[Tai] The art of Taijutsu with Korra
- Thread starter Cyber
- Start date
Taijutsu is a basic yet extremely useful way to fight. Instead of wasting a lot of chakra, you use your own speed and physical strength to attack your opponent. It can be further augmented by using chakra to make your punches and kicks stronger. Notable masters of taijutsu would be Rock Lee, Maito Gai and the Hyuga Clan.
Is this going to be RP heavy or do we just want to get this over with ASAP?

Re: The art of Taijutsu with Detective L
I run 100 laps around the training field, do 100 push ups and 100 sit ups. I walk over to you, slightly out of break and ask if that was good enough.

Alright you guys covered the intro. Taijutsu is quite simple, so it can either be done RP wise, or analysis wise. Both require about an equal amount of writing, so which would you prefer?

Elijah makes his way towards the training field, where he finds a familiar. He had trained quite a large amount students lately, and they all seemed to be so different. Nonetheless, now was time to indulge in Taijutsu once more. Elijah was clad in his dark suit, and carried his suitcase as well.
"Hello there, seems like you've started already, so we'll head straight to the techniques. I will explain a technique, then I want you to perform it against my clone, give me at least two advantages and disadvantages of the technique and also, how you would use it in battle. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
We'll start off with one technique at a time. Now, the first technique is simple. You will run towards the opponent, and with a simple thrust of one of your arms, you will perform a powerful punch. This punch is aimed at the opponent's chest, and can be used to hit the opponent back, and cause quite some damage. Depending on the speed you are traveling, this technique, despite its low rank, can be used to even cause heavy breathing for the opponent. Use it against my clone."
Elijah creates a clone that runs towards Kakashi.

Kakashi was running through the training field practicing his kicks and punches when suddenly a man in a black suit with a brief case appeared. The man said his name was Elijah and he was here to continue my training.
"Hello Elijah. As you probably know, i'm Kakashi Hatake. I hope we can make it through this training in a timely fashion."
Kakashi notices the clone coming for him and runs toward it, thrusting his fist forward as hard as he can without losing any momentum. The punch hit the clone in the center of it's ribs, causing it to hunch over in pain and poof away.
Advantages
• Usable to stun the enemy while I use freeform tai to kick the opponent aside the head.
• Performed quickly
Disadvantages
• As with all taijutsu, I must be very close to the opponent to use it.
• Can't be used to block an attacking opponent
How I would use it. Kakashi runs forward and punches the opponent in the chest before sweeping it's leg and finishing it with a crumbling palm to the chest of the grounded enemy.

PS: In how I would use it, you put in something like, I would use this technique to handle an opponent who has been left opened, or when I am aiming to deliver a fast strike to the chest. Coupled with speed, this technique would be great.
"God job, here you go."
"The next technique is quite simple. You will run towards the opponent with great speed, and with by planting your foot into the ground, you will perform a forward jump. As you do so, you will angle your body towards the opponent, as you extend your dominant leg. This is aimed to hit the opponent right in the face, a perfect Dynamic Entry. A nice technique, but leaves you fairly open to attacks, or even just being dodged with a simple sway of the body. Use it against my clone."

Kakashi listens to Elijah and runs toward the clone, jumping into the air and doing a front flip that leads into him extending his right leg, aimed for the clones upper chest area. Upon impact, Kakashi uses the halted momentum to jump off of the clone, landing about short range away from where the clone was.
Advantages
• Can be used on a grounded opponent so they can't step out of the way
• Delivers a quick drop kick to the opponent
Disadvantages
• Leaves me wide open for an attack
• The opponent can simply push my leg away to block
How would I use this? I would combine this with Bringer of Darkness (you know :Sparks
to deliver a devastating attack to the opponent with great speed and momentum.

"Nice, though you didn't need to have flipped. Simply jump, and kick. Here you go."
"Now, for the next technique. The technique is simple, as you will perform a low spinning rear kick. This is aimed to hit the opponent at their legs, and cause them to fall over, or lose balance. This is because of the power employed by the technique, and the placement of the kick. Fast, easy and deals some damage to the opponents lower body. Now, perform it against my clone."

Kakashi waits for the clone to get close to him and then drops down once it's in range, sweeping his leg with a back spinning kick.
Advantages
• Quick and simple
• Can give me a big advantage in a taijutsu fight because it takes the opponent off their feet
Disadvantages
• The enemy can jump over my leg, negating the technique
• The enemy can do a palm thrust down onto me while i'm focusing on sweeping the leg. So dangerous
How would I use it? Well this is simple for me as i've been thinking of taijutsu combos and ect. But I would use this, then a crumbling palm when they hit the ground to cause massive damage

"Good job, here you go."
"Now the next technique. This one is simple, where you will launch a high kick, aimed at the opponent's upper body, however, this technique is a mere feint. This would restrain the opponent's evasion margin, as you quickly deliver a full lower kick, aimed at the opponent's lower body. So the high kick first, but its fake, making the opponent less likely to dodge the kick, that you deliver at a lower angle. Use it against my clone."

Kakashi quickly places his hands on the ground and spins twice with his legs flailing out to attack the clone, but as the clone reaches short range, he drops down and delivers a hard kick to the side of the clones knee, breaking it and making it poof into non-existence.
Advantages
• Provides a good distraction to hurt the opponents legs
• If combined with a flash bomb, it can be proven to be even more effective
Disadvantages
• A palm thrust can smash me into the ground and prove my technique ineffective
• A discharge of lightning chakra can easily stop this technique

OOC: Your performance was a bit weird, its more of a standing and kicking technique, where you will aim high, but sudden;y bring down your leg and deliver a low kick. Care to re-try?
Thought it was a spinning kick
Kakashi runs toward the clone and raises his leg to kick the clone in the head. Kakashi then forcefully stops his leg and slams it down heel first on the side of the clones left knee, breaking it and making the clone disperse.
Already listed the advantages and disadvantages

"Very good, Kakashi. Here you go."
"Now the next three techniques are very simple, so we'll do them in bulk. The first technique is a simple punch. Yes, you heard me right. Clench your fist of your dominant hand, and swing it towards the designated area you want to cause damage to. This means, that you are able to punch the opponent anywhere on the opponent, from the face, to the crotch. A nice technique, and although it can be used in free form, this one actually gives a set amount of damage it can cause after the target has been struck. So, even if its possible in free form, but you want to cause some damage, use this.
After that, the slap. Performed with your open hand, you are capable of delivering an almost comedic slap to the opponent. However, the technique can be applied to slapping away weapons, and limbs as well. This makes it not only useful, but quite funny as well. This can, as the previous technique, be aimed anywhere. Some people are severely enhanced, and this slap could do some serious damage.
Lastly, the kick. Using one of your legs, you will deliver a forward kick towards the opponent. Like the previous two, this kick can also be aimed anywhere, and is also available in free form, but it gives you the amount of damage as well. Overall, these three techniques are very simple, so for performance, use all three of them in a combination. Advantages and disadvantages, and how you would use it in battle can be coupled together."
Elijah creates a single clone that runs towards Kakashi.

Elijah creates a single clone that runs towards Kakashi.
Kakashi runs up to the clone and punches it it the stomach with his right hand, when the clone counters with a kick to Kakashi's left side to which Kakashi uses his right hand to smack the leg away and kick the clones legs from under it causing the clone to fall where Kakashi slams his right heel down onto the clones chest.
Note:I controlled the clones leg for training purpose only.
Advantages
• Can be used in freeform (shweet)
• Can be used in quick succession
• The Slap can be used to block attacks
Disadvantages
• To cause a lot of damage, one most list (a) technique(s)
• Freeform can be freeform blocked/dodged
How would I use it? Basically the same way I just did except the slap would hit the opponent in the face.

"Good, remember, if its free form, techniques don't get posted. Most of Taijutsu can be done in free form, but it doesn't cause a "set" amount of damage, like a Taijutsu technique does. Taijutsu is also very free, and can be manipulated, slightly bended to fit the situation. Anyway, here you go."
"Now for the last D rank technique, you will run towards the opponent. As you reach close enough, you will bring your body down, and tackle the opponent. This would hit them into the ground, and allow you to perform some more combinations. A pretty nice technique, but you put yourself at a lot of risk when doing it. Use it against my clone."
