[edit] Questions: specifics & relevance

The term ryuha is used twiced but not explained. And what is meant by body dynamics?

--zeno 03:36 Jan 27, 2003 (UTC)

Taijutsu is also an aikido term, referring to weaponless practise. I believe the word means "body techniques" or something similar. Around here, the term Bujinkan is the one most commonly used about everything stemming from Hatsumi. Is it common in the English-speaking world also? I suggest transferring this article to either Bujinkan, Ninpo or possibly Ninjutsu since this is the term most widely spread. Habj 22:56 Apr 13, 2003 (UTC)

If this is moved, please move it to Jiu jitsu, where it belong. -- looxix 23:17 Apr 13, 2003 (UTC)

You state that as a fact. Please give me a reason? I have never heard the term taijutsu ever used in jujutsu, as all jujutsu I know of is practised mainly without weapons... so there is no need to point the weaponless thing out, specifically. But I know hardly anything about koryu jujutsu schools. Maybe parts should be moved to koryu, parts to Ninpo/X-kan or similar, and a brief definition (weaponless techniques in Japaneses martial arts) kept here. Habj 06:01 Apr 14, 2003 (UTC)

We really should decide what is the topic of this article... currently, it partly deals with taijutsu as more or less a synonym to jujutsu and partly with the X-kan. This list of disciplines is certainly X-kan. Habj 17:22, 4 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I am Japanese and I have never heard the word "taijutsu" used to refer to a specific martial art. Taijutsu is a very general term that means "body technique," and can also mean general athleticism. If you ask a Japanese person that you practice taijutsu, they'll ask "What kind?" I think the term "taijutsu" has been popularized through Naruto, but please understand that it was used only within the context of the manga, and not to be mistaken as a specific martial art. For instance, the Japanese link to this page goes to Jujitsu, which IS a specific martial art. I understand that American Japanese may take on meanings other than the original Japanese, but if the authors want to be accurate the article title needs to be modified so that it is much more specific. My suggestion would be "Bujinkan Taijutsu" since the article seems to center around the ninjutsu aspect.

Good point. If the article is meant to refer to Taijutsu as practiced by the X-kan, it should be qualified. Even Masaaki Hatsumi has said that every job has it's own taijutsu. That's why it's usually been qualified when referred to outside the Bujinkan: "Budo taijutsu" or "Ninpo taijutsu".Stslavik 09:23, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

I practice taiJitsu for 8 years, it's a typical occidental and european Martial arts. It's a self defence martial ats, based on Kion and Katas and everything yuo can find in any martial arts. In Europe there is 2 TaiJitsu. Nihon TaiJitsu and TaiJitsu but they are very close. The club where I practice exist for 25 years and I don't think that the naruto series exists fot 25 years (May be I make a mistake). SO we consider TaiJitsu like a real Martial art and we practice it inthe repect of the budo rules. Take care, TaïBuddy

JUTSU, my friend, with a 'u'. "jitsu" means truth. "jutsu" refers to a technique or style of doing something. 68.149.189.120 (talk) 08:35, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese?

Taijutsu may be written using Chinese characters, but I've never heard this phrase (in its Chinese pronunciation or otherwise) used in the context of Chinese martial arts, only those of Japan. And the bulk of my contributions to Wikipedia have to do with Chinese martial arts so I do know what I'm talking about.

Given that "Taijutsu" is mainly used in the context of Japanese martial arts, and that this article is otherwise entirely about Japanese martial arts, a claim that Taijutsu is Chinese needs to be backed up by cited sources.
