The Shinobi World

Taijutsu is the art of hand-to-hand combat that relies purely on physical strength, speed, reflexes, and martial skill, with little to no use of chakra beyond basic body enhancement. It includes punches, kicks, grapples, and advanced movement techniques, allowing a shinobi to fight effectively without relying on hand signs or elemental affinity. While simpler in form than ninjutsu or genjutsu, taijutsu demands rigorous training, discipline, and exceptional stamina. Elite practitioners can enhance their physical abilities using chakra to perform feats like breaking stone, moving at blinding speeds, or enduring heavy damage, making taijutsu a devastating style in close combat.
