In the Encyclopedia Ninja, there are many styles listed under Taijutsu. However, they would only tell you on how the Taijutsu stance came about. Take the Mantis Stance. The offensive and defensive moves were taken from the way a praying mantis attacked and defended itself. The inspiration behind it was when a man saw a Praying Mantis defend itself from a Cicada.
However, if one were to look for the history of how Taijutsu came about, he or she would have to look long and hard hours in the oldest of texts and even then, you may not find the answer. Most scholars believe that there was no one true creator for Taijutsu. Many people developed their own stances, each using certain tactics from strong or clever animals, like the tiger or crane.
However, there are some rare Taijutsu stances that were made with no outside influence from animals. Take the Jyuuken, used by the Hyuuga clan of Konoha. With their bloodline ability, they used their hands to deliver chakra into their opponent's Tenketsu points, each different point causing certain effects. What may look like a glancing blow can actually be death hiding under a white veil. That is the reason why the Hyuuga clan is so prestigious in Konoha.
The most commonly used form of Taijutsu is Tekken. Though it runs on simple ideals, it still gets the job done. It is very basic, and very effective. Some people may add a few of their own twists to it to get the upper hand against their opponents.
However, if one would like to both defeat and humiliate his or her opponent, then there is a really easy move to use. In fact, you do not even have to learn any specific stance. All you must do is first put your hands together like a clap, then clench your middle, ring and pinky finger for both hands, making the hand seal for tiger. Or you may replace the fingers with a kunai. Whatever you choose, do so and then shove it up someone's ass with much force. The result? Konoha's Ancient Taijutsu: 1000 Years Of Pain. Painful. Or you can just get drunk and use Tekken.
Whatever you choose, it was time for Encyclopedia Ninja to be updated.

(These clothes come with your new Taijutsu stance: Holy Fox Style. It's called that because the attacks, though powerful, are not very deadly. However, if you add enough power into your attacks, you can kill someone if your not careful. Take a look at yourself in the stream over there and take note of the changes.)
Naruto took a look at himself. The clothes he wore was no longer his normal attire, but was something else. He had on a white unzipped jacket with a few black lines streaking across here and there. Underneath the jacket was a black long sleeve shirt. It had a black cross thinly outlined in white. He had black gloves that left his fingers uncovered and the back of his hand was also open. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans with a wallet chain coming out of his right pocket. The bottom cuffs of his pants were a little torn. He no longer wore sandals, but had white shoes with black laces on.
But that was not all. Naruto took a look at his hair. It was still messy and still required the help of his forehead protector to keep it from falling into his face, but it was no longer blonde. It was a chestnut brown. The clothing he wore definitely gave him the appearance of a tough opponent. But it also gave the surreal feeling that he was some holy being, despite the fact that he was short.
He took off his jacket and got a look at it. The front did not have any kind of design except for the black lines. However, when he turned it around, there were some black kanji written on it. It read 'God of the Foxes.' Naruto tossed the jacket back on.
'This change of clothing and hair isn't permanent, right?'
(No, you will only have this style of clothing and hair when you summon my chakra and use this kind of Taijutsu. When you stop using my chakra, the clothing and hair goes away and leaves you with your original look. But remember, if you want to look like this, you need to think of those that you care for when I give you my chakra.)
'Okay. But what's the difference between this and any other regular Taijutsu?'
