Back or ribs?: The cause could be a bruise, cracked rib, cracked vertebrae, or a pinched thoracic nerve. I suppose it could be a pulmonary cause that is unrelated to your martial arts. Diagnosis depends on the exact location of pain & the pain characteristics. Is the pain directly over the vertebrae? Or more lateral over the posterior ribs? Do you have pulmonary symptoms? Write back or consult w/ details.

Over did it.: Sounds like you really have been working hardon your martial arts. A small amount of ibuprofen taken with food may help but take a little time off and se if your muscle strain wers off. Last option is to see a sports medicine doctor.
