Tips on taijutsu with Kirikoe

[Wakizashi]

Saito Hajime waits for his training partner by sittiing on the ground lotus style.

 

[Kirikoe]

Kirikoe makes his way to the meeting grounds, upon entering the agreed upon meeting place he spots his fellow comrade on the floor sat in the lotus position.

"Hey there"

Kirikoe greeted his comrade with a happy attitude and awaited for his response.

 

[Wakizashi]

Saito Hajime hears Kirikoe as he drew closer. Saito rises to his feet filled with excitement and anticipation knowing that his training was going to be waiting for.

"Great to see you too. Can we begin the training?

 

[Kirikoe]

Sure any time, This thread really should have been in the battle arena though .-. Il ask a mod to move it in a sec.

Kirikoe watches his comrade jump to his feet in an eager display to learn, of course we can begin, I think the best way for you to learn how to best use taijutsu is by first hand experience. so with that said feel free to make the first move

 

[Wakizashi]

i think this is the way you ninja begin you "shinobi Kumite" if my information is correct?

Saito then brings the confrontation handsign before his face showing a form of respect to Kirikoe before charged at him. as Saito appears before Kirikoe he charges chakra to his left arm before thrusting a direct punch, gaining extra power from the momentum of the travel, and the boost of strength assisted by his chakra to strike Kirikoe in the nose, briefly disorienting him.

While his opponent is disoriented Saito sequentially charges chakra to his right hand as he tucked it to his side before thrusting his fist skyward to strike kirikoe's chin, launching him in the air.

upon connection of the uppercut, Saito then charges chakra to both his legs before pushing off the ground launching himself at the same level as kirikoe before swinging his left leg inward striking Kirikoe to his right jaw sending him flying across the sky before smashing against the ground. Saito then falls back to the ground and takes a sigh of relief, before moving his bangs in front of his right eye behind his ear.

Was that too much?

"that is correct, we do it like this" Kirikoe performs the hand-seal to begin the sparring match with his comrade and bows, immediately after bowing he would take his regular stance, it was the stance he always felt most comfortable in, his right leg would shuffle back swiftly, both knee's slightly bent, his feet would be a shoulders width apart in both width and length as if he was standing on the corners of a box, allowing for swift and a sturdy stance, his left hand would rise covering his face in an open palmed position, knife edge facing the opponent his finger tips slightly below his eye level, his right hand would mimic the left however be placed lower down guarding his lower area and be placed just in front of the solar plexus, this all takes but a mere instant.

Kirikoe was now ready and Saito had dashed forth already, a straight punch with his left fist, packed with power and speed came flying towards Kirikoe, if this punch were to connect it would cause Kirikoe's head to jolt backwards, however Kirikoe was not so naive as to be caught by such a punch, as the punch came in Kirikoe would shuffle forwards with his left foot leading, he would enter a drunken like state and weave his head on the outside(left side) of the punch.

"Not bad.. but far to obvious!"

Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 30
Description: This unusual taijutsu style is a unique style of combat Drunken Fist Fighters become human powerhouses who'll strike unpredictability, with no inhibitions, an explosive fury and without any second thoughts about their actions. The user can either make themselves drunk or imitate the method by use of swaying and uneven balance on their feet to attack their opponents a total of 12 variant attacks.

Whiles simultaneously as dodging the straight punch, Kirikoe would perform a counter, his right palm as he shuffles forwards and evades would be sent flying towards his opponents chin, the strike coming from underneath and out of Saito's field of view aimed directly for the chins pressure point, if this were to connect due to the momentum of the shuffle and the opponents own running momentum it would no doubt cause a knock out once it connects.

As if this wasn't enough Kirikoe as he sends forth his palm strike would be performing another movement, using his right leg this time, he would stamp down onto his opponents left knee, directly on the left side of the knee joint, this would cause the knee joint to snap generating a great amount of pain and leaving the left leg unusable, whiles also causing Saito to drop to the floor as Kirikoe's palm strikes upwards causing the opponent to fall directly onto the strike adding more momentum once again, Kirikoe's strike would have the potential to break the jaw bone.

 

[Wakizashi]

Kirikoe evaded and countered Saito's attack in one swift movement, resulting in Saito being hit in the chin causing his head to be back and upwards since the palm strike was coming from below. Saito used his training to take advantage of the situation to get the fight back in favor.

immediately following Saito receiving the strike to the chin, Saito used the transferred momentum of the strike to allow himself to bend backwards the while simultaneously using both feet to push off the ground before Saito placed his hands on the ground and unleash a double heel kick to kirikoe's chin with little force to cause Kirikoe to briefly stumble Kirikoe as he flips from off his handstand back to his feet completing the back flip and gaining a safe distance from his opponent.

Man this person is very skilled in taijutsu to be able to avoid and counter all in the same move with ease takes great discipline. He reminds me of the great, Kaito-sama! I have to be real careful with this one!

After Saito was able to regain his composure, he took his ready stance and waited until his opponent was prepared for whats to come. from there, Saito makes a 360 spin while using his left hand to release a reverse side punch striking Kirikoes Jaw with the back of his fist. As he releases the backfist strike Saito performs another movement, using his left leg Saito performs a front kick striking Kirikoe's abdomen knocking the wind out of Kirikoe before using his right hand to thrust skyward striking his chin.

 

[Kirikoe]

Your reply in itself isn't bad and your description of your techniques are easily understood.

But there are a few issues here, first off you allowed me to hit you in the chin.. which is fine and can sometimes work to your advantage taking a hit.. but in this case its the worst thing you allowed me to do. Simply put my stamp on your knee and strike to your chin happen near simultaneously.. meaning that by taking the hit on the chin you also take the strike to the knee, your knee would snap and you would be sent backwards as your struck in the chin, unable to move one of your legs.


this is where you really need to read very carefully, when sparring someone in taijutsu I read there post several times, and even continue to read it as I write my reply.

A good counter to me would have been the moment I swayed to your outside would be to followed up with an elbow strike.. being that I swayed on the outside I would be close to your elbow anyways and it would cause me to have to dodge once again disrupting my strike to your knee and chin.

Plus the transition from a straight punch to a round elbow can be done under a mere second and can catch someone off guard very suddenly.

Ok lets reset and start a new. Tell me something that you struggle with regarding taijutsu and we can try to work on that.

For example I used to have trouble closing the gap between me and my opponent in the NW when they are using ninjutsu. however have learn't to work around that.

 

[Wakizashi]

I see the error of my ways just because you threw the punch as you were swaying under my straight punch doesn't mean that I have to allow it to connect. I do see that when I did allow you to send your palm straight toward my chin it would leave me open for the next move

Thats it, don't think you need to allow someone to strike you, always think about what type of movements your opponent has made and then use it to your own advantage, for example in my own movement one could consider that upon striking that I would have less balance and could have used that to there advantage. =]

Ok so now I think since its a big part of the NW we should work on you using Taijutsu to fight against Ninjutsu.. =] in which case I will start us off here =P

Kirikoe now stood mid range from his opponent Saito, a strong young shinobi with a burning passion, he reminded Kirikoe of himself in a lot of ways.. in fact.. the two of them were nearly identical..

"Lets start this off then"

Kirikoe would channel Fuuton chakra into his right hands fingers, as he does this he slashes his own hand across his body horizontally releasing a blade of wind from his hand, this would approach with great speed towards Saito..

"Show me what you got!"

 

[Wakizashi]

in reply to Kirikoe releasing a blade of wind towards Saito, he dips low to the ground while pivoting on one foot as the other food is fully extending sweeping the ground, allowing the blade of wind to pass over his head as he perform the reverse leg sweep.

how was that?

This is good but remember that you need to post a taijutsu technique when countering ninjutsu. Otherwise it is considered freeform and is not allowed.

So this can be achieved often by using the drunken fist technique which allows you to make swaying and unsteady movements. =]

You do not need to go by the exact description of the technique, the technique allows you to do a number of things so you can nitpick at these things.

I often use drunken fist for evasion and counters, It allows for free range of movement unlike other tai canon techs.

 

[Wakizashi]

i did forget to post the technique. It is so funny because i was staring at the technique for so long so i can write down the description correctly. And at the end i didnt even post it.

as for the drunken fist technique, it also expands the range of movement because the unpredictable nature of the technique?

LOL this is bad xD try not to forget such a thing as your opponent in the NW will quote you for using freeform and you will lose by default.

Drunken fist doesn't grant you extra range of movement. its something you can naturally do anyways. it just allows you to counter ninjutsu by utilising drunken fist. Remember everything which doesn't use chakra can be performed freeform. however when fighting against ninjutsu you must post the technique so as it is not considered freeform if you know what I mean.

Drunken fist imo allows you to pull off basic movements and actions.. which you can normally do freeform anyways but it allows you to combat ninjutsu via doing so and it isn't counted as freeform..

Honestly you can do so much utilising only drunken fist its really great.

Just remember when fighting against ninjutsu, its the actions within the taijutsu techniques that are your best friend, such as evasive movements..

For example leaf thunder fist would allow you to leap over an opponents ninjutsu technique (within reason of course, you can't really leap over something too large scale)

Drunken fist allows you to sway around and underneath techniques and move freely around ninjutsu, once again its best if you don't use this against large scale techniques. Heck you could even jump over a technique by utilising drunken fist.

 

[Wakizashi]

okay i understand now. when it comes to fightning ninjutsu with taijutsu, you have to post the taijutsu technique for it wont be counted as freeform for it to be a valid.

what about when advancing to the opponent while the opponent is using ninjutsu

 

[Kirikoe]

This varies.. It all depends on the situation.

there are many ways you can advance towards your opponent whiles they are performing ninjutsu, one way is like ive described, simply dodge past there technique and continue moving forwards, You can also use ninjutsu yourself to tank certain techniques and close the gap further in order to aid your own taijutsu. Its really quite simple =]

 

[Wakizashi]

can you be able to show me an example

 

[Kirikoe]

An example? hm Go read mine and souji's battle.. Its fairly diverse atm imo just take a look at the first few moves and how I get in combat to start with..

Of course you are always going to get one person that will want you to stay away no matter the cost however you just take each move as they come and act accordingly, Some you can manoeuvre round and others you have to either counter or go a different route entirely..


Ide advise looking at all the different battles, mainly taijutsu users and watch how they get close despite having ninjutsu and everything else thrown at them.. they often use Tai based ninjutsu to help them xD

 

[Wakizashi]

gotcha. I have did my research when it comes to advancing while dealing with ninjutsu

Now what about retrying to do this who whole taijutsu battle where i can apply what i just learned.
