List of Common Taijutsu

Dynamic Entry: This jutsu simply appears to be a flying jump kick, often performed on the face of an enemy, while dramatically screaming the words "Dynamic Entry". Might Guy is known to throw a weapon, such as a kunai, at the enemy to distract them while he takes advantage of their blind spot. Not much else is known about this technique, other than the fact that it is mainly used for an exaggerated appearance by Guy.

Leaf Gale: This technique is a good example of how even simple taijutsu can become a pre-eminently destructive, lethal technique. The move here is a simple rear spinning low kick, but a strong enough user can send a large adult flying as if they weighed nothing. The goal is to throw the enemy off balance, and deal damage to the lower half of their body.

Leaf Whirlwind: A taijutsu where one launches a succession of high kicks and low kicks. Firstly, the opponent's evasion margin is restrained upon seeing the high kick, thus augmenting the chances for the low kick to hit the mark. So originally the high kick is little more than a feint.

Ninja Art: Moonlight Beauty: Ino jumps into the air where she manipulates countless flower petals to surround and confuse the enemy who she stomps into the ground.

Peregrine Falcon Drop: The user grabs a falling opponent by their ankles, wraps his legs around their waist, and drives them head first into the ground, similar to the Front Lotus.

Arhat Fist: This style of combat focuses on simple physical attacks augmented with Jirōbō's incredible strength. Using simple palm strikes, shoulder thrusts, knee strikes, and punches, Jirōbō can easily defeat an opponent in one or two blows. The strength of his attacks is greatly increased when his cursed seal is active. For example, in his Cursed Seal Level One, he managed to strike back Chōji who was using his Spiked Human Bullet Tank with just one blow.

* Rising Knee (昇膝, Shōshitsu): Jirōbō strikes his opponent with an upward thrust of his knee.
* Thrusting Shoulder (突肩, Tokken): Jirōbō strikes his opponent with his shoulder.
* Crumbling Palm (崩掌, Hōshō): Jirōbō strikes his opponent with a forward palm thrust.
* Upwards Attacking Palm (昇撃掌, Shōgekishō): Jirōbō strikes his opponent with an upwards palm thrust.
* Pressure Palm (圧掌, Asshō): Jirōbō strikes his opponent with an downwards palm thrust.
* Rock Attack (岩撃, Gangeki): Jirōbō punches his opponent.

Cherry Blossom Impact: While some may see it as "Superhuman Strength", this technique is actually an application of medical ninjutsu, that demands the ability to concentrate and minute chakra control. An immense amount of chakra is kneaded inside the body, and a moment later all of it it is gathered into the fist. That chakra is then released into the target, which does a great amount of damage. With the damage done dependent on the amount of chakra used, it is also possible for a skilled shinobi to amass it in their fingertip. When the ground is hit it is pulverized into minute pieces by the excess shock, which are then scattered like flower petals, giving rise to the name "Cherry Blossom Impact".

Derangement Palm: Sakura charges chakra in her fist and palm thrusts the enemy, damaging their central nervous system.

Dynamic Action: Guy quickly punches the opponent after he does a back-flip.

Leaf Great Whirlwind: A series of kicking attacks, starting from a low kick and linking into a middle kick and high kick then finishing off with a heel drop. As the rotation speed picks up the user gains buoyancy, which they use to shift into gradually higher attacks.

Leaf Rising Wind: This jump uses the entire body as a spring by amassing power in the legs before kicking upwards. Because the power of the kick from the ground is instantly converted into a blow, the enemy hit with this attack will be launched high into the sky.

Lightning Bolter: The user punches the opponent twice with their fist. The second launches them high into the air. The user then jumps above them and punches them back down. Then, the user disables the opponent with large shuriken from above, then lands several powerful blows while spinning like a drill, drilling the opponent into the ground.

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. Like Lee, Sasuke gets to the point where he does Shadow of the Dancing Leaf to get behind an airborne opponent. He then delivers a series a of blows that differ between use. All variations end with the opponent being thrown to the ground and kicked in the chest.

Painful Sky Leg: This technique is simply a falling axe kick. Tsunade concentrates all of her incredible strength into her heel and strikes the ground, which results in either a gigantic crater or a deep fracture along the ground, killing any opponents caught in its immediate strike zone.

Shadow Clone Technique: Itachi creates an airborne clone that performs a falling kick on the opponent.

Shock Wave Blossom: Sakura uses her super strength to punch the ground and make it shake, knocking down all the enemies around her.

Spinning Heel Drop: After creating several shadow clones, Naruto and his clones launch themselves into the air and begin to somersault. They then come spinning down, slamming their heels onto the target's shoulders and head.

Uzumaki Naruto Combo Attack: Naruto creates two clones that punch the enemy, then Naruto comes from the left, punching them again, after which a clone kicks the enemy in the air. All three Naruto jump in the air and grab the enemy throwing them into the ground.

Weapon Grab Slam: Tenten grabs the opponents weapon that they are carrying and swings the opponent around by it before slamming them brutally to the ground.

100% Single Punch: Tsunade gathers large amounts of chakra to her hand and releases punches the opponent, causing severe damage.

Assimilated Rock Tank: This jutsu is a copied version of the Akimichi clan's Human Bullet Tank jutsu, the only difference being that the user uses the Assimilate All Creation Technique to fuse with a nearby rock and collect the necessary mass to perform it, instead of creating it themselves. Additionally, using rock powder makes it more damaging, since the resulting human ball is made of a much stronger and heavier material.

Front Lotus: Front Lotus requires the opening of the first of the Eight Chakra Gates, giving the user five times their normal strength. The user launches the opponent into the air and then uses Shadow of the Dancing Leaf. Once behind the opponent, the user restrains them and piledrives them into the ground headfirst while rotating at a ferocious speed. Because it uses one of the chakra gates, the user is left extremely fatigued, making this jutsu a "double-edged sword." However, on episode 193 of the anime, Lee was able to perform this technique without any strain on his body. Kakashi has been shown to be able to use this technique, but to a much lesser degree than Guy and Lee.

Hatake-Style Combo: Sky: Kakashi kicks the enemy in the knee, then disappears and reappears below them and punches them into the sky. He then leaps up and knees them twice in the air sending them flying.

Leaf Burning Sky: Rock Lee runs at his opponent, then kicks him, spin kicks him, punches him multiple times, and punches him into the sky. Once in the air, Lee performs a spinning attack and kicks him into the ground, while screaming 'Leaf Burning Sky. Finally he does a pose by putting his arms up and his legs together.

Leaf Strong Whirlwind: A taijutsu using a combination of speed and power. The essence of this technique is concentrated in a spinning back kick, with such speed that not a single person can follow the user's movement, smashing his enemy with overwhelming strength.

Sakura Knee Stopper: Sakura punches her foe with the Chakra Enhanced Strength, sending them flying in the air for a long distance, then she appears behind them and stops their flight with a kick to the face.

Sakura Rock Breakthrough: Sakura punches the ground using her Cherry Blossom Impact, causing many rocks, and the opponent to fly up in the air. She then jumps on the rocks to reach her opponent in the air and punches through rock in front of the opponent, punching them, and also sending them crashing into two small rock pillars and into a giant stone wall.

Springtime of Youth Full Power: The user releases a flurry of attacks on the opponent, finally kicking the victim into the air. Once airborne, the user will continue his assault before a powerful drop kick back down earth, emitting a light of youthful energy. The technique's name "Springtime of Youth Full Power" comes from the notion that the user's strength is augmented by their youth.

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. It is the exact opposite of Gentle Fist which is used mainly by the Hyūga clan. This style of fighting involves smashing your opponent and is generally used only by extremely physically powerful and dominating shinobi.

Strong Thunder Lotus Chain: Lee disconnects his staff, revealing chains that Lee wraps the enemy in. He then throws them into the air with the chains in a lotus formation while wrapping the chains around his arms. He then dashes in front of the airborne enemy and releases all his rage in a brutal barrage of high-speed punches.

Super Piston Punch Shockwave: Jūgo slams down on the opponent from above and uses a stronger Piston Punch which creates a huge black shockwave.

Triple Dynamic Entry: Lee uses Dynamic Entry on the opponent and then appears behind them to use it again. They are blasted into the air where Lee uses a third Dynamic Entry to knock the enemy to the ground with great force and speed.

Woman's Wrath: Tsunade rapidly punches the opponent, punches them into a huge rock and then runs up to the opponent and delivers one final powerful punch that launches them into the distance.

Yellow Flash Speed Burst: Minato dashes toward his enemy with such high speed that he looks like a blur and hits them as he passes them. Then, he stops behind them and slashes them on the back with a kunai.

Yellow Flash Super Spiral: Minato dashes toward his enemy and kicks them on the knee. He then slides behind them and kicks the same knee again in such a way that they fly into the air.

1000 Meter Punch: Tsunade focuses a large amount of chakra into her fist and punches the opponent, sending them at least one kilometer (1000 meters) away.

Blue Impact: Naruto performs Leaf Whirlwind to disable the enemy then sweep them off their feet using Leaf Gale. After that, he launches the enemy into the sky using Rasengan.

Clone Body Blow: A powerful combination technique invented by Naruto Uzumaki during his battle against Gaara. Using the Shadow Clone Technique, Naruto creates four clones. The five bodies then confuse the enemy using a variety of moves and combinations, and while the enemy is preoccupied with the clones, leaving them open for Naruto to strike the enemy's weak point. By using clones, this technique's offensive power is much higher than a normal body blow. This technique is very showy, looks rather humourous, and makes full use of Naruto's characteristic surprisingness. It is considered to be extremely "Naruto-ish".

Intersection Method: With this jutsu, the user is able to intercept and counter an oncoming taijutsu technique by raising the knee, and driving the elbow downwards at the same time. This catches the attacking limb between his two limbs, and drives the elbow down with great force, effectively shattering the bone. Genshō used this technique to "break" Rock Lee's Leaf Whirlwind by intercepting Lee's attacking leg. Even though Lee's ankle was not broken due to protection from his ankle weight, he was forced to completely halt his training until the injury was healed.

Leaf Great Flash: The user charges at their opponent and unleashes a powerful lateral kick aiming at the head that will spin his opponent away.

Morning Peacock: The Morning Peacock is a certain-kill taijutsu born from the philosophy of Might Guy. The principle of this taijutsu is to rapidly increase the body's abilities by opening up to six of the Eight Gates, and then strike the enemy down with countless punches. The technique is started by kicking the enemy into the air, which for most would be an instant kill. The user then jumps into the air in a distinctive stance and begins punching the enemy repeatedly. The speed of the punches is so fast that they are set ablaze by sheer speed and friction. This creates a peacock-like fan of flaming chakra around the opponent. Once the attack is finished, the enemy will be sent crashing back to the ground, covered with the attack's aura.

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 strikes them at inhuman speed before hitting 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. This is proven when Lee is left barely able to stand after using it on Gaara, and the latter's powerful defenses and long-distance attacks allowed him to win the match. Guy's version involves him launching the enemy into the air, spinning like a drill, and delivering a bone-shattering punch. Might Guy states this technique to be a "combination of such blinding speed that no one can defend themselves against it".

Youth Leaf Barrage: Rock Lee uses the Eight Gates and delivers a barrage of punches and kicks and delivers one final kick to the opponent.

Eight Gates: The Eight Gates are eight specific points on a person's Chakra Pathway 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 body's limits on the functions within it. This makes the body much weaker, but it keeps the body from expiring too soon. By opening these gates, the user can surpass their own physical limits at the cost of extreme damage to their own bodies.

1. The Gate of Opening (開門, Kaimon), located in the brain. Removes the restraints of the brain. Unlocking this gate allows the user to use the Front Lotus.
2. The Gate of Healing (休門, Kyūmon; English TV "The Gate of Rest"), located in the brain. Forcibly increases one's physical strength and temporary re-energizes the body.
3. The Gate of Life (生門, Seimon), located on the spinal cord. Allows the user to use the Reverse Lotus. The increased blood flow turns the skin red.
4. The Gate of Pain (傷門, Shōmon), located on the spinal cord. Increases the user's speed and power. May cause muscles tissue to tear on use.
5. The Gate of Limit (杜門, Tomon; English TV "The Gate of Closing"), per above. Located in the abdomen.
6. The Gate of View (景門, Keimon; English TV "The Gate of Joy"), per above. Located in the stomach. Allows the user to perform the Morning Peacock. Opening of this gate releases such large amounts of chakra that it can cause nearby water bodies to form a vortex around the user.
7. The Gate of Wonder (驚門, Kyōmon; English TV "The Gate of Shock"), per above. Located below the stomach. In the video games, allows the user to perform the Eternal Chaotic Dance.
8. The Gate of Death (死門, Shimon), located at the heart. Releasing this gate uses up all of the body's energy. It makes the heart pump at maximum power and exceeds the power of every other gate.

Eternal Chaotic Dance: After opening seven chakra gates, Lee punches the ground, creating an earthquake that launches his opponent into the air. He then attacks his foe many times at the speed of light, moving so fast that it seems as if there are three Lees attacking at once. To finish, Lee punches the enemy from the sky three times, slamming them back to the ground.

Green Shooting Star: Might Guy opens several chakra gates, jumps high into the sky shaped like a star and crashes down onto the opponent, creating an explosion.

Limitless Speed: Lee opens several chakra gates and dives into the enemy. He carries them through several mountains before focusing his remaining chakra to brutally driving them through a valley wall.

Reverse Buster: Lee flip kicks the enemy into the air and opens several chakra gates. He dashes into the air where he kicks the enemy two times, launching them higher into the air where he strikes kicks them towards the ground. He dashes to the ground before them and punches the falling enemy away in a massive wave of chakra.
