So I assume you know pretty much everything about this fighting style... but give me, in your own words, what life is the principles and ideas behind this fighting style.

Type: NinTaijutsu
Background:
For years, countless warriors have fallen to larger enemies due to their own smaller stature and weaker physical prowess. Many tactics were created to compensate for this disadvantage, though many failed. However, during the Warring States Period, the warrior Roland encountered an enemy of much greater size. His opponent was a taijutsu master and had incredible raw physical strength. During his battle, Roland was at a disadvantage. He was unable to create an opening in the man due to his great size, speed, and strength. As such, Roland was forced to retreat and was unable to claim victory. While hidden, Roland began developing a way to compensate for his disadvantage. He needed a way to bind his enemy and deliver a much more fatal blow while at the same time sapping his strength and winding him through powerful blows. He created the bolas – a simple weapon, yet complex in its use. By combining his already existent taijutsu skills with this new weapon, Roland created a new fighting style, dubbed “Way of the Bolas”. As it further developed it, the Bolas could act as a conduit through which chakra could be channeled through, giving it certain properties that enhanced the abilities of the weapon. When he encountered the taijutsu master opponent again, his linear fighting style made it easy to predict his moves and intercept him with the bolas. The bolas bound him and rendered his taijutsu useless.
Description and Inner Workings of the Style:
The bolas are a very simple weapon in design. The creation of a bolas requires rope and weights. The base of the bolas is a straight rope. It is thicker than regular string yet thinner than large industrial rope. At roughly the middle it branches off into two or more rope branches. At the end of each of these is a weight. Each of the weights are equal in size. The bolas itself can consist of two or more weights (maximum of six). To throw a bolas one needs to understand the timing of a bolas. The user will grip the bolas from the nexus and gives the bolas momentum by swinging them. Using good timing they will be released from the hand and will swing toward the opponent at very fast speeds. The best target to use a bolas on is the opponent’s legs. It will restrict them and limit their mobility severely. Upon impact it will bind them and usually cause them to stumble and fall forward. With more weights and more force the bolas can actually cause injuries such as severe bruising and broken legs.
There are three methods of using a bolas in combat. All of which revolve around binding the target’s legs or arms. The first is a regular projectile bolas with no chakra channeled through it. As stated above the user will grip the bolas from the nexus and swing it to give the balls momentum. Upon release it will aim to bind the legs (preferably) or possibly the arms. The damage from this can vary depending on the strength put behind it. It can range from simple bruising to broken bones.
The second method is by channeling chakra into the bolas. One can channel either their raiton or katon chakra into the bolas. By channeling raiton chakra the bolas will gain a paralysis effect upon impact causing numbness in the localized region where it strikes. The stronger the raiton the greater the paralysis effect. The second chakra release method is katon. The user cannot channel extremely high amounts of katon chakra into the bolas as it will cause the rope on it to disintegrate. However one can channel controlled amounts of katon chakra into the weights on the end causing them to heat up. Upon impact the weights will cause first degree burns in addition to the regular bonuses the bolas gains.
The third method is by creating a tether to the bolas through the use of raiton chakra. It is based on the same idea as Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Running Technique. With the tether the user is able to control the path of the bolas. The advantage to this is that the user can attack from a different angle rather than the regular straight forward attack with a bolas. However the disadvantage with this is that since it does not move linearly it will lose momentum and not strike as hard. It will lose the impact strength to break bones. However it will retain bruising capability and a numbness effect along with its binding ability. By using this method the user will have to constantly focus and maintain their chakra which will make them unable to use other jutsu without a clone.
Bolas can have more than two weights on them causing various effects. However multiple weights will not change the core aim of this style – to bind the opponent at the legs or arms.

So Way of the Bolas. The core aim of the style is to use a simple weapon in design. The weapon - called a bolas - is two - six weights attached by rope which the user will spin at the nexus causing the weights to spin along with it. The user can throw them in various ways but all to bind the target at the arms or legs tightly with the rope and weights.
The advanced usage of this style is to channel elemental chakra into it. Specifically lightning and fire. Lightning adds to the binding effect of the style making it incredibly hard to escape from by paralyzing the target as well and inflicting electrical burns. The user can also use fire chakra to burn the target. The fire chakra won't ignite the weights but it will certainly inflict massive damage.
The user can also use more weights on the bolas to have varying effects as well. The bolas, with their momentum, can easily break bones and inflict severe damage in that regard too. So even if they don't manage to bind the target the damage inflicted by a simple weight will be pretty high.
Oh...and due to training I'll have increased reactions and strength ;_;
Good. They're much stronger than conventional ninja weapons as a result. You covered it pretty well.
*makes a bunch of Shadow Clones*
Ok, so here's the weapon that forms the crux of the fighting style. Hold the string at the middle or slightly staggered, so when you spin it, the bolas won't hit each other. Be detailed in how you actually perform the spin and the sensations, etc etc.
Once you've gained enough momentum and rotational force, I want you to throw it at one of my fodders clones; more specifically, at his feet. When you throw the bolas, it opens up and spins, with both bolas weights stretching out the string straight and spinning. When it hits my clone, their feet will hit the string and the velocity of the bolas will cause them to rotate at a given axis; in this case, my clone. They'll keep spinning around my clone's legs until there's no more string to wrap around. This effectively binds them.
After that, analyze it... the usual stuff.

*clones watch as Jugram handles his balls*
Jugram grips the bolas from the nexus and begins spinning. By making slight but quick circular motions in his wrist Jugram begins to feel the weights pick up speed at the end of their branches of rope. They quickly pick up momentum. As this happens Jugram can feel the weights rotation.
Jugram focuses his eyes on his senpai's clone and aims for the legs. With perfect timing he releases his hand just when the weights reach the perfect position for their momentum to allow it to fly toward the clone. With great force the rope wraps around the clone's legs as the weights keep spinning around them and effectively bind the legs. The weights will continue to do this until the entire rope on both branches is fully used. At that point the weights will stop with their full momentum and smash into the clone's legs breaking them and dispersing the clone.
Good, you learned the very first jutsu!
Now moving onto the advanced version of this base technique. Good thing you catch on quickly. Since you can't wield more than one bolas at a time, take one and channel Katon chakra through it, heating them up. Throw it at another one of my clones and note the differences in effects of the jutsu.
And for the final jutsu that we've developed for the CFS, take another bolas and channel Raiton chakra through it. Same process as the Katon version, but depending on how much Raiton chakra you channel, it can take on different ranks and effects. If you channel enough to make it a B-rank jutsu, it can cause numbness in an area. If it's A-rank, total paralysis at said area. If it's S-rank, it causes full body paralysis and electrical burns.
Try each rank on each clone. Note effects, etc.

(Bōrasu no Michi: Baindingu no Surō) – Way of the Bolas: Binding Throw
Type: Offensive
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short-Long
Chakra: 20
Damage: 40
Description: This is the most basic use of the principle of Way of the Bolas. The user will withdraw a bolas from their tool pouch and grip it from the nexus of the rope. They will begin swinging it overhead to gain momentum and then release it directly at the target. If aimed at the target’s legs and arms the bolas will bind the opponent. Even if it does not bind them the weights still do direct blunt damage. A direct hit with a bolas weight can break bones.
Note: The user cannot wield two bolas at once.

Jugram grips the bolas from the nexus and begins spinning. By making slight but quick circular motions in his wrist Jugram begins to feel the weights pick up speed at the end of their branches of rope. They quickly pick up momentum. As this happens Jugram can feel the weights rotation.
Jugram focuses his eyes on his senpai's clone and aims for the legs. With perfect timing he releases his hand just when the weights reach the perfect position for their momentum to allow it to fly toward the clone. With great force the rope wraps around the clone's legs as the weights keep spinning around them and effectively bind the legs. The weights will continue to do this until the entire rope on both branches is fully used. At that point the weights will stop with their full momentum and smash into the clone's legs breaking them and dispersing the clone. However, unlike the previous technique, the bolas this time disperses the clone through blunt force damage and the burns. Because of the very powerful fire chakra channeled into the Bolas the victim will experience severe burns. The burns will easily melt flesh as they are A-Rank in strength.
It is important to remember with this technique that the weights do not ignite or explode with the channeled fire chakra. They merely heat up to a temperature hot enough to burn the flesh. So this makes them incredibly hard to touch. Elemental strengths and weaknesses do apply to this
. With the next technique Jugram channels raiton chakra into the bolas exactly as he did with the fire chakra. The lightning channels into the weights giving it electrical properties. He does it to a high enough point to where it becomes S-Rank in the amount of chakra he puts into it and then releases the weights as he has done twice so before at the clone. The weights strike and bind the clone while at the same time releasing a powerful electrical current into the clone causing it to disperse and kill it. The electrical burns are pretty severe with this technique as well and inflict some pretty serious damage while causing a full body paralysis.
Basically if this variation hits as an S-Rank technique it is game over for the victim. Full body paralysis as well as powerful electrical burns combined with the current of electricity flowing through them the damage is severe and almost lethal. Coupled with the blunt force damage of the technique that can break bones they are pretty screwed.
Excellent!
*remaining clones give golf claps*
Now, to make this official.
I, Souji, give you, Drackos, official permission to submit Way of the Bolas CFS techniques.
If you have no questions, we're done here. For now ^_^
