is overkill...

(This is just from research, prior to joining NB, I thought it relevant to explain why I think it's a OH-KO.)

Nathan · Oct 14, 2013

Well done, and I agree. This technique would be a KO. U.U
Sorry for the late reply, been busy over the last couple days.

(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.

With this technique, I want you to simply flip towards my clone, this shall allow you to build up some speed, and as you get clone to my clone, while still flipping I want you to punch and kick my clone up to 7 times in total, please. I'd probably wouldn't use this way too much, as taijutsu isn't my favourite bunch of techniques, but you may be different, and that is a-okay.
