Taijutsu Guide
NOTE: I know its been a while but here is a follow up of taijutsu for all of you out there that like Naruto to know more about hand to hand combat. There are great material out there people use it, it makes your story better. HAVE FUNNN
Taijutsu
(Body Techniques)
Taijutsu (Body techniques), or more figuratively
hand-to-hand combat) refers to any techniques involving the martial
arts or the optimisation of natural human abilities in general. In
some cases chakra is involved to enhance the techniques, but
generally speaking a Taijutsu user can fare well without much chakra
available compared to a Genjutsu or Ninjutsu user. See also:
real-world Taijutsu, basically a general term for a wide range of
martial arts techniques.
Asa
Kujaku (Morning Peacock)
Name: Asa Kujaku, literally "Morning
Peacock"
Type: Unknown, probably: A-rank, Offensive, Short
range (0-5m)
Users: Maito Gai
Maito Gai first opens the sixth
Celestial Gate (Hachimon Tonkō: Dairoku: Keimon: Kai, "Eight
Gates Release: Number Six: View Gate: Open"), which gives him
access to an enormous amount of chakra. Using this tremendous burst
of power and speed, he will approach his opponent in a distinctive
"crane" stance. When near enough, he will kick his opponent
and launch them into the air. He will then strike them multiple
times, causing the distinctive peacock fan to develop. His opponent
will then fall back to the earth, covered in the strike's aura.

Type: B-rank, Offensive, Mid- to long range
(5+m)
Users: Inuzuka Kiba, Akamaru
Used in combination with
Jinju Konbi Henge: Sotoro (Man Beast Combination Transformation:

Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: Inuzuka Kiba, Akamaru

spin at a ferocious speed and deliver many powerful beastlike attacks
when contact is made with the target. This attack can also be done
alone although it is less effective.
Goken
(Strong Fist)
Name: Goken, literally "Strong Fist"
(a.k.a. "Iron Fist")
Type: Unknown
Users: Rock Lee,
Maito Gai
Gōken is Gai's and Lee's characteristic fighting style,
requiring great strength and speed, as well as mastering the opening
of the eight chakra gates in the body to tap massive amounts of
chakra at the cost of increasingly severe physical damage, and even
death, to oneself.
Hakke
Kusho (Eight Trigrams Empty Palm)
Name: Hakke Kūshō, literally
"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm"
Type: Unknown, probably:
Kekkei genkai, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Hyuuga
Neji
A palm thrust, done while out of arms' reach, pushes away the
victim violently.
Hakke
Rokujuyon Sho (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms)
Name: Hakke
Rokujūyon Shō, literally "Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms"
(a.k.a. "Divination Field: or Divine Sixty-Four Strikes"
and "64 Hands of Hakke".)
Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank,
Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Hyuuga Neji
A very
advanced Gentle Fist Style technique, the user must be able to see
the Chakra holes (tenketsu, "pressure points")) of the
opponent and execute it with incredible dexterity and precision in
order for it to be effective. In a series of two heavy strikes,
followed by two more, followed by four, followed by eight, followed
by sixteen, followed by a dazzling thirty-two consecutive
pinpoint-precision strikes, this jutsu closes 64 of the 361 tenketsu
of the opponent completely. The last of the sixty-four strikes
appears to be a blow with the full, open hand, rather than the
fingertips of the index and middle fingers. The end result is a
victim with disrupted chakra flow, making it very problematic to stay
standing up and impossible to execute jutsu, unless an alternate
chakra source is available, which is exceedingly rare and has only
been demonstrated thus far in people containing a Bijū (Tail Beast).
This jutsu is passed down in the Hyūga main house, but it is
theoretically possible to figure it out on one's own if one is
talented and insightful enough to do so (Hyuuga Neji being the only
known example). In the Anime Neji has developed an enhancement, Hakke
Hyaku Nijūha shō ("Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight
Palms"), which essentially means a doubled attack speed and
doubled capability.
Hakke
Hyaku Nijuhachi Sho (Eight Trigrams One Hundred Twenty-Eight
Palms)
Name: Hakke Hyaku Nijuhachi Sho, Eight Trigrams One Hundred
Twenty-Eight Palms (a.k.a. "Divination Field: or Divine One
Hundred-Twenty Eight Strikes")
Type: Unknown, probably:
Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Hyuuga Neji
Hakke Hyaku Nijūhachi Shō is an advancement of the
Hakke Rokujūyon Shō (Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms). Hakke Hyuka
Nijūhachi Shō is first used by Hyūga Neji to protect himself from
the Amagumo (Rain of Spiders) released from Kidōmaru's Spider
Summoning. Assumably, this technique would strike each of the special
64 Tenketsu (chakra holes) twice when directed at a single, humanoid
opponent, an even more devastating blow than the Sixty-Four Palms.
The attacks in this technique are clearly executed at a much higher
speed than the Sixty-Four Palms, making it even more dangerous. Upon
witnessing this technique Kidōmaru notes that "If I take a
direct hit from that [the One Hundred Twenty-Eight Palms], I'm
finished."
Hakke Hyaku Nijuhachi Sho is a jutsu used only in the Naruto anime, therefore it's generally not seen as canon.
Hakkesho
Kaiten (Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin)
Name: Hakkeshō Kaiten,
literally "Eight Trigram Palms Heavenly Spin" (a.k.a.
"Divine Whirl" or "Divine Spin")
Type: Kekkei
genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hiashi
A very advanced Taijutsu passed down in
the Hyūga main house, it uses a solid amount of chakra expelled from
the whole body- as opposed to imprecise bursts from only specific
parts of the body, which is the most even your typical Jōnin can
manage- to stop any attack in its tracks, then push it back with
equal force, making it a very efficient defense and also making it
possible to use it as an offense. Despite it being a secret jutsu
passed only in the Hyūga main house, Hyūga Neji of the Branch house
mastered it without any training or information of the technique from
the Main house, but rather discovered the technique himself and
trained with his teammate Tenten, a weapons specialist, to perfect
it, which is a sure testimony to his genius.
Hien
(Flying Swallow)
Name: Hien, literally "Flying Swallow"
Type:
B-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Sarutobi Asuma
Jyuuken
(Gentle Fist)
Name: Jyuuken, literally "Gentle Fist"
Type:
Unknown, probably: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive,
Short range (0-5m)
Users: Hyuuga Neji, Hyuuga Hinata, Hyuuga
Hiashi
The inner coil system that transfers chakra around the body
is very close and is essentially a part of all of the human body,
including crucial organs. Members of the Hyūga clan train in a
special fighting style that requires the Byakugan and excellent
chakra control; through the Byakugan they are able to see the
opponent's inner coil system which they forcefully channel their own
chakra into, causing severe damage to organs nearby. The technique
earned its name because even a seemingly gentle, unimpressive hit can
prove lethal.
Kage
Buyo (Shadow of the Dancing Leaf)
Name: Kage Buyo, Literally
"Shadow of the Dancing Leaf", Viz "Shadow of the
Dancing Leaf" (a.k.a. "Shadow Leaf Dance")
Type:
C-rank, Supplementary, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Rock Lee, Uchiha
Sasuke
While the target is airborne, the user jumps in such a way
as to appear below the target while following a similar trajectory
through the air. Since the victim is airborne, he is in a vulnerable
position to a more damaging attack such as Omote Renge or Shishi
Rendan.
Karamatsu
no Mai (Dance of the Larch)
Name: Karamatsu no Mai, 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
When used, razor-sharp bones
quickly grow out all over the user's body. Not only does this
surprise opponents and make it difficult for them to fight in melee
range, but the user's body becomes a deadly weapon.
Konoha
Daisenpu (Leaf Great Whirlwind)
Name: Konoha Daisenpu, literally
"Leaf Great Whirlwind"
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short
range (0-5m)
Users: Rock Lee

powerful version of the Konoha Daisenpu (Leaf Great Whirlwhind).

(a.k.a. "Konoha Gale", "Konoha Strong Wind")
Type:
D-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Rock Lee
Using his
quickness and agility, Lee moves low to the ground and spinning kick
to sweep his opponent off their feet.
Konoha
Senpu (Konoha Hurricane)
Name: Konoha Senpū, literally "Leaf
Whirlwind", Viz "Konoha Hurricane", (a.k.a. "Konoha
Whirlwind")
Type: D-rank, Offensive, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: Rock Lee
This Jutsu is mainly a set-up one, and
consists of kicking the opponent high into the air, thus leaving them
vulnerable to a subsequent more powerful attack (usually Kage Buyō,
Shadow of the Dancing Leaf).
Konoha
Shofu (Leaf Rising Wind)
Name: Konoha Shōfū, literally "Leaf
Rising Wind"
Type: Unknown, probably: B-rank, Offensive,
Short range (0-5m)
Users: Rock Lee
Nikudan
Hari Sensha (Spiked Human Bullet Tank)
Name: Nikudan Hari Sensha,
literally "Spiked Human Bullet Tank" (a.k.a. "Spiked
Meat Tank")
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range
(0-10m)
Users: Akimichi Chōji
Basically the same as the
Nikudan Sensha, but before beginning the roll, Chōji wraps himself
in kunai tied to strings.
Nikudan
Sensha (Human Juggernaut)
Name: Nikudan Sensha, literally "Human
Bullet Tank" Viz "Human Juggernaut" (a.k.a. Meat
Tank)
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short to mid-range (0-10m)
Users:
Akimichi Chouji
Human Juggernaut is a jutsu passed down in the
Akimichi clan. The Baika no Jutsu (Art of Expansion) is typically
performed beforehand. This jutsu sends the user into a powerful roll,
turning them into a ball of destruction—but uses a high amount of
food energy.
Omote
Renge (Front Lotus)
Name: Omote Renge, literally "Front
Lotus", Viz "Forward Lotus" (a.k.a. "Primary
Lotus" or "Initial Lotus")
Type: B-rank, Offensive,
Short range (0-5m)
Users: Rock Lee
This technique puts a lot of
strain on the user's muscle fibers, and is basically a suicidal
attack. Normally, humans use the power of their muscles at only about
20 percent of its full power; the brain regulates muscle usage to
ensure this, since any higher and the muscles will be damaged or
destroyed. The Omote Renge requires the opening of one of the inner
celestial gates- the Initial Gate, which releases the brain's
regulation on muscle usage. The result is a much more powerful brand
of Taijutsu than normal, but at the cost of damage to the user.
Rakanken
(Achiever of Nirvana Fist)
Name: Rakanken, literally "Achiever
of Nirvana Fist"
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: Jiroubou
Sennen Goroshi (One Thousand Years of Death)
Name: Konohagakure
Hiden: Taijutsu no Ōgi: Sennen Goroshi, literally "Hidden Leaf
Secret: Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Death"
(a.k.a. "Sennen Gurushi, Thousand Years of Pain" or "Hidden
Leaf Ancient Taijutsu Supreme Technique: A Thousand Years of Death";
English TV "Leaf Village's Sacred Finger Jutsu: The Thousand
Years of Death")
Type: E-rank, Offensive, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: Hatake Kakashi, Uzumaki Naruto
A very simple
Taijutsu technique with a very over-dramatised name. Forcefully
plunges the user's fingers into the vicinity of the victim's rectal
regions. Sakura dubbed it the "Super Powerful Ass-Poke".
However, Naruto figured out the true meaning of the Taijutsu: it was
mainly used with a pointed object (usually a kunai), in order to
attack the blindspot of the enemy. When combined with explosive
seals, it can even damage Gaara in his semi transformed mode.
The Naruto manga lists the technique as Sennen Goroshi, as does the manual for Naruto: Gekitou Ninja Taisen 2 (and ostensibly the first, as well), a Gamecube title which saw release only in Japan. This wording means "The Kill of a Thousand Years" instead of "1,000 Years of Pain". It could be construed that the original fansubbers, when translating the fourth episode of Naruto (the first appearance of the jutsu) heard the name as "Sennen Gurushi", which does mean something along the lines of "1,000 Years of Pain". Both names are provided for reference. see also: Kancho
Shishi
Rendan (Lion Combo)
Name: Shishi Rendan, literally "Lion
Combo" Official website "Barrage of Lions"
Type:
C-rank, Offensive, Close range (0-5m)
Users: Uchiha Sasuke
The
result of Uchiha Sasuke copying Rock Lee's similar combo. While not
able to completely emulate Rock Lee's agility and power, the
Sharingan allowed him to gain the ability to push himself to achieve
a similar effect, and the result was a copied Kage Buyo followed by a
series of kicks to the falling target. It isn't devastating as Lee's
Lotus techniques, but also isn't nearly as dangerous to perform, and
is quite effective against most targets.
Shugohakke
Rokujuyon Sho (Protection of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four
Palms)
Name: Shugohakke Rokujuyon Sho, literally "Protection
of the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms"
Type: Unknown,
probably: kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range
(0-5m)
Users: Hyuuga Hinata
An Anime invention which does not
appear in the manga, Hinata has developed and honed this unique
variation on the traditional "Hakke" jutsu by training with
bodies of water and testing it against the attacks of her teammates.
The user can emit constant beams of chakra from their hands or shoot
short streams, and hit even a large amount of very small targets with
extremely high speed and precision, akin to Hakke Rokujūyon Shō
(but obviously with longer range). With enough skill at destroying
incoming threats, or alternatively sufficient power, speed and
flexibility put into a large amount of arc-shaped beams, it is also
possible to create an "absolute defense" effect similar to
that of Hakkeshō Kaiten. Many fans have dubbed it simply the "chakra
laser" (as the beams can apparently cut through iron - while
training her technique, Hinata uses them to tear apart kunais).
Suiken
(Drunken Fist)
Name: Suiken, literally "Drunken Fist"
Type:
C-rank, Offensive, Defensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Rock
Lee
The Drunken Fist (Suiken) is an unusual style of taijutsu
combat where the user takes in enough alcohol to become intoxicated
(hence the name), causing them to become unpredictable and highly
dangerous. Suiken is not a fighting style that one can learn or train
in, nor is it a bloodline limit, but more of a natural talent that
one is born with.
Tarenken
(Multiple Connecting Punches)
Name: Tarenken, literally "Multiple
Connecting Punches"
Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive,
Short range (0-5m)
Users: Sakon, Ukon

(Multiple Connecting Kicks)
Name: Tarenkyaku, literally "Multiple
Connecting Kicks"
Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive,
Short range (0-5m)
Users: Sakon, Ukon
An attack that utilizes
the special ability of Sakon and Ukon by fusing both the right and
left legs of Ukon to either one of Sakon's legs, protruding from the
knees.
Teshi
Sendan (Finger Bullet Drill)
Name: Teshi Sendan, literally "Finger
Bullet Drill"
Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short
to mid-range (0-10m)
Users: Kimimaro
This is a bloodline limit
allowing members of the Kaguya clan to shoot bullets made of bone out
of the tips of their fingers at great speeds.
Tessenka
no Mai: Hana (Dance of the Clematis: Flower)
Name: Tessenka no
Mai: Hana, literally "Dance of the Clematis: Flower"
Type:
Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Kimimaro
A follow-up to the Tessenka no Mai: Tsuru, Kimimaro's
entire forearm is encased in a giant spearhead made of bone to attack
the trapped victim.
Tessenka
no Mai: Tsuru (Dance of the Clematis: Vine)
Name: Tessenka no Mai:
Tsuru, literally "Dance of the Clematis: Vine"
Type:
Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Kimimaro
Kimimaro pulls out his own spine to use as a weapon. For
this attack, the length of bone becomes a spiked whip-chain weapon,
which wraps around the target and holds them in place.
Tsubaki
no Mai (Dance of the Camellia)
Name: Tsubaki no Mai, literally
"Dance of the Camellia"
Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank,
Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users: Kimimaro
Performed when a
member of the Kaguya clan pulls out a bone from his arm and uses it
as a sword. The quick movements of the blade and slicing technique
make this a formidable dance. It can make short work of an large
number of people quickly.
Tsutenkyaku
(Painful Sky Leg)
Name: Tsūtenkyaku, literally "Painful Sky
Leg"
Type: C-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Tsunade
This is basically just a kick down from the air, where
Tsunade uses her marvellous strength to create a crater.
Ura
Renge (Reverse Lotus)
Name: Ura Renge, , literally "Reverse
Lotus" (a.k.a. "Extreme Lotus" or "Secondary
Lotus")
Type: A-rank, Offensive, Short range (0-5m)
Users:
Rock Lee
This advanced, more destructive version of the Renge
requires the opening of at least the Third Gate (Life Gate), with a
correspondingly higher cost to the user. Once the third gate is open,
the user can then use Ura Renge by launching the target into the air
and hiting them with one arm and foot, sending the target crashing
into the ground, typically killing them. When Rock Lee used this
move, he also opened the Fourth and Fifth Gates to grant him extra
strength and speed, however, this is not required to perform Ura
Renge.
Yanagi
no Mai (Dance of the Willow)
Name: Yanagi no Mai, literally "Dance
of the Willow"
Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Short
range (0-5m)
Users: Kimimaro
To perform this dance the Kaguya
clan member has long bones come out from the palms of his hands to be
used as stabbing swords. The blades are fairly long and are very
strong. The clan can use both of these bone hand blades to stab,
slice or impale their opponent. With quick movements and jabs this is
a formidable dance.
