Back to Front

 

A distinct type of Switch Foot Maneuver which is physically distinguishable by first drawing the front foot toward the rear foot followed immediately by then stepping the rear foot toward the same relative point as the starting position of the opposite foot - to become the new front foot of the stance.

 

Comments:

 

This maneuver is an alternate name for the Front Foot to Back Foot Switch.

 

This is the original naming convention presented in the basics curriculum. This naming convention caused confusion and spurred the alternate naming convention. Essentially, this naming convention follows the the general purpose of the action.
