Some of you guys are confusing skill in martial arts with the ability to open the 8-gates. The 8-gates are a Taijutsu technique, sure. But I thought it was obvious that when Jiraiya said Tsunade's Taijutsu was unparalleled, he was specifically talking about her capability with hand-to-hand combat. That's hardly a fair thing to compare to one's state when they open all 8 gates.
