Starting from hidari shuto-dachi (左手刀立ち)
(left foot forward, right foot at 90 degrees, even weight)
The legs do not move at all.
The feet remain exactly in place, keeping the original L-shape
The karateka rotates the upper body to the right, looking backward over the right shoulder.
During the rotation, the practitioner performs gedan shuto-uke (下段手刀受け) backward.
The stance remains essentially shuto-dachi, but now the torso is facing the opposite direction.
In short, Usoku-dachi = shuto-dachi with a backward torso rotation, no foot movement, weight unchanged.
右 (migi / u) = right
足 (ashi / soku) = foot or leg
立ち (dachi) = stance
