Taijutsu

Background
Taijutsu is one of the 18 disciplines or skills in Ninjutsu. Taijutsu is focused on (Body Techniques) due to it being a skill/discipline of unarmed combat.

Training
Taijutsu is generally trained prior to other disciplines in order to prepare someone without weapons. Notably it's used as a secondary skill while Ninja's use an aresenal of weapons. Training generally requires semi to full contact with a partner, dummy, or sensei. While dummies are used for static training; partners and sensei's are generally used for movement and technique training. Taijutsu varies due to it being influnced by other martial arts and teachers.

Limitations
Taijutsu is generally very limited against armed opponents with some exceptions. While it's limited against weapons some individuals can block katana's with their palms or in-between their fingers. This is generally a skill that takes lots of practice and time to master, and is considered to be one of the toughest skills inside Taijutsu to master.
