Information on Taijutsu! Ugh, this took me an extremely long time to compile, but thanks to wikipedia and leafninja.com, I managed to pull it off!
Taijutsu (体術, lit. 'Body techniques' ? ) is a term for martial arts techniques that rely on body dynamics. In some lines of Aikido, the word 'taijutsu' denotes all Aikido work without weapons.
Taijutsu techniques may include strikes, kicks, joint locks, throws and many of the techniques found in the martial arts like Aikido, Judo and Karate, etc. While most of its aspects appear external, the dedicated student will find many internal aspects as well.
Taijutsu is commonly associated with the schools that teach ninjutsu, although there are many koryu schools with no relation to ninjutsu that have taijutsu in their curriculum, such as Asayama Ichiden-ryu. Taijutsu was used by bushi, some ninja also used their own version of taijutsu. The Bukinkan system includes several non-ninjutsu schools, or koryu schools that were taught simultaneously to both ninja and bushi.
As an example, here's an excerpt from the Bujinkan curriculum:
* Taijutsu (body art/movement)
o junan taiso (body conditioning)
o taihenjutsu (body movement)
+ ukemi (falling to the ground)
+ kaiten (rolling)
+ tobi (leaping)
o dakentaijutsu (striking methods)
+ koppojutsu (bone attacks)
+ koshijutsu (muscle attacks)
o jutaijutsu (grappling methods)
+ nage (throws)
+ hajutsu (escapes)
+ gyakuwaza (locks and controls)
+ shimewaza (chokes)
Taijutsu Techniques in Naruto
Achiever of Nirvana Fist
* Name: Rakanken, literally "Achiever of Nirvana Fist"
* Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Jirobo
Jirobo's style of combat is simple, but effective due to his incredible power . Using simple palm strikes, shoulder thrusts, knee strikes, and punches enhanced with his incredible strength, he can easily defeat an opponent in one or two blows.
Bullet Butterfly Bombing
* Name: Chōdan Bakugeki, 蝶弾爆撃, literally "Butterfly Bullet Bombing"
* Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Akimichi clan
This technique is used in combination with the red Akimichi food pill, which burns away all of a ninja's excess fat and converts it into chakra. Because the members of the Akimichi clan tend to be overweight to support their jutsu, this pill can give them 100 times their normal chakra level. To perform the jutsu, the clan member simply channels all their chakra into one hand and punches the enemy. In a manner similar to how Tsunade and Sakura Haruno enhance their strength, channeling so much chakra to one hand and releasing it on contact gives the ninja about 100 times their normal strength. The subsequent impact not only produces a sizable crater, but will likely kill the one on the receiving end.
Clone Body Blow
* Name: Bunshin Taiatari, 分身体当たり, literally "Clone Body Blow"
* Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
* Users: Naruto Uzumaki
Naruto quickly creates a Shadow Clone above himself, which dives at the target using a burst of chakra.
Dance of the Camellia
* Name: Tsubaki no Mai, 椿の舞, literally "Dance of the Camellia"
* Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Kimimaro Kaguya
Kimimaro performs this jutsu by pulling a sword-shaped bone from his arm. The quick movements of the blade and slicing techniques make this a formidable dance. It can make short work of a large number of people.
Dance of the Clematis: Flower
* Name: Tessenka no Mai: Hana, 鉄線花の舞・花, literally "Dance of the Clematis: Flower"
* Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Kimimaro Kaguya
A follow-up to the Dance of the Clematis: Vine, Kimimaro's entire forearm is encased in a giant spearhead made of bone to attack the trapped victim. The bone is strengthened up to become the hardest type of bone drill in the body. The bone is meant to be a flower, hence the name.
Dance of the Clematis: Vine
* Name: Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru, 鉄線花の舞・蔓, literally "Dance of the Clematis: Vine"
* Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Kimimaro Kaguya
Kimimaro pulls out his own spine to use as a whip-like weapon. The bone of the spine is strengthed to make the points on the vertebra as sharp as spikes.
Dance of the Larch
* Name: Karamatsu no Mai, 唐松の舞, literally "Dance of the Larch" (a.k.a. "Dance of the Pines")
* Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Kimimaro Kaguya
Using this jutsu, Kimimaro is able to grow razor-sharp bones all over his body. In addition to being an unwelcome surprise for opponents, it makes him basically unattackable at close range.
Dance of the Willow
* Name: Yanagi no Mai, 柳の舞, literally "Dance of the Willow"
* Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Kimimaro Kaguya
To perform this dance, Kimimaro has long bones come out from the palms of his hands to be used as stabbing swords. These blades are fairly long and incredibly powerful. He then uses both of these bone blades to stab, slice, or even impale his targets.
Double Piercing Fang
* Name: Gatsūga, 牙通牙, literally "Double Piercing Fang", English TV "Man Beast Ultimate Taijutsu: Fang Over Fang"
* Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Kiba Inuzuka, Akamaru
The user and his partner spin at a ferocious speed and deliver many powerful beastlike attacks when contact is made with the target. This attack can be done alone, but is less effective.
Double Wolf Fang
* Name: Garōga, 牙狼牙, literally "Double Wolf Fang"
* Type: B-rank, Offensive, Mid- to long range (5+m)
* Users: Kiba Inuzuka and Akamaru together
After Akamaru uses Dynamic Marking to mark a target and both he and Kiba use Man Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf to become one being, the two perform a much more powerful Double Piercing Fang attack. Like the lesser version, they spin rapidly to attck their target. Unlike the previous version, they move so rapidly that they can't see where they're going, hence the reason for the earlier Dynamic Marking. This move is powerful enough to sever a person in two and even dent a Rashomon gate.
Drunken Fist
* Name: Suiken, 酔拳, literally "Drunken Fist"
* Type: B-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Rock Lee
This unusual style of combat can't be learned or taught. It only occurs naturally. It requires the user to be drunk, obviously. Decent skill in some form of combat is also helpful. Once the former condition is met, the user becomes an unpredicable, confrontational, and generally dangerous menace that few can possibly stop. Lee is particularly talented in this form of combat, hence his sensei's concern whenever he learns that Lee may be exposed to alcohol. While drunk, Lee is basically unstoppable in combat. The unpredictability combined with Lee's formiable taijutsu skills make him a force to be reckoned with. Kimimaro Kaguya was only able to hold Lee off by activating his cursed seal.
Drunken Fist is based on the 8 Immortals Zui Quan style of Chinese martial arts. In the actual martial art, however, intoxication is not a factor; rather, the 'drunken' movements are used to confuse opponents.
Dynamic Entry
* Name: Dainamikku-Entorī, ダイナミック・エントリー, literally "Dynamic Entry", English Dynamic Entry Naruto style Narutimate Entorī (Narutimate Entry)
* Type: D-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Might Guy, Rock Lee
This jutsu is simply a flying jump kick at an enemy. Lee's version tends to be much slower than Guy's, reflecting a difference in skill.
Dynamic Marking
* Name: Dainamikku Mākingu, ダイナミックマーキング, literally "Dynamic Marking"
* Type: No rank, Supplementary, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
* Users: Akamaru
This jutsu involves Akamaru urinating on a target, allowing both him and Inuzuka Kiba to track it by scent. The two practice this in the forest, and Akamaru is accurate to hit multiple targets in rapid succession. This is a prerequisite for using Double Wolf Fang, since the speed of the technique makes it impossible for the user to see anything. Akamaru's urine is apparently somewhat acidic, given Sakon's comment that it burned when Akamaru urinated in his eyes.
Eight Gates Bombardment
* Name: Zesshou Hachimon Hougeki, 絶招・八門崩撃, literally "Eight Gates Bombardment"
* Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Neji Hyuga
This jutsu involves attacking and closing the eight life gates.
Eight Trigrams Empty Palm
* Name: Hakke Kūshō, 八卦空掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Empty Palm" (or "Eight Trigrams Wind Palm")
* Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
* Users: Neji Hyuga
In a manner similar to Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin, only with a specific target rather than a general area, the user does a palm thrust at an opponent while expelling a large burst of chakra from their palm. This violently pushes the opponent away. The opponent does not need to be within reach of the user for the attack to be effective.
Eight Trigram Palms Great Heavenly Spin
* Name: Hakkeshō Dai Kaiten, 八卦掌大回天, literally "Eight Trigram Palms Great Heavenly Spin" (a.k.a. "Great Divine Whirl" or "Great Divine Spin") English Eight Trigrams Large Palm Rotation
* Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
* Users: Hyuga clan
This jutsu is simply a larger and more powerful version of the Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin.
Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin
* Name: Hakkeshō Kaiten, 八卦掌回天, literally "Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin" (a.k.a. "Divine Whirl" or "Divine Spin") Viz "Eight Trigrams Palm Rotation"
* Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Hyuga clan
This jutsu utilizes the chakra control gained through Gentle Fist training to release a large amount of chakra from the users palms. At the same time, the users spins themselves rapidly, creating a shield of chakra around themselves. This creates a defense that can stop any attack, and even throw people back if they get too close.
Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms
* Name: Hakke Rokujū Yonshō, 八卦六十四掌, literally "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms" English Eight Trigrams: Sixty Four Palm
* Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Hyuga clan
This jutsu closes off 64 specific chakra points on an opponent's body, effectively eliminating their ability to use chakra for quite some time. It begins with two heavy strikes, followed by two more, followed by four, eight, sixteen, thirty-two, and finally sixty-four consecutive strikes.
Finger Bullet Drill
* Name: Hessendan, 十指穿弾, literally "Finger Bullet Drill"
* Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
* Users: Kimimaro Kaguya
With this jutsu, Kimimaro can fire his fingertip bones like bullets at an opponet
Flying Swallow
* Name: Hien, 飛燕, literally "Flying Swallow"
* Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Asuma Sarutobi
Using his chakra to extend the blades of his trench knives, Asuma attacks his opponent. The chakra can inflict injury even if the blade does not hit.
Front Lotus
* Name: Omote Renge, 表蓮華, literally "Front Lotus", Viz "Forward Lotus" (a.k.a. "Initial Lotus") "Secondary Lotus" Naruto's style Naruto Renge (Naruto Lotus) English TV: Primary Lotus
* Type: B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Rock Lee, Might Guy
This jutsu requires opening the first chakra gate, giving the user five times their normal stregth. Having prepared for the jutsu by unwrapping the bandages on his arms, Lee kicks his opponent into the air, then performs Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Once he is behind his opponent, he then wraps the arm bandages around them, and grabs them in a bear hug, then piledrives them into the ground while spinning rapidly. The resulting impact is extremely likely to kill most opponents.
Gentle Fist
* Name: Jūken, 柔拳, literally "Gentle Fist" English Gentle Fist
* Type: Unknown, probably: Hiden, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
* Users: Hyuga clan
The Gentle Fist style of combat aims to damage the bodies' chakra circulatory system, thus inhibiting an opponent's use of chakra. To do this, the user will forcefully insert a small amount of their own chakra into an opponent's chakra circulatory system, causing the targeted area to rupture. Alternatively, or as an added bonus, the same method can be used to damage the opponent's internal organs, to which the chakra circulatory system is closely tied. Even the slightest tap from this style can cause major damage, hence the name.
Because the chakra circulartory system is invisible, the Byakugan is required for this style to be used effectively.
Human Juggernaut
* Name: Nikudan Sensha, 肉弾戦車, literally "Human Bullet Tank" Viz "Human Juggernaut" (a.k.a. Meat Tank} English TV "Human Boulder Jutsu"
* Type: C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
* Users: Choji Akimichi
Human Juggernaut is a jutsu passed down in the Akimichi clan. After the user uses Multi-Size Technique to make themselves into a human-sized ball, they tuck their limbs inside their clothes and use chakra to propel themselves into a powerful roll. Because chakra is used as a propellant, and food energy is the source of this chakra, it can only be used so much in a short span of time.
