List of Taijutsu

This is a list of taijutsu in Naruto.

A
Achiever of Nirvana Fist Jirobo's signature style of combat, Achiever of Nirvana Fist focuses on simple physical attacks augmented with Jirobo's incredible strength. Using simple palm strikes, shoulder thrusts, knee strikes, and punches, Jirobo can easily defeat an opponent in one or two blows.
 * Type: C-rank, Offensive
 * Users: Jirobo

B
Butterfly Bullet 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, releasing the chakra on contact. In a manner similar to how Tsunade and Sakura Haruno enhance their strength, channeling so much chakra into one hand and releasing it on contact increases the ninja's strength a hundredfold. The subsequent impact not only produces a sizable crater, but will also likely kill the one on the receiving end.
 * Type: B-rank, Offensive
 * Users: Akimichi clan

C
Clone Body Blow Naruto creates numerous shadow clones to attack his enemy, which ends with Naruto diving at the target using a burst of chakra. This technique was first used with no name against Gaara when Naruto fought him during the Konoha invasion. Its name was later given in the Second Databook.
 * Type: A-rank, Offensive
 * Users: Uzumaki Naruto

D
Dance of the Camellia Kimimaro performs this jutsu by modifying the humerus (upper arm bone) of either his right or left arm to create a short, hiltless bone sword. Since he can increase and compress the density of his bones, he can make the sword harder than steel. He then uses the sword to fight; his style uses quick cuts and thrusts to disable opponents quickly. With Kimimaro's formidable taijutsu skills, he can easily defeat a large number of people very quickly (as evidenced when he disposed of hundreds of Naruto's shadow clones without breaking a sweat). This dance also appears to be the most basic of the techniques related to his kekkei genkai, as it was unable to overcome an intoxicated Rock Lee, while his other techniques were easily capable of this feat.
 * Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive
 * Users: Kimimaro Kaguya

Dance of the Clematis: Flower This is a follow-up to the Dance of the Clematis: Vine. Kimimaro's entire forearm is encased in a giant drill made of bone to attack the trapped victim. The bone is strengthened (through compression and its plaited spiral shape) to become the hardest type of bone the body can produce. The bone resembles a flower, hence the name.
 * Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive
 * Users: Kimimaro Kaguya

Dance of the Clematis: Vine Using his kekkei genkai, Kimimaro can modify and pull out his own spinal column to use as a flexible chainstaff, regrowing a new spine to replace the removed one. The protrusions on the vertebra are modified to make them stronger and sharper.
 * Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive,
 * Users: Kimimaro Kaguya

Dance of the Larch Kimimaro uses this jutsu to create a mass of razor-sharp bone spikes all over his body. These spines appear to be branches off his preexisting skeletal structure rather than complete new bones. Kimimaro is even able to grow these bones at an extremely rapid rate so they can stab an opponent even as they are growing. He can even use them to block or trap an opponent's strikes. In addition to being an unwelcome surprise for opponents, it makes him basically untouchable at close range.
 * Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive, Defensive,
 * Users: Kimimaro Kaguya

Dance of the Willow To perform this dance, Kimimaro grows several long bone blades out of his body for use as weapons. Though he primarily uses two blades grown from the palms of his hands, he also uses several secondary bones grown from his elbows, knees, and shoulders. This dance form is incredibly acrobatic, using spins, charges, and long sweeping slashes to make the strikes more effective and to evade opponents' counterstrikes. Kimimaro can also extend his bones to attack his opponents without having to adjust his own movement, a principle also used in his Dance of the Larch.
 * Type: Kekkei genkai, No rank, Offensive,
 * Users: Kimimaro Kaguya

Double Piercing Fang The user and his partner spin at a ferocious speed and deliver many powerful beastlike attacks when contact is made with the target. The force of this attack is strong enough to drill through stone. This attack can be done alone but it is less effective.
 * Type: C-rank, Offensive
 * Users: Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru together

Double Wolf Fang After Akamaru uses Dynamic Marking to mark a target, both he and Kiba use Man Beast Combination Transformation: Double-Headed Wolf to become a large, two-headed wolf. The two then perform a much more powerful Double Piercing Fang attack. Like this lesser wersion, they spin rapidly to attack their target. However, 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. Even if they miss, the speed is so great that the air around them can actually cut their opponents.
 * Type: B-rank, Offensive
 * Users: Inzuka Kiba and Akamaru together

Drunken Fist This unusual style of combat can't be learned or taught. It only occurs naturally, and requires the user to be drunk. Decent skill in some form of combat may also be helpful. Once the former condition is met, the user becomes an upredictable fighter seemingly unable to discern friend from foe. Lee is particularly talented in this form of combat. The unpredictability combined with Lee's formidable taijutsu skills makes him a force to be reckoned with, hence his sensei's concern whenever he learns that Lee may be exposed to alcohol.
 * Type: B-rank, Offensive and defensive
 * Users: Rock Lee

Dynamic Entry This jutsu is simply a flying jump kick at an enemy.
 * Type: D-rank, Offensive
 * Users: Might Guy, Rock Lee

Dynamic Marking This jutsu involves Akamaru urinating on a target, allowing both him and Kiba to track it by scent. THis is a preequisite for using Double Wolf Fang, since the speed of the technique makes it impossible for the user to see while using it.
 * Type: No rank, supplementary
 * Users: Akamaru

E
Eight Gates The eight chakra gates are eight specific points on a person's chakra circulatory system. They limit the overall flow of chakra within a person's body. The basis for the idea of the chakra gates comes from the gody's limits on the functions within it. This makes the body much weaker, but it keeps the body from expiring too soon. By opening thes gates, the user can surpass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their own bodies. The gates and what they releas are listed below:
 * Type: Unknown
 * Users: Might Guy, Rock Lee, Hatake Kakashi
 * 1) Opening (Initial) Releases the brain's ability to limit the strain on the muscles, giving the user five times their normal strength.
 * 2) Rest (Heal)Releases the brain's limit on the body's stamina, making a battle-worn person become miraculously ready to fight as if the fight had just started.
 * 3) Life is located on the spinal cord, and releases the limit on the nervous system, which makes information travel at a faster rate and creates even more stamina. As a side effect, the user's skin turns red, indicating an increased blood-oxygen level.
 * 4) Pain(Harm) releases the limit on oxygen intake in the lungs, creating much more oxygen for the body to use.
 * 5) Closing (Limit) releases the limit on the amount of chakra released at one time
 * 6) Joy (View) removes the limit on how much fat and proteins the intestines can digest, and releases otherwise useless engery resources, giving the user even more power and stamina.
 * 7) Shock (Wonder/Insanity) removes the limit on how fast the body can move, removes wastes from dead skin cells to feces, and gives the body a much cleaner system to work with, producing even more power and stamina.
 * 8) Death opens the final gate located at the heart and uses up all of the body's energy. It makes the heart pump at maximum power and exceeds the power of every other gate. All the energy in every individual cell is used up, giving the user power well abouve that of any Kage. This 'big bang' effect is only temporary, and destroys every muscle in the user's body. Death is assured when opening this gate.

Eight Trigrams Empty Palm This jutsu is similar in practice to Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin, but has a specific target reather than a general area. To perform it, the user does a palm thrust at an oppnent while espeling a large burst of chakra from their palm. This violently pushes the opponent away. The opponent does not neeed to be within reach of the user for the attack to be effective.
 * Type: Unknown
 * Users: Hyuga Neji

Eight Trigrams Palms Heavenly Spin This jutsu utilizes the chakra control gained throuch Gentle Fist training to release a huge amount of chakra from the user's chakra points when struck. The released chakra blocks any possilbe attack. The user then spins themselves rapidly to parry the attack, both creating a shield of chakra around themselves and tossing away any would-be attackers.
 * Type: Hiden, no rank
 * Users: Hyuga clan

Eight Trigrams Palms Great Heavenly Spin This jutsu is simply a larger and more powerful version of the Eight Trigram Plams Heavenly Spin.
 * Type: Unknown
 * Users: Hyuga clan

Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms This jutsu closes off sixty-four specific chakra points on an opponents's body, effectively eliminating teir ability to use chakra for quite some time and making it quite difficult for them to move. It begins with two heavy strikes, followed by four more, then eight, then sixteen, then thirty-two, and finally sixty-four strikes.
 * Type: Hidden, no rank, offensive
 * Users: Hyuga clan

F
Front Lotus This jutsu requires opening the first chakra gate, giving the user five times their normal strength. Having prepared for the jutsu by unwrapping the bandages on his or her arms, the user kicks his opponent into the air, and 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 will likely kill his opponent, though this has yet to happen due to extenuating circumstances. Because it uses one of the chakra gates, the user is left extremely fatigued, makind this jutsu a 'double-edged sword'.
 * Type: B-rank, offensive
 * Users: Might Guy, Rock Lee

G
Gentle Fist The Gentle Fist style of combat aims to damage the body's 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 or divert flow. 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 circulatory system is invisible, the Byakugan is required for this style to be used effectively.
 * Type: Unknown
 * Users: Hyuga clan

H
Human Bullet Tank Human Bullet Tank 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.
 * Type: C-rank, offensive
 * Users: The Akimichi clan

L
Leaf Gale A spinning kick that sweeps your opponent off their feet.
 * Type: D-rank, offensive
 * Users: Rock Lee

Leaf Great Whirlwind This jutsu involves a powerful leap forward followed by a spinning kick with both legs in succession, the second kick being aimed lower in case the intended target ducks the first.
 * Type: Unknown
 * Users: Rock Lee, Might Guy

Leaf Rising Wind Using quickness and agility, the user will do a swift upwards kick at their opponent or at a weapon the opponent is wielding.
 * Type: Unknown
 * Users: Rock Lee, Uchiha Sasuke

Leaf Strong Whirlwind This jutsu is a set-up attack for a stronger jutsu. It consists of a simple, but very fast, duck followed by a powerful upward kick, which sends the opponent flying. When Guy uses this attack, he covers his foot in chakra to enhance it, making his version C-ranked.
 * Type: D-rank, offensive
 * Users: Rock Lee, Might Guy

Lion Combo This jutsu is a variant of Rock Lee's Front Lotus, which Sasuke develops after using his Sharingan to copy the first part of the move. Because Lee wasn't given the chance to finish the attack, Sasuke makes his own ending to it.
 * Type: C-rank, offensive
 * Users: Uchiha Sasuke

Like Lee, Sauske gets to the point where he does Shadow of the Dancing Leaf to get behind an airborne opponent. Afterwards, his is different. He starts with a kick to hte left side of his opponent (the easiest part to block). From there he does a backhand strike to the face, one straight punch to the gut to send the opponent towards the ground and finishes with a spinning kick that lands his left heel on the center of the opponent just as they both hit the ground. Sasuke tends to use different moves each time he does this technique. because Sasuke doesn't know how to open his chakra gates, this technique puts much more strain on him than it does on Lee. Additionally, his finish is nowhere near as devastating, though still quite effective, giving his version a lower rank.

P
Piercing Fang The user spins at a ferocious speed and delivers many powerful beastlike attacks when contact is made with the target. This attack can be done with a partner, making it more effective.
 * Type: D-rank, offensive
 * Users: Inuzuka Kiba and Akamaru

R
Reverse Lotus This jutsu is an advanced and more destructive version of the Front Lotus, which requires that at least three chakra gates be opened (in every instance in which it has been used, five gates are opened). Once enough gates are open, the user launches the target into the air and hits them with one arm and one foot, sending the target crashing into the ground. This is usually fatal due to the speed and power behind the attack. Because so many chakra gates are opened at once, it can only be used once, since the user will likely be unable to stand afterward. Guy's version involves him launching the enemy into the air, spinning like a drill, and delivering a bone-shattering punch.
 * Type: A-rank, Offensive
 * Users: Rock Lee, Might Guy

S
Shadow of the Dancing Leaf 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.
 * Type: C-rank, Supplementary,
 * Users: Might Guy, Rock Lee, Uchiha Sasuke

Using his Sharingan, Sasuke was able to copy this move when Rock Lee used it on him. Unlike Lee, however, he hasn't had sufficient training to avoid the body strain from using the technique.

Silent Homicide Technique As the name suggests, this technique is simply a very quiet method of killing an opponent, usually from behind with a blade. Additionally, because the user is very silent, it cannot be defended against. The user will often slit their opponent's throat, preventing any cry that might give them away. Zabuza was a master of this technique, and was even good enough to track and kill opponents through sound alone.
 * Type: Unknown
 * Users: Momochi Zabuza

Spiked Human Bullet Tank This jutsu is basically the same as the Human Bullet Tank, but Choji wraps himself in kunai tied to strings to make it more damaging. The kunai also make him move faster since Choji has more traction than in his normal ball form. After the timeskip, Choji can do this without using kunai by growing and hardening his hair in a manner similar to Jiraiya's Needle Guardian jutsu.
 * Type: C-rank, Offensive,
 * Users: Akimichi Choji

Strong Fist Strong Fist is Guy's and Lee's characteristic fighting style, the purpose of which is to cause external damage and break bones. Additionally, they have learned to open the eight chakra gates, allowing them to briefly increase their physical limits in exchange for severe physical damage after the effects have worn off. In fact, the eighth gate is assured to cause death if opened, while the other seven merely cause exponential degrees of physical damage.
 * Type: Unknown
 * Users: Might Guy, Rock Lee, Uchiha Sasuke(limited)

Sasuke does not actually use this style, but rather a few specific elements that he copied from Rock Lee using his Sharingan.
