Problems with Ushiro Geri.

[Hawkmoon]

Turn and spot your target, doing that will help.

can I offer...

Break the Ushiro into parts, and step through each part with a deliberate move stop move stop mind set.

As the guys have said in this thread, think turn not spin.

So turn (Step 1)

Prepare to kick, spot the target (step 2)

Extend the kick - to kick (step 3)

Get the mind used to how it feels what the position is, where the various bits of you are!

Your feet, your head, your arms.

Pick a point on your target, now move stop move stop etc towards placing your foot on that target.

Speed it up a little No power no power at all is needed.

Repeat this over and over.

This as much muscle memory training as it is mind training.

Look at your knee it only moves in one direction, so breaking the movement down allows you to think through how to maximize the only movement it has to give you!

A trick I picked up from a Shotokan school was to push/throw your arm out as the kick extends out!

So a left leg has a left arm extension added to it as well.

(Think Superman pose!)
