[Tai] With the power of youth!!

[Byakuya K]

Exactly! Plus you could use a freeform Tai attack. The possibilities are endless.
Now, let's imagine for a moment that I'm a bad guy that you're fighting. Short range. Attack me using Ninjutsu and any of the C-ranked techniques on the list. Let's see if you can come up with a good combination.

As soon as Byakuya hears such words, he quickly closes the short distance between him and a clone of his sensei. He steps forward with his left leg and with his right, he raises his knees in a quick speed hitting the clone in the abdomen most likely knocking the wind out of him and as he doubles over, Byakuya retracts his knee and quickly replaces his knee with an open palm in an upward motion and force sending the clone up into the air. As the clone descends right above him, Byakuya forms the ox hand seal and raises his left hand up gathering lightning chakra into his hand and the clone falls right onto his hand causing the lightning covered hand to penetrate right through the clone's chest dispersing him immediately.

(Shōshitsu) - Rising Knee
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user will strike their opponent with an upwards thrust with their knee.

(Shōgekishō) - Upwards Attacking Palm
Rank: C
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra cost: N/A
Damage points: 30
Description: The user strikes their opponent with an upwards thrust into the abdomen lifting them into the air.

(Raiton: Chidori) - Lightning Release: One Thousand Birds
Rank: A
Type: Offense
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: 30
Damage Points: 60
Description: The user must first perform the following sequence of hand seals Ox → Rabbit → Monkey → Dragon → Rat → Bird → Ox → Snake → Dog → Tiger → Monkey and they will then focus lightning chakra into their hand to create a lightning jutsu that is concentrated in the user's palm and thrusted toward the opponent at high speed. The lightning in the user's palm sounds like birds chirping, hence the name, and allows the user to perform high grade cutting damage or high penetration piercing thrusts.
Note: Someone who mastered lightning release can perform chidori with just the Ox hand seal.
Note: Uchiha Sasuke and Kakashi Hatake bios can use the technique without handseals

That's a nice combination, in theory, but if we were to switch places and you were to counter your own attack, where would you start?
With the first offensive move.
Myself and pretty much everyone else would avoid that attack and then counterattack. Now, if I swerve out of the way of that knee smash and jab at your neck with a kunai then it makes the rest of your move irrelevant.
Always make your first strike count. A smart opponent might even use your knee smash against you. A good Nagashi would be extremely effective at such ranges, or techniques that require physical contact. Your first strike should always be deadly... everything else is just for show.

I'd say that's enough for C-ranks. Remember that any questions you may have, no matter how trifling they may seem to you, you're welcome and encouraged to ask.
Pick out a B-ranked technique and analyze it for me. We'll go through the B-ranks a bit more in-depth.

Like you said, I would probably counter that in a way that would throw off the rest of the combo. I would either dodge or use a jutsu to keep my opponent from getting colse enough to me to perform such a move. However, I am not very experienced in fighting. I usually if not always base my combo off of my first move, making the other two dependent upon the first. Would it be too much to ask you to show me an example of how would you make a combo like the one above?

Raijin: Zeus is a really interesting move to me. It sounds simple enough for it is just an uppercut but I think it is pretty complex with the fact that this move utilizes lightning chakra to enhance the power of the move. I'm not too sure, but this seems like an example of nintaijutsu. I think this move is pretty hefty because of the lightning, it can go through a lot of defenses as well.

I would not use three techniques, just one Tai and potentially one supplementary Nin. It could be the S-ranked Hardening technique combined with a good dose of Suiken. That'd allow for a lethal strike to the chest, neck or head. An attack where a hit means a kill.

Zeus is nice, it's elemental Tai. Most of the people I'm training mention that as their interesting B-rank, so I'll give you the same task next; examine Hien, Flying Swallow, the other elemental Taijutsu technique among the B-ranks.
Do remember, however, that these techniques cost chakra, so they need to be powerful because they cannot be supplemented by Ninjutsu performed simultaneously.

I think that the Flying Swallow move is really useful. I really like how we can alter the range of the blade by control the amount of chakra put into it so it is pretty unpredictable. I also like how it is an 18 hit combo allowing me to vary the types of hits and where I hit. This move within itself is pretty hard to get away from because of its versatility. To think of cons, I would say that it is draining of chakra. Even though it is a taijutsu move, it uses chakra so this move should be used wisely.

Yup. Tai or not the chakra cost makes it basically a pseudo-Ninjutsu technique, in that it really just becomes a normal B-rank with a limited range. Not so useful when you put it like that, eh?
Tell me about (Kōsa Hō) – Intersection Method, please. So far we've analyzed a lot of offensive techniques, but supplementary and defensively-minded techniques are few and far between. How does this one look to you?

I personally really like this technique because it is not only a block it is also a counter. This can effectively stop a combo and stop my opponent from performing more taijutsu attacks. I don't know if there's much else to say about it as it is simple and self explanatory but at the same time complex and a great counter.

Could crush a man's arm with a technique like that and some timing. Think about it
You've got a lot of Goken, kick-based techniques on the list, courtesy of Gai and Lee I wager. Pick out one of the kicks that catch your eye and tell me why it did so.

While I was tempted to pick Triple Dynamic Entry (due to the sheer overkillness of it xD) I choose Leaf Strong Whirlwind instead. Reason is pretty simple, as stated in the description it's not just power alone but power with speed as well. This technique uses the momentum of the user and passes it along to the person taking the kick dealing not only pain but sending him/her away as well. (I wish I knew some cool Physics terminology to go along with my response..)

Screw the Physics terminology, man! That's a good answer!

(Konoha Gōriki Senpū ) - Leaf Strong Whirlwind

Spoiler

Rank: B
Type: Attack
Range: Short
Chakra Cost: N/A
Damage Points: 40
Description: A taijutsu using a combination of speed and power. The essence of this technique is concentrated in a spinning back kick, with such speed that makes it hard to follow the user's movement, smashing his enemy with overwhelming strength. This is a more Powerful leaf great whirlwind.

A spinning back kick supported by speed and power, delivered anywhere you please. It's a very good technique, it is. Especially if you have Leg Weights
Anyway, there are a ton of Kick-related techniques on the list. Some of them are a little weird, like this one:

( Konoha Toppū ) - Leaf Gust

Spoiler

Type: Offensive/Defensive
Rank: B-Rank
Range: Short
Chakra: N/A
Damage: 40
Description:
Using simple, yet effective movement when performing a counter attack or a freeform hand attack, the user will manage to spin rapidly and performs a strong rotative high kick to hit the opponent. The technique can be triggered in many ways and more than one kick can be delivered if the user manages to gather enough momentum.

What can you tell me about this technique?
