Kashu Tenshin Amaguriken (Chestnuts roasting over an open fire):  This is a technique that Ranma learned to increase the speed of his punches so fast that his fists seem like a blur.  Ranma learned this technique from Cologne by placing chestnuts in a fire and snatching them out of said fire without getting burned.

Moko Takabisha (Fierce Tiger Domineering):  This technique is a modified version of Ryouga's Shi Shi Hokoden technique Ranma focuses his Ki (Energy) on his sense of confidence and creates a ball of blue energy onto his hands which he uses to fire at his opponent.  Ranma learned this technique after trying rather unsuccessfully to master Ryouga's Shi Shi Hokoden which drew upon the persons feelings of sadness and loneliness Ranma figured out that he could use another emotion that was more in sync with himself and his own emotions and created a Ki blast that would draw on his confidence instead of his sadness.

Hiryu Shoten Ha ( Flying Dragon Ascent to Heaven):  This is a technique in which Ranma uses his own sense of calm while stepping away from an enraged opponent drawing them into a spiral and at the end of the spiral Ranma uses his Cold Ki and does an upper cut that connects with his opponents Hot Ki with the resulting force creating an enormous Ki Tornado that takes Ranma's opponents and throws them into the air while leaving Ranma unscathed in the middle of the vortex.  Ranma learned this technique from Cologne after having his strength taken away from him by Happosai.

Hiryu Shoten Ha Kaiteiban (Flying Dragon Ascent to Heaven Revised) - Hiryu Korin Don (Flying Dragon Descent):  This technique is a modified version of the Hiryu Shoten Ha in which Ranma uses the Hiryu Shoten Ha technique and then instead of standing in the middle of the vortex Ranma jumps straight up into the Tornado while gathering his Ki into his fist and then shoots out of the top of the Tornado and comes down fist first onto his opponent hitting them with the Ki he gathered onto his fist.  Ranma learned this technique while fighting Prince Herb an opponent who knew about the Hiryu Shoten Ha technique and could effectively counter Ranma's attack switching the damage from the technique over to Ranma until Ranma intentionally tricked him into the Hiryu Shoten Ha and revised it to beat Herb.

Hiryu Shoten Ha Kaiteiban (Flying Dragon Ascent to Heaven Revised) -  Horizontal Hiryu Shoten Ha:  This is another modified version of the Hiryu Shoten Ha in which Ranma focuses his Ki and instead of creating a tornado that goes vertically he throws the tornado horizontally towards his opponent.  Ranma learned this technique during the OAV (Original Animated Video) Episode #6 'Akane and her sisters' while he and Akane are fighting Akane's mysterious long lost sisters, this attack was not very strong but Ranma used this technique as a combination attack were Akane placed herself in front of the tornado in order to use the force of the Hiryu Shoten Ha's wind to propel herself towards the two sisters and deliver the finishing blow to both of them.

Hiryu Shoten Ha Kaiteiban (Flying Dragon Ascent to Heaven Revised) Hiryu Gyoten Ha (Dragon Look to the Heavens):  Ranma's final modification to the Hiryu Shoten Ha technique in which Ranma created a tornado while in the air that went down and hit the ground.  Ranma used this technique at the very end of the series.  Trying to save Akane's life while he and Akane were falling Ranma used the heat from Saffron's previous attacks to create the Hiryu Gyoten Ha which he used to hit the dragon fountain and unleash the fountain's water up towards he and Akane in order to return Akane back to normal and keep her from dying (Akane had been turned into a foot sized version of herself by Saffron and in that state if she fully closed her eyes she would die).

Neko Ken (Cat Fist):  Probably Ranma's most useless/use full technique, Ranma when using or when forced to use the Cat Fist he in essence takes on the personality of a cat but he gains incredible strength, the ability to shred anything in an instant and becomes much faster.  Out of all the really stupid things that Genma has done to Ranma this is by far the worst thing Genma has ever done to his son, in order to teach him this technique Genma wrapped a 6 year old Ranma in Fish Sausages and threw him into a pit full of starving cats, then when that didn't work Genma wrapped Ranma in Dried Sardines threw him into a pit full of starving cats then Genma wrapped him up in Salted Sardines and threw him into a pit full of starving cats and finally Genma wrapped Ranma in Fish Cakes and threw him into a pit full of starving cats, the end result was that Ranma developed an intense fear of cats and would freak out when ever he saw a cat, if his fear becomes too great then Ranma's mind retreats and he mentally becomes what he fears the most a cat.  Ranma does not actually remember when he becomes a cat and the only thing that can snap him out of it is either being drenched in water and changing genders or sitting on Akane's lap and having her pet him to calm him down.

Yakitori Gatame (Shish Kebab):  A technique that Ranma used while fighting against Moose Ranma does a one arm hand-stand high kick grabbing Moose's head between his feet and tossing him.

Bakusai Tenketsu Fuji (Bakusai Tenketsu Seal):  A technique Ranma used to try to stop Ryouga from using the Bakusai Tenketsu on him Ranma extended his hand with his fingers in a small V shape then Ranma grabbed Ryouga's index finger stopping him from doing the Bakusai Tenketsu.

Saotome Ryu Ogi - So Ko Ko (Saotome Secret Attack - Run Think Attack):  Basically Ranma shouts Saotome Secret Attack and runs away in order to figure out how to beat his opponent.  One of the many very stupid Martial arts techniques that Genma taught to Ranma.

Saotome Ryu Ogi - Roga Shuhai-tai (Saotome Secret Attack - Wolf Fang Attack From Behind):  Ranma shouts Saotome Secret Attack and then points behind Ryouga's back and yells "What's That!?" and attacks from behind.  A technique taught to Ranma by Genma and like Genma the technique is just as equally useless.  Ranma uses this technique against Ryouga when he has the mark of invincibility over his stomach.

Saotome Ryu Ogi - Moko Ichigeki-tai (Saotome Secret Attack - Fierce tiger hit Figure):  Ranma shouts Saotome Secret Attack and then points on the floor and says "look someone dropped 100 yen!" then attacks from above when the person bends down to pick it up.  Another useless Saotome special technique that Ranma learned from his moron of a father, uses it against Ryouga while he's got his mark of invincibility over his abdomen.
