The theoretical studies included backward learning its styles, advantages, and shortcomings. The researcher used the descriptive method with two groups; the controlling group and experimental group. Ten students were selected, and they all have no knowledge of the movements understudy. Then they were divided equally into two groups. The data was collected and treaded using proper statistical methods SPSS and T-test. The researcher concluded that backward learning has a positive effect on learning movements understudy.
