– UTD TECHNIQUES – BACK KICK VS. POSITIONING KICK 1. The back kick and the positioning kick are basi- cally the same thing. 3. Anytime you move your feet in any motion EXCEPT a back kick or a positioning kick you will likely move forward. 2. The back kick moves you backward through the wa- ter. The positioning kick holds you in position. 4. Which means if you do not want to move forward, you must be doing a back kick or positioning kick all the time.
