You can TRY, but you can't do it...

The Sharingan lets you copy ninjutsu [well-established]. It does NOT, however, allow you to copy taijutsu JUST LIKE THAT. Otherwise, Sasuke would have been able to use the Lotus anytime he wanted to. He 'borrowed' the kick from Rock Lee, but couldn't do the rest. If he tried to copy Neji's open-handed combat, he couldn't do it very well. He doesn't know how to flow his chakra into his enemy (and the Sharingan can't show you that one), and he definitely can't hit the chakra holes. I don't care what you say, he CAN'T. He'd just be poking blindly.

'But he can copy ninjutsu, so he must be able to copy taijutsu too, since it's simpler!'
Nope. How does a ninja perform jutsu? Hand seals, right? Easy to copy, doesn't require a high degree of dexterity or precision the way open-hand does. If your left hand is a little bit off, it doesn't really matter.

Plus, the Sharingan's greatest strength can also be a bit of a weakness. Knowing ten thousand techniques is cool, but knowledge ≠superiority.

Many of the most effective (real-life) fighting systems have only a few moves. Kakashi KNOWS a thousand jutsu. He is not the MASTER of a thousand jutsu. There's a difference. It's like being a yellow belt in four martial arts instead of a master at one.

Plus, the Hyuga use tai-chi! Can't disrespect tai-chi!
