Ushiro geri is a back kick considered one of the most powerful strikes in Kyokushin. When executed correctly, it can generate tremendous force against an opponent.

The main feature of ushiro geri is that the kick is delivered backward without direct visual contact with the target. This is why a strong sense of distance and coordination are especially important.

To execute the kick, the fighter rotates the body and thrusts the leg backward, using the power of the hips and back. Technical errors can lead to a loss of balance.

Ushiro geri is actively used in both kumite and demonstration performances. Its high power often makes it an unexpected weapon against opponents.

Training includes shadowwork, bag work, and coordination drills. Regular practice improves both accuracy and speed of execution.
