Can Gai use Nin- or Gen-jutsu?

[Gods_Son]

Gai's ninjutsu and genjutsu are probably just at a much lower level than his taijutsu, that's why he only teaches and uses taijutsu for the most part.

You should stick to what your good at IMO, if Gai isnt good at the other two fighting styles in Ninjaism, then he should stick with taijutsu

Who says Gai's not good at nin- and genjutsu? I'll bet he's just awesome with all three methods! I mean, this is GAI after all. He's simply great!

Sorry if I'm being annoying by bringing up an old(ish), dead (nearly, perhaps) thread. I just felt that needed to be stated.

Is Rock Lee incapable of using Nin and Gens? I thought he was just really really bad at it. I was thinking that he and Gai were similar in that they were both flunk outs for the same thing. But if Gai can use Gen and Ninjutsus will there be hope for rock lee?

A quick look at the official naruto character data book answers the question in that Gai is proficient in both nin and genjutsu as well as tai. Assigning arbitrary numbers based from the graphical image his tai is maxed out at 5 and his nin and gen are both at 3, which is mediocre for a jounin but excellent for say a genin.

Lee on the otherhand has 0 ratings for both nin and gen, but a 4 rating for tai.

Lee can mold and control chakra, he just can't mold and control it outside of his body.
Gai must be able to mold and control it outside of his body if he can walk on water.
