[Taijutsu] With the Master(Typhon)

[ZandaT]

Zanda awaits for the arrival of his new Sensei, with high spirits as he finally learns his favorite style of fighting, Taijutsu.

 

[Typhon]

This is the art of true MEN! Are you manly enough to hand it? :scorps:


Now, explain to me what taijutsu is.

 

[ZandaT]

Taijutsu are techniques that involve martial arts or the use of the bodies natural abilities. It is basically fueled by the users stamina and strength, and is why an advance physical training is done on the body everyday, to strengthen the body which also strengthens your tai. Almost all taijutsu requires no hand seals making it faster to perform unlike Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. It also requires no chakra, but chakra can be added to enhance certain attacks. Most techniques are done close range of an opponent, making taijutsu a hand to hand close combat style.

And yes Sensei, I am ready for taijutsu. I will learn it like a MAN!

 

[Typhon]

It also requires no chakra, but chakra can be added to enhance certain attacks.

Good, except for that. Chakra is used in everything you do, as its literally your body's energy. Walking, punching, kicking, etc. requires some chakra input.

What are some of the styles of taijutsu we've seen in Naruto?

What is the pinnacle of taijutsu in our RP system?

 

[ZandaT]

Understood U_U

Some styles of Taijutsu I have seen are: Gentle Fist(Eight Trigrams Assult), Strong Fist, Akimichi Taijutsu(Human Boulder), Inuzuka Taijutsu(Fang Over Fang), Shikotsumyaku(Dance of the Larch), and Suko Kuma U(I butchered that xd) (Multiple connecting Fist)

The highest point of Taijutsu one can learn when it comes to training on NB is NB Taijutsu. (Wasn't really sure about the question)

 

[Typhon]

The top of the top when it comes to taijutsu is the Eight Inner Gates.

Explain to me what freeform taijutsu is and why its important.

 

[ZandaT]

lol, I was gonna say that at first.

Free form Taijutsu is basically engaging your opponent without posting a technique. It is important when it comes to taijutsu bcz you can get the same effect without using 1 of your 3 jutsu.

 

[Typhon]

True, but not what I was going for. The reason why freeform is so important is because its the basis for everything we do. If you're unable to freeform, there's no way you can adequately battle using techniques. It requires you to be able to describe your moves in detail, while also being able to imagine your opponent's move based on their movements. Having an understanding of this lets you use techniques in various ways that may not be obvious from the description.

 

[ZandaT]

Ahh, Ok I understand what you mean.

One cannot do a dance, without knowing the motions.

 

[Typhon]

Well said. ^^

Now, come attack me.

 

[ZandaT]

"I've been waiting for you to say that!"

Elfman then lowers his stance and raises his fists slughtly above his lips. He then rushes at his Sensei and throws a feint right round house kick to his head, using it as a distraction and for momentum, he misses on purpose and uses that right leg to spin delivering a backwards left spin kick to the head.

 

[Typhon]

As you plant your right leg after the "feign" and turn your body, I drop down low and spin with my left leg extended, sweeping your right leg out from underneath you while your back is turned to me.

 

[ZandaT]

As I was continuing with my attack, I suddenly feel my leg being sweept off balance, so as I fall forwards I extend my arms and propel myself upwards while upside down and then I start to spin while my legs are extended on opposite sides of each other.

 

[Typhon]

Not bad.

-Reset-

Come attack me again. This time put together a combo of 4-5 hits.

 

[ZandaT]

In close range of Typhon, I throw two rapid left jabs to the center of the face, followed by a quick bow and a strong right hook to the lower jaw. After throwing the right hook, I step in closer turning the finished hook into a elbow thrust to the left side of your front jaw.

 

[Typhon]

In a standard boxing stance, I quickly bob to the left, and then the right to avoid the incoming jabs. As you go for the right hook I duck down below it crouching slightly and step forward with my left foot and deliver a strong punch with my right arm to your stomach, causing you to keel over a little. Then I move my body to the left while standing back up, and bring my right knee up into your stomach causing you to now completely bend over. I finish by raising my right arm up and then bringing down my elbow on the middle of your back, knocking you to the ground.

 

[ZandaT]

It was expected, but I still didn't understand. Sensei dodged all of my punches and then I suddenly felt the wind being knocked out of my stomach.

"Hmph"

I then kneel over like any normal response to a gut attack, and now he has moved to my my right out of view. Then suddenly I feel a even greater pain to the stomach, followed by a forceful elbow to my back, the quick combination sended me flat on the ground. Gasping for air.

"Uhhhhh." *Gasp followed by a coughing laugh*

In response I do a quick roll to my left and then propel my feet up into the air by pushing off the ground , I try to ignore the pain, and then grabbing into the earth with my left hand I swing both my legs to the right directed at your lower legs. I then use the double leg sweep momentum to get me back onto my feet.

 

[Typhon]

Okay good.

You have some good creativeness in your moves. Lets do some training now.

Take 100 laps around the field.

 

[ZandaT]

Only some? jk, I know at the end I will grow in taijutsu creativity.

I start pacing myself for the first 20 laps, and then I run through the next 20 with speed, and then I alternate until I reach 100 laps around the field.

*I then gasp for air*
"L-L-Lets take a s-short break"

 

[Typhon]

Keep going! No rest!
