karate dojo

today we do ushiro geri – the foot step backwards one of the strongest techniques in karate the ushiro geri hits with the heel first you turn around 180â°

at this point make sure the knees stay together and the body is straight the defense goes towards adversary and the knee is tightened

from here the heel draws a straight line backwards to the goal and comes back in the same way at this point turn towards the adversary first go slowly then go strongly now a tip for the advanced people: ushiro geri with two hip inserts at the beginning when you turn to avoid the adversary sees what you're going to do

you should not just turn and leave but rather the movement should start from the center of the body, from the hip first use the hip and the rotation shows the start it's important for a smooth crossover the second point is during hit

when the leg is stretched if i make ushiro geri right, the right hip goes down the hip goes down ... ... turn there is more power in the foot kick together first slowly hip impulse 1 hip impulse 2

thank you for watching! that's it for today.
