Note 1: Descriptions are not provided for these techniques.

Note 2: The pronunciation of the name of this list is shin - gen. The "g" in "gen" is a hard g-sound as in "gun". It is not pronounced with a soft g-sound as in "generous". It is also not pronounced "gin", like the drink.

Note 3: For many years, descriptions of the Shingen techniques have been widely available. It should be known that, for the most part, these descriptions do not reflect the techniques taught by Prof. Okazaki to his 1948 Okugi class. One theory about the origin of these techniques is that they come from Kyusho lists published in the 1960's. An example of one of these Kyusho lists can be found in the book, Spike and Chain (now published as Ninja Weapons: Chain and Shuriken, Tuttle) by the late Charles V. Gruzanski. Certain techniques, such as Bitee and Ushiro Inazuma appear in these alternate Shingen versions and in the published Kyusho lists, but were not a part of Prof. Okazaki's Okugi curriculum.
