Ushiro-geri (Back kick)

Explanation of some of the key points when performing Ushiro-geri (back kick).

[dispecablebards]

I am just knew to lean martial arts once in a week during my off days. 2 hours per session in a week. Watching techniques helps a lot for me to practice by myself during night time if I'm free from work. I consider my exercise before going to sleep. Thank you for your channel. It's been a month of learning so I can do some movements that can high my white belt to the next level. It's my dream come true.

Probably the best explanation of a rear kick I have seen on the internet thus far. 👍

The BEST tutorial, thorough and clear, on back kicks, not only Ushiro, but also Yoko Geri as you explain the difference between the two. Thank you!

My old karate teacher was a full contact fighter his spinning back kicks had power in them. Really good instructional video

[vinhd]

These are the best explanations of Kihon that I could find. Clear, thorough and straight to the point. I feel as if the Sensei is right beside me instructing me step by step. Thank you so much! Oss.

Thanks a lot Seamus 'O Dowd! First of all for your fantastic and inspiring book "A Karate Story" (I highly recommend to enjoy it to everybody out there!) and second, for this tutorial.
I struggled a long time with Ushiro-Geri till this and some other videos teached me to first turn (full), look and kick then 🥋

[vahidasadi]

Awesome. Every part of this video has small techniques that perfects the kick

[henriquenakamura]

Oss sensei, gracias por tus videos educativos de kárate, estoy comenzando con esta disciplina y tus videos me servirán mucho para practicar en casa.

[Litoskis]

Amazing tutorial, thank you very much!

[tinotrivino]

moving the head, before the back kick is a huge help, believe me.

Great tutorial. Wondering if you have any tips or what modifications are required to fully step back after the kick when starting from zenkutsu-dachi or fighting stance? (stepping back the kicking leg behind the front leg, to the same side/without fully spinning around like would be done in ushiro mawashi geri)
Sending my bodyweight forward past the front leg while kicking makes it very difficult to pull the leg back to its original pre-kick position, unless i slow down the movement drastically. Thank you!
