Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

So why the chest instead of the head?

As we discuss that, what might be the difference between a 180 and a 360 kick?

The chest in my opinion would make more impact as that is where my foot would apply pressure mainly on,the left part of his chest where the heart is located beneath.

180 Kick:Is the half of a 360,in which its is a kick where the opponent does not complete a full body turn around motion.

360 kick:Where as,in this the opponent does a full boy kick turning his body in an arc of 360 then executing the kick.

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

Excellent response. Targeting the vulnerable areas is always important in Taijutsu.

Alright, good general explanation of the kicks, however, we need to go a little deeper.
How might they differ in both timing and power?

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

I don't really know to be honest sensei,however i think it all has to do with the body motion and the way the attack is executed ,please tell and explain to me the parts i missed.

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

Well, think about it.
You said a 360 kick forces you to do a full body turn while a 180 kick only turns the body halfway. Which one might strike first? Which one might be more powerful?

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

The 360 body turn kick would strike first and have more strenght due to the body motion.

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

Actually, no. The 180 would strike first but have less power. Think of it. The 360 would take time because it's a full body spin.

As your clones closes in on me in short range i do half of a 360 degree turn being an 180 motion body low spinning kick which i use to hit him tossing him off balance. He tosses of balance and goes to mid air and jumps on the ground,dispelling himself.

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

So, now, do you know why it is important to maintain balance at all times during any fight, not just Taijutsu?

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

Yes sensei and i thank you for your part in helping me to understand that,Balance in fights not only taijutsu fight is important in you keeping your footing and being well positioned which would lead to a better attack.

Excellent.

Description: This technique is a good example of how even simple taijutsu can become a pre-eminently destructive, lethal technique. The attack is a simple rear spinning low kick, but a strong enough user can send a large adult flying as if they weighed nothing. The goal is to throw the enemy off balance, and deal damage to the lower half of their body.
So what are feints in a Taijutsu and how would you utilize them to your advantage?

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

Feints can be defined as maneuvers designed to distract or mislead, in a taijutsu fight this would be helpful so the user can create and opening and strike the opponent when he is not aware

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

Excellent.
So, now proceed, to dash up to my clone and feint a high kick, but actually put most of it into a power that strikes a rib.
How does body weight also come into play?

I run at your clone at full pace and speed and jump high into the air and create a feint high kick,where as i stiffen and apply power and strength to my leg and aim it at one of his ribs.

Weights In Naruto are: Added materials which increase your body mass an which are normally worn on the bodies of an individual an example is rock lee weights, a person trained in weights can gain or assess increased speed when he removes the wait due to his training in them, weights can also be added to other parts of the body eg me attaching dumbbells to my arms to increase its strength when struck at an opponent.However the speed would be reduced too.

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

No, not added weights, but your body weight in general.
Like frontal stances are placing your right leg in front of your left to increase the weight on it and decrease recoils.

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

Oh sorry, i mistook it for added weights,From the little knowledge i know weight on the body and how it plays a role in taijutsu, mostly revolves around pressure and weight concentration to make a stronger impact or damage on a certain body part, a good example is me adding my full body weight onto my leg and then thrusting it into your knee.

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

Excellent. So I'll emphasize a bit more.
During feints, you want to use as little body weight as possible in that feint attack because your second move is where most of the power is. Also, maintaining good body weight also allows you to maintain balance in your fights.

Rank: D
Type: Attack

Description: A taijutsu where one launches a succession of high kicks and low kicks. Firstly, the opponent's evasion margin is restrained upon seeing the high kick, thus augmenting the chances for the low kick to hit the mark connecting to the rib cage area. So originally the high kick is little more than a feint.
Now, proceed to allow gravity to carry your body back, however, at the last second before you hit the ground, shift all the body weight forward, using the momentum to strike my clone in the body and into the air.

In the air as i thrust my hand towards your clone chest, gravity pushes me back downwards and the moment i am about hit the ground i shift the weight of my body forward, i then use the momentum to strike your clone in the body and into the air.

Re: Taijutsu with the legendary Akihiko

Excellent. So let's discuss the aspects of using gravity to your advantage.
Usually, in Taijutsu, we find ourselves in situations where using gravity could be extremely helpful.
The law of gravity states that things fall at an average speed of 9.8 meters per second, and sum that up with force = mass x acceleration, that means the power of your hits are rather strong.

So what do you know about utilizing gravity to your advantage during fights?

Gravity and balance go hand in hand and is crucial in taijutsu attacks especially the short range fights. Let me start off by defining gravity ,it can be defined as is a natural phenomenon by which physical bodies attract each other with a force proportional to their masses. A user who plans to strike his opponent with a flying high kick,must first think about gravity and the fear of falling down,which he must think over as he tries to do the technique,without gravity in the world or in taijutsu fights, we as individuals would experience a feeling of weightlessness and float similar to space where gravity and oxygen does not exist,You can take many advantages of gravity such as throwing your opponent up in the sky and knowing for sure that he would smash down hard on the ground.
