Back fist explanation videos – Martial art techniques
This article is about Back fist explanation.
Today we publish a technical article on Back fist, the Karate Urachen Uchi (see specific video lessons). An advanced arm punch, even faster than the Jab, which hits with the back of the closed fist. Associated today mainly with JKD and Bruce Lee, is part of the classic Chinese and Japanese martial arts strikes.
Let’s make it clear that it is not a punch allowed in boxing. And to sports that refer to the regulation of boxing, for punches. Regulation which provides that you always hit with the front part of the glove, the most padded one.
For sports where is allowed, and for Self defense, it remains a hit with some useful stuff. For example, the incredible speed that this shot can reach, which works with the whip mechanism. But also, being able to generate a decent impact in a small space. Simply thanks to the wrist used as a whip. And the many possible trajectories. The weak point is the relative fragility of the back of the hand. Which, hitting sharp or hard areas, could damage it.
A shot to be used sparingly, and only in a surgical way, against specific targets, such as the nose. Especially useful to surprise the opponent with the first shot and pave the way for more robust attacks.
