How are you doing? My name is Qaeem, on behalf of Expert Village. I’ll be demonstrating Shorin-Ryu karate. In Shorin-Ryu karate, in this segment, I’m going to be demonstrating the spinning back kick. The spinning back kick, just like in the first segments. The spinning back kick, which you’re going to be doing, you’re just going to be adding a twist to that. When you have someone, you can have an imaginary target in front of you. They’re going to come in either with a punch, a kick, or just going come in with a strike. What you are going to simply do is you want to block, just like the middle block. You want to come in, block, twist, make sure you look over your shoulder, you want to kick, and you are going to end up facing your target again. Once again, lock, look over your shoulder so you can look at what you are kicking, and kick. You’re going to end up where your target is right there. I’m going to bring in my partner Mohammed, so I can make the demonstration. Mohammed is going to be throwing a reverse punch and he’s going to be stepping in with his right leg. He’s going to be punching with his right arm. Mohammed is going to punch. I’m going to block out here and then I am going to twist, look over my shoulder. I see him behind me, kick to his mid section right here, all this is open. You’re going to kick. Now, the back kick is so that you can kick in close targets. You’re going to come here, kick, you’re going to be facing him, and he is going to be off the way. We’re going to do that again. Mohammed is going to punch, I step in, block, look over my shoulder, I see him right behind me, and kick. Right here in the chest area, shoulder blade of his body. We’re going to do that again. Mohammed is going to punch, block, spin, look, kick right there. Now, we’re going to add it all together and make it one even motion. Mohammed is going to punch, twist, look over your shoulder, kick, right up in here. Lets do that one more time, punch, block, kick. That is the spinning back kick. On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Qaeem. Thank you for watching.
