The primary answer to this question is fairly simple and straight forward. This is due to the fact that there was a categorical need to execute an isolation sequence (and self-defense techniques) to a new direction - in this case toward the rear. Because of this requirement, a portion of the form is done facing the rear.

 

For more information about this categorical need, refer to "Focal Points - Obscure - #6" section of the Long Form Three book in this series and "Focal Points - Common - #8" section within this guide. This can be further supplemented with various other parts of the Long Form Three book and various sections of this guide.
