Starting off simple.
Why exactly do you want to learn Taijutsu?

 

[Legendary Broly]

.. Now .. let me think about that for a second Sensei ..

You must be registered for see images

Well, I would like to learn Taijutsu because I love Hand to hand combat. Also, because it generally requires no Hand seals, it could be a very valuable skill to have due to the fact that it is quicker to use than Genjustu or Ninjutsu. This would mean I could gain an advantage over my opponent.

Taijutsu would allow me to save more chakra and time as well. Furthermore, I am interested in potentially learning a form of Nintaijutsu.​

 

[Adachi]

Hm...NinTaijutsu. I see, I see, interesting...
You are correct, as it requires no handseals, it is often executed in a quicker, yet more deadly manner. A great technique to use, especially if you wish to catch your opponent by surprise in close range.

Alright, well, allow us to start simple - we will learn some more basics as we progress. First, let's start simple.
Run up to my clone and punch him anywhere you wish.

 

[Legendary Broly]

Punch his clone ? Now that does sound simple.

Maybe this is why Sensei does not like teaching Taijutsu..

I look at my Senpai's clone .. it is about 10 metres in front of me.

I stretch a little before lowering my stance. I then push of with my feet and begin to run at the clone, picking up speed as I advance towards it.

As I approach I wonder where I should hit him.. a D rank technique comes to mind.

Hmm..well I could practice this I guess.. so the chest it is !

As I approach arms length away from the clone I ball my right hand into a fist and draw my right arm back .. I then thrust my arm forward towards the clones chest. As I do so, I jump forward as well, putting all my weight behind the punch.

I feel my fist connect with the clones chest before it disappears.

I stop moving a few metres from where the clone once was and find myself in a crouching position.

I look up at my Sensei awaiting further instructions. ​

 

[Adachi]

Alright, excellent. Nicely executed, good read! Ahaha, quite the fan of L, are you?
But first of all, what do you think the purpose of running before punching someone serves?
And where might be the most vital part to punch a person?

 

[Legendary Broly]

Quite the fan of L ? I am L !

Haha but yeah I am, I even have a Fanclub for him :ghehe:

• • • • • •

As I straighten myself up, I hear my Senpai praise me to my joy .. and then I hear his questions..

First of all, what do you think the purpose of running before punching someone serves?
And where might be the most vital part to punch a person?

Argh.. I thought Taijutsu was about the physical stuff.. I didn't know I had to think..

I plop myself down in front of him on a nearby log.

"Umm well Sensei, the purpose of running before punching someone would probably be because it gives you greater momentum. Greater momentum would mean greater force would be behind the punch. Therefore, the punch would ultimately be more beneficial as it would injure and cause more pain to your opponent. "

Okay L, now answer the other question..

Vital part to punch a person?.. Vital part ? .. Ummm... ummm..

"Argh.. well Sensei, the most Vital part to punch a person can vary depending on the situation. For instance if you only want to stun your opponent and not kill them then you would punch them directly in the base of the nose. This should cause some disorientation due to pain and watering eyes etc and in some cases unconsciousness. Unconsciousness could be especially beneficial if you wish to capture your opponent. You could also strike your opponents jaw if you wish to simply stun them as it causes pain due to breaking of teeth and bone as well as possible unconsciousness. Furthermore you could punch an opponent in the Solar Plexus as this can cause temporary paralization which can allow you to gain the upper hand over an opponent."

"Now if you are punching your opponent with the intent to kill or seriously injure , the most vital parts of the body to punch would be the temple or throat. Punching an opponents temple hard enough can cause disorientation, unconsciousness, severe pain, seizures and if hit hard enough - death. As for the throat, if punched hard enough you can rupture the opponents wind pipe or even break the throats cartilage which would result in certain death. "

As I begin to stand up again I remember something else..

"Oh yeah , but really Sensei, the most vital part to punch a person really depends on what part of their body is exposed to you. If you can get a good punch there and wound them.. that part becomes vulnerable. It then becomes vital to continue punching them in this vulnerable area as eventually the pain can become too much and overwhelm them."

I am back on my feet stretching. I take a look at my Sensei who has a strange look on his face.

"Sorry Sensei, I do have a habit of talking too much" ​

 

[Adachi]

"All good," I responded, smiling. "In Taijutsu, it is important that you are always specific in what you do. Because the human body is unique as of itself, and there are so many forces going around us at once (law of physics), it is necessary to remember and write down what you do during a physical fight. You nicely covered that."
I paused for a moment, letting my gaze linger over Lss. "If I were to punch you, I'd say specifically that I aimed my knuckle toward your sternum and your rib, compressing it against the heart, instantly crushing your heart and giving you a heart attack.
I will teach you several vital places on the body as we progress through the training, but you must always keep in mind.
1. Your opponent's field of sight.
2. How much power you put into your punch.
3. What and how did you hit your opponent?
Being specific allows less arguments to happen and for more deliberate moves to happen."
Forming the Tiger handseal, I created a single clone.
"You used your hand," I said. "Curled up, your hand is a strong force and can literally break through many things, especially if you apply chakra to increase the power. Now, we will move on to your legs. Explain how they differ from a fist and their power level in a fight."

[Legendary Broly]

WTH .. heart attack. I didn't like the fact that my Sensei would try and kill me and not capture me instead T_T

I nodded to my Sensei, I would keep in mind all that he said.

"Curled up, your hand is a strong force and can literally break through many things, especially if you apply chakra to increase the power. Now, we will move on to your legs. Explain how they differ from a fist and their power level in a fight."

Ah what ? More talking and thinking..

Spoiler

(Your training actually makes me have to think lol t(-_- )t )

I ponder over my Sensei's question and examine my own legs and hands..

"Well, in the legs the muscles are a lot bigger than in the arms. Therefore kicks would have more power than a punch would because the force behind it is a lot bigger. This in turn would cause more damage to your opponent. However, despite the Kick having more power, a punch is typically a lot faster."

Hmm.. I didn't say very much this time.. I probably forgot something.. hopefully Sensei will fill in the gaps.. ​

 

[Adachi]

"That's quite enough," I replied, nodding. "You're precisely correct. Of course, the muscles in the leg are definitely stronger, allowing you a stronger strike, and don't forget the length of your leg also offers a longer range. Also, because your legs take up a huge weight of your body, if say, you start running forward, you can collect momentum and power, and by using the law of gravity, you can bring it down all at once to crash your leg upon the opponent with a deadly force."
I created another Shadow Clone, gesturing at it. "Now, Mr. Broly," I instructed. "Begin by running at my clone to collect momentum, then when you feel that you have enough power, deliver a kick into my face."

 

[Legendary Broly]

Yay, my once a month reply is here ! xD

Wow Sensei, words of wisdom. I make sure to absorb all this information in.

"Begin by running at my clone to collect momentum, then when you feel that you have enough power, deliver a kick into my face."

Hmm sounds simple enough. I line myself up with Sensei's Shadow Clone about 30 meters from him. 30 meters should be enough to collect momentum.

I stand with a good stance and hype myself up.

Soon I am pumped and begin running at the Clone, fast.

I am going so fast my vision begins to get blurred, and my arms start to feel the burn as they slice through the air repeatedly. I am about 10 meters away from the clone when I decide it is time to get kicking.

I leap from the ground, and pull my left leg up wards. By the time it is fully extended I make contact with the clones face.

-poof-

The clone disappears and I land in a low stance.

I look up at my Sensei,

"How was that?"​

 

[Adachi]

>.>
---
He looked slightly breathless, but there was a bright look in his eyes as I nodded my full disapproval. A rather wild, rash kick, yet I could not deny the passionate execution behind it. "Well, well," I said. "That looked quite like the 180 degree kick there. Allow me to introduce another concept. There are generally two different kinds of kicks, one being 180, the other being 360. What might be some major differences between these two?"

 

[Legendary Broly]

Oh wow , 2 replies in one month.. will I be third time lucky? xD

. . . . . .

"That looked quite like the 180 degree kick there. Allow me to introduce another concept. There are generally two different kinds of kicks, one being 180, the other being 360. What might be some major differences between these two?"

Well umm.. I guess a 360 Kick requires more of a run up and obviously more body rotation, where as a 180 kick you don't need much of a run up if any. You can do it from a stand start, by simply jumping up and twisting in the air.​

 

[Adachi]

I contemplated Broly's response for a moment. "You are definitely correct," I told him. "But you simply told me how one might execute them. Think more of their power and speed for a moment and what situations may be appropriate to execute one or the other."

 

[Legendary Broly]

"Oh I see Senpai. Well for the 360 kick you need a run up.. in order for you to perform a good 360 kick, you need quite a degree of speed in this run up. Additionally, a run up and more speed will mean the kick will also have a lot more power behind it as opposed to a 180 kick that requires no run up at all. A good situation to perform a 360 kick would be if you found yourself a good distance away from your opponent."

"As for the 180 kick, you too would need speed to execute it. This is due to the fact that you need to perform the kick quickly in order to catch your opponent off guard or prevent them from being able to block it successfully. Additionally, a faster kick means more power so you would also be able to damage your opponent more. A good time to perform a 180 kick would be if you wanted to catch your opponent off guard. You could be talking to them.. then BAM.. 180 kick"​

 

[Adachi]

"Perfect response," I replied instantly - this guy knew his stuff. "Speaking of timing though," I continued, remembering his words about the speed and power of the kicks. "I'd like to go over it briefly. It is an important aspect in battles. Extremely important. By keeping good common sense, you can utilize this in detail in all your fights.
Let's say for example that your opponent had a lightning jutsu, but you had a pressurized water jutsu.
That Lightning jutsu would take longer to travel to you (range plays a HUGE ROLE in timing), and also because the Lightning is propelled only by the user itself, it would not hit you before your move.
Your pressurized water jutsu would be propelled forward due to the pressure you put on it before you released it, and also because you are standing close to your opponent (assuming we are at mid range), it would hit your opponent before you.
Use common sense when determining such things in battle, as small details missed can change a fight greatly.
Range also plays a huge role, but I can go over that later."
I shrugged, letting him take it all in at once. "Okay. Let's say you were just walking along the road and I come over and stick a leg out in your path and trip you. What happens? Describe the process."

[Legendary Broly]

Haha lol this sounds like such a basic question.. but I feel as though it is suppose to have a complicated answer..

. . . . . .

I guess if I were to be tripped by your leg I would stumble as in order to be tripped up, my foot would be suspended above the ground. This means only one leg would be supporting me at the time you stuck your leg out and hence would easily throw me off balance as you are not as sturdy on one foot as you are on two. This would cause me to stumble and fall off balance.. cause me to fall forward slightly until I planted both feet back on the ground regaining stability. In a severe case, I could potentially fall straight on my face.

*Insert correct answer below this post*
:L​

 

[Adachi]

"Good job explaining the effect," I responded. "But also remember that throwing your enemies off balance also leaves them vulnerable for a short, yet vital timing, that you can take advantage of. Maintaining balance is important for your body, in both metabolical (not a word ) terms, and also in normal balance. Losing balance basically releases your bodies control over you and succumbs you to the law of physics. Keep this point in mind for this next jutsu (and any time you trip someone, haha)."
I created a shadow clone about mid range from Broly once more. "Remember that the legs keep the body standing, no? So, aim for that. Begin with a running start to gain momentum, then deliver a spinning kick to my clone's legs (below the knee is best by the way, because enough force can crack it. The higher you aim, the more power it needs, but the higher your opponent will go and also, the more pain there is). Knock him off balance and aim to give him the most pain possible." I pointed at the clone.

"Oh awesome, good advice. Thanks Sensei."

"Remember that the legs keep the body standing, no? So, aim for that.

The higher you aim, the more power it needs, but the higher your opponent will go and also, the more pain there is). Knock him off balance and aim to give him the most pain possible."

Well since we need to cause him the most pain possible, but still knock him off balance, I am afraid I will have to ignore your suggestion to aim below the knee. Instead I will target the thigh just above the knee joint, which if I kick hard enough will cause a lot of pain and even knock the clone off balance as it should cause the Quadricep to be crushed against the thigh bone (Quadricep contusion) resulting in a dead leg. Now if I really kick hard enough, I will actually be able to crack the thigh bone which is said to to be the most painful bone to break, but also the hardest. So I guess I will need to get a lot of power behind this kick.

After analysing all I needed to do I come to the conclusion that it would be best to aim for one leg. It would be more effective than aiming at both legs as the pressure exerted in the kick across them would be half as strong as a kick to one leg and be less likely to knock them off balance. I would come into the leg from the side, aiming just above the knee joint on the thigh. I will come down hard on this area from above, as like Sensei said, the law of physics should help me out here, my kick hard enough to make the clone buckle and the downwards force of my kick, assisted with the law of physics should cause the clone to fall downwards.

I stretch my right leg, my kicking leg briefly, before pacing a good few meters away from my Sensei's clone.

I take in a deep breath, and begin to run at the clone.

When I am reaching leg length from the clone, I leap up and begin to twist in the air. About 1/2 through my spin I begin to come downwards.. as I approach 3/4 of the way through my spin I am coming down hard on the side of the clones left leg , just above the knee. I put all my weight into it and all the power I can, which is a lot more due to gravities help.

I hit the side of the clones quad with a CRACK and watch as the clone buckles forwards, his face screwing up in pain. I almost lose my own balance from the contact, stumbling a few paces from the clone. The clone falls forwards, leg unable to support him, hitting the ground and then vanishing.

Wow. That was awesome.

"Okay Sensei, how was that?"​

 

[Adachi]

Once again, that calm, yet calculated look on Broly's face. Watching yet another amazing demonstration from the student, he executed a pitch perfect to my clone, causing quite some pain before it disappeared.
I couldn't help but clap, to be honest - he even remembered to use his dominant leg! "Don't forget the concepts I just taught you about balance," I concluded as I told him the name of the move he just learned. "Now, we will move on to a completely new topic."
Creating yet another clone, I gestured at it with a single hand. "This next move is known as a feint. Begin by running at my clone to build momentum and power. When you get in range of him, aim a kick towards the top section of his body, then directly afterwards, kick with your other foot towards his rib cage, and proceed to finish him off with several more kicks of your choice."
