I did only six of the Ho Ken Ju Roppo: (The sixteen striking treasures)
They are:

1. Kikaku Ken \ Zu Tsuki (Demon Horn Strike) – Using the thick bone areas of the forehead, sides, and back of the head in smashing or butting actions.
2. Shuki Ken – Using the bone points of the elbow to strike close targets.
3. Fudo Ken \ Kongo Ken (Immovable Fist) – Using the clenched fist for punching or striking.
4. Kiten Ken \ Shuto (Wake-up rolling strike) – Snapping the hand open at the point of impact, to strike with the outer edge of the palm.
5. Shi Shin Ken (Finger needle strike) – Using any individual fingertip for striking or applying pressure.
6. Shi Tan Ken (Fingertip Strike) – Using 3 or 4 fingertips together in a stabbing drive.
7. Shako Ken (Claw) – Using the palm and fingertips to strike or rake.
8. Shi To Ken \ Bo Shi Ken (Thumb drive fist) – Using the extended thumb supported by the clenched fist to jab the target.
9. Shikan Ken (Extended knuckle fist) – Using the bones of the middle knuckles of the half-folded fingers to strike the target.
10. Koppo Ken (Thumb knuckle fist) – Using the middle knuckle of the half-folded thumb to strike or apply pressure.

12. Soku Yaku (Heel kick) – Using the bottom of the foot (ball of foot or heel) to shove into the target.
