Wrong Taijutsu still requires the use of chakra to fight case in point when team Guy was fighting the mirrored versions of themselves they were making points about how there chakra was low Taijutsu doesn't use chakra externally but it does use it internally to influence the muscles more over chakra is a combination of two separate energies(physical and spiritual) you train them by either exercising or meditating. with out chakra you can not even move your body. normal simple taijutsu like a dodge or something like that do not active chakra molding but non the less something like a jump spinning heel kick would require the molding of chakra more over The general term for the source of chakra, the overall physical and spiritual energy an individual has, is called "total stamina" so when the data book states that Guy has a stamina level of 5 and Rock Lee has a 3.5 in stamina that means they both have a good amount of chakra. when sasuke and Rock lee were fighting before the chunin exams sasuke noted on how powerful Rock Lee's chakra was

Taijutsu itself does not require chakra. Taijutsu is just hitting someone, plain and simple. One can use chakra to enhance taijutsu, as evidenced by Lee, Guy, Tsunade, Sakura, and Sasuke. But, it isn't required. That is why, back in part one, Sasuke was able to beat Yoroi, who could steal chakra, with the Lion Combo, as it didn't require chakra. It is also why an exhausted, tapped out Naruto was only able to punch Gaara to end their fight. This principle is also why Lee and Guy are so devastating, because they selectively use chakra for key moves instead of for everything; here contrast Lee and Sakura.

you clearly do not know how to read. the manga clearly states that even taijutsu users expend chakra. if a taijutsu user fights for say an hour after an hour they will be exhausted both physically and with chakra. like i said chakra is not used externally and as such when fighting a person who absorbs chakra the person can not weaken there taijutsu by absorbing chakra but they can still weaken them in general. if a person has no chakra they can not use taijutsu. punching a person is simply punching a person. but when using high level taijutsu like Guy and Rock lee you do indeed use chakra thats a fact. for instance when fighting Naruto Neji closed all of Naruto's Tenketsu. Naruto tried to fight with them closed but Neji told him it was futile because with out chakra Naruto had no strength chakra is required to do everything including basic movements with out chakra a shinobi can barely move only high level shinobi who have enormous strength can still move like when Kisame broke out if his restraints with only physical prowess, everyone remarked how strong he was with no chakra left. meaning only the most powerful of shinobi can do such stuff with out chakra. chakra is made up of two energies Physical and spiritual with out chakra you literally do not have enough physical energy to do anything. but like keep saying they still require chakra to do taijutsu hence the reason if a shinobi were to specialize in taijutsu and were to fight for 3 days after 3 days they would have no chakra left That is a fact thats why they eat food rations(to give them self extra chakra) when fighting Rock Lee sasuke noted how strong the chakra in lee's arm was and thats because Lee trains really really really really hard.
