"helped"? Lol, he was the one who made most of it. #DrackosisthecooliestIt's a nice idea. Props to you if you helped with it.
Ok.

Bōrasu no Michi | Way of the Bolas
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.

In your own words, give me the essentials of the CFS. Also, what are some pluses or negatives? Got any insights? Why do you want to learn this other than to gain more power? U_U

It's a rather commonly seen thing at least in movies and whatnot. Bolas are basically ropes with weights on either end of them or some form of that (yarn, strings, wire, metal wire, etc.) that serve the purpose of wrapping your opponent up, stopping them and binding them or tripping them, leaving them completely vulnerable when you throw them at a certain target(s). Byt swinging them to gain momentum, of curse, and letting themgo at a rather nice speed. I don't even have to read the CFS to know everything about it (although I did, of course). This CFS style focuses on the use of bolas in the same sense I explained but you guys made it a lot more lethal by implanting elemental chakra into the mix. So it is the core idea of what I stated, but overall deadlier. Plus parts would be the fact that they are highly capable of stopping further movement, the weights are heavy so most if not all of the current techniques are capable of brute force such as breaking bones or knocking your opponent out. Again, another plus is the elemental combination, making the style deadlier and each element has their strengths and weakness and in their strengths, the bonus of what that element would normally do. Examples being lightning bolas: Shock and paralyzing effects, fire bolas: super-heated effects that can severely burn a target on contact, or if there was an earth bola, it would most likely essentially be brute force. Weaknesses would be that they are linear weapons in general and unless there is a created jutsu for it, goes one way, all of the time. Could possibly be blocked by merely stronger attacks and defenses, other than that they seem rather useful. All that being said, minus what you already told me not to say, I realize this CFS could be extremely useful tactically and in combination with other things and that's how I want to start fighting. Tactically. I like the idea of the CFS, so I thought "Why not?".
Remove yourself.

I'll get you after.
Ok. Nice work. You covered the elemental aspect of it, and I liked your response.
*tosses a set of bolas at you and makes clones*
Practice twirling those bolas by gripping the nexus of the string and swinging them, allowing the weights at each end to gain rotational acceleration and subsequently, momentum.
Just throw those bolas and note how they fly towards my clones, and aim for different spots, noting how the bolas attack and affect them. This is your chance to beat me up, so make the most of it
I'll observe your performances and point out any possible errors, etc.
Whenever you're ready.
