How are you doing? My name is Sensei Qaeem and on behalf of Expert Village, I’ll be demonstrating Shorin-Ryu karate. A technique in Shorin-Ryu karate, I’m going to be demonstrating the back fist. In the back fist, once again, you’re going to get into your back stance. Now with your front arm, that’s the hand that you are going to be striking with. Back fist, you want to come here, out, and back. You’re going to actually break that down into movements. Come one, two and back. So when you put it all together and put it all in one, back, stepping forward and back. You wan to hit with these first two knuckles or your fist. Now I am going to bring in my partner here Mohammed and I’m going to demonstrate the back fist on Mohammed. Now Mohammed is going to get into his fighting stance. Now with the back fist, this is a closed target contact. What you want to do is, you want to move his hand out the way, come in, back fist. Now you’re going to back fist to the side of his head, the temple. You’re going to back fist to his neck; back fist to his ear; back fist to his nose. Whichever target you feel comfortable hitting.
