He was an expert at taijutsu and at this point is probably one of the best in the world along with Rock Lee The guy who trained Gaara? You mean Gaara's team leader, Baki? The one who killed the proctor and conspired with Kabuto? When did he show any type of Taijutsu skills? His name is Shira, he has a similar backstory to Lee as he wasn't allowed in the academy due to him not being able to use ninjutsu or genjutsu. He continued to train on his own and finally Gaara took notice and allowed him to be in the academy, as well as making him his personal taijutsu trainer.

All this was shown during a flashback to the Chunin exams everyone took while Naruto was away training.
