According to the [wiki](http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Might_Guy), Gai is able
to use ninjutsu and genjutsu, so why doesn't he use it?

Why doesn't Gai use ninjutsu or genjutsu more often?


I'd say because they aren't his strengths - clearly **Taijutsu** is so why
should he use something that he isn't great at?

It could also be that he has used them in the past and it, unfortunately, got
him into some difficulty so he had to fall back on the tried and tested
techniques of his **Taijutsu** :)

Gai is based off of Bruce Lee, and Bruce Lee was known for his extraordinary
fighting skills (taijutsu in this case). Furthermore, Gai is known as the best
taijutsu shinobi in Konoha.

Thus, it would only make sense to accentuate Gai's physical prowess and focus
less on genjutsu / ninjutsu.
