Does anyone know the fighting style Naruto is using in the opening part of episode 209? It seems really cool and i would like to look into it!

So eventually Naruto actually learns a style of Tai Jutsu and gets some semblance of strategy? So far his fights haven't been too impressive just the same old stuff all the time. I've been more interested in the other characters matches. Lee, Hinata, Neji, Kiba, and Shikimaru for instance.

I'm not sure if Tai Jutsu is an actual martial-art (probabally not) but is is what they call physical fighting skills in Naruto. There's three basic types of catagories to a ninja's repetoir of skills in the series TaiJutsu (physical attacks), GenJutsu (mental attacks or creation of illisions), and NinJutsu (Any other technique that uses the body's chakra). There are also specific abillities called Kekkei Genkai which are genetically inherited through one's clan like the Huyga's Byakugan.

Well Kruszer I think he wants to know what actual style they used for his movements in the opening video there, like what was their basis for it.

I really can't tell. It's a softer style than most Japanese fighting arts (open hands, sweeping movements), it definitely looks like a form of kung-fu. Not sure which though.

Tai Jutsu is an actual term for a ninja's physical combat

Yeah, but Naruto does apply the term very loosely. For example, Lee's fighting style is definitely kung fu, not traditional real-world taijutsu, and yet it's called taijutsu on the show. Within Naruto, taijutsu is ANY form of physical, non-chakra-based combat skills. Outside of Naruto it's a specific fighting style used by ninja (or at least by those preporting to be ninja), that has heavy influence from Jujitsu.

Though I am far from having any real interest in Naruto, this topic made me curious enough to hunt down a copy of ep209 online, and check it out.
I assume you're talking about the silhouetted combat practice seen in the OP sequence? It looks to me like a mish-mash of several styles. I saw Shotokan Karate moves, Muay Thai-style kicks, and some of the "acrobatic" styles you only see on movies or in California. (*cough*) But what interested me to see was that there were also elements of Kung Fu (my own style, in fact) in there, specifically a rudimentary version of the technique known as chi sau (or "sticky hands"). All in all, I would say that if you're going to study a martial art that resembles what you saw there, you're probably looking for Wing Chun or Wing Tsun Kung Fu, both of which (they are related) make use of many of the elements seen here. Chi sau, by the way, is an elegant and useful technique that isn't really a combat technique, but rather a control technique. It allows the practitioner to gain control of a grappling situation, either to prevent his opponent from grappling him, or from evading him (many of the offensive moves in these kung fu styles are up-close-and-personal, where other martial arts tend to fail). It is fairly easy to learn. Because it is essentially non-violent, and very useful versus bullies who try to catch hold of you, I have taught it to all my children, and I can assure you that a 2-year-old is capable of quite advanced chi sau -- it makes a fun game, too, the "pushy-hand-game".
All my children are capable of breaking grappling holds, and they know what to do next -- run away. The basic principle of combat is that you don't fight unless you absolutely have to, and I have made sure they are completely aware of this. My oldest is now so far along that grappling him is very hard to do, even when we practice together, which is a source of great satisfaction to me. Anyway, bottom line: you're looking for Wing Chun or Wing Tsun Kung Fu. - abunai |

Yes, I was aware of that but the only one I know and practice is Tang Su Do (the parent form of Tai Quan Do), which it didn't look like. |

Hey, just saying, it didn't seem as though you were answering his question, so I just tried to help. That's what Luffy does |

Well I tried to help by mentioning Tai Jutsu and figured I better clarify that it was just a general term to refer to physical fighting skills and that I wasn't sure if it was an actual martial art so as not to misinform. |
