Me too! But in case we do not get an answer from anyone who actually knows, I will offer my conjecture.
It is a maneuver to recover your spear if it gets stuck. Ribs and so forth. Upward leverage, rearward traction. Physics of the carrying pole.
I also have a humorous explanation, but these days everyone is so artificially sensitive to being triggered by imaginary offenses against cultural sensitivity, pretending outrage, that I hesitate to mention it.

Posted: Wed Jul 04, 2018 5:11 pmI thought it was a maneuver to stab the spear out even further than usual (more range) - but since that ends up in a weak position (only one hand), to "save" into a defensive position, moving back.
I would love to hear your humorous explanation, klonk!
(At least I am not tethered to one of the arbitrarily set political parties' platforms, so no worries here!)

i just cannot understand the walk backwards with spear over the shoulder
...yeah and that empty arm move, that looks like a block

In this video below the stances I am used to for these exercises, for training, are much lower and driven by the dan tian.
