- right back stance, left foot is forward, right foot is back. left back stance, right foot forward, left foot back.

- don't step forward into the stance. drop down and push your front foot forward.

 that is most definitely not how to do a back stance you might do amarikick or 
some other fo-rate but in traditional karate dojo you would learn that in back stance you keep your front leg straight.
