Description
Taijutsu (体術; Literally meaning "Body Techniques") is a basic form of techniques and refers to any techniques involving the martial arts or the optimization of natural human abilities. Taijutsu is executed by directly accessing the user's physical and mental energies, relying on the stamina and strength gained through training. Taijutsu is simply put: hand-to-hand combat.
It's important to know that taijutsu and nintaijutsu are mechanically the same and calculate the same to hit. They are both strength based and always short range and single target attacks.
Eight gates
The 8 Gates is primarily used for those proficient in Taijutsu and is obtained through incredibly hard work. The 8 gates are limiters of the chakra network, preventing the chakra from overflowing. The 8 Gates can be released, as the expense of the users body and endurance.
Gates must be taken in sequential order, i.e. gates 1 and 2 before 3, and 3 before 4. However, the strength and speed boosts for gates 1 + 2 and gates 4 + 5 can be taken in any order, meaning gate 1 can be either speed or strength depending on the user's priorities. Gates abilities should be configured by the user, i.e. Gate 1 could be +8 partial to speed, but must be set up prior to approval and cannot be changed later.
Keep in mind the stat boosting chart to configure your abilities and know how many feats you need for each gate.
Springing youth - 10 CP stat buff in speed, str, or both; costs 10 CP a round
optional feat not required to move on to gate 1 and may be transformed into gate 1 at any point the character wishes to do so.
Gate 1 - Provides a 20 CP stat buff in speed, costs 20 CP a round.
Gate 2 - Provides a 20 CP stat buff in str, costs 20 CP a round.
Gate 3 - Provides a 20 CP stat buff in speed and str, costs 30 CP a round.
Gate 4 - provides a 40 CP stat buff in speed, costs 40 CP a round.
Gate 5 - Provides a 40 CP stat buff in str, costs 40 CP a round.
Gate 6 - Provides a 40 CP stat buff in both speed and str, costs 70 CP a round.
Gate 7 - Provides a 60 CP stat buff in both speed and str, costs 100 CP a round.
Gate 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. Opening this gate gives the user power that is even beyond the five Kage, but comes at the expense of the user's life shortly after. This increases Strength and Speed by 20 for a limited amount of rounds, determined by the user's endurance divided by 5. Note that if this ability is used, the character will die. Characters can be revived at The Hospital.
Fighting Styles

Leaf Whirlwind - A taijutsu where one launches a succession of high kicks and low kicks. The flurry of attacks works as a single nintaijutsu attack.
Leaf Gale - The attack is a simple rear spinning low kick, but a strong enough user can send a large adult flying as if they weighed nothing.
Intermediate (20 CP) Jutsu
Dance of the Leaf - This stance focuses on extremely fast movements to dodge or block incoming attacks from the user's opponent by following the opponents movements closely just like a leaf that dances in the air is followed by its shadow. (+8 partial bonus to dodge 20cp/round)
