Attacking Backwards was an offensive combat maneuver that was taught to all Jedi Padawans during their training at the Jedi Temple, during the final decades of the Old Republic. Using this technique, a Jedi could intercept an attack from the rear by reversing the movement of their own attack in such a way that they scored a hit on their opponent without actually turning to face them.
