Picture 3., the use of ridge hand (shuto uchi) and the base of palm (teisho tsuki) are widespread in tote jutsu and shown in Bubishi (#19, #31, #35).

Picture 4., The smash or tearing of the testicles are amongst the most efficient techniques of Okinawan karate. Here are shown two different techniques. In firs one, grabbing is done from the outside while holding the opponents arm, which prevents the attack by other arm. In the second, picture a sudden attack shown in the kata Kushanku (ura kamae).
This technique is shown in Bubishi (#36).

Picture 5. Okinawan karate makes use of the elbow in several different variants. Almost all katas contain elbow strikes and proof for this can be found in Bubishi (technique #39). Here is presented sequence from kata Kushanku. Firstly, one parries the opponent attack with an arm or knee, and then he grabs opponents back of the head and smashes his face with elbow.
