There is one problem with the front brakes - if they brake sharply - then there is a chance to fly through the steering wheel. Therefore, it is better in any situation to brake first with the rear, and then if you see that there is not enough (on the same descents) to brake with the front.

I will express my humble opinion. Two fingers should always be on the brakes. On both. We always brake with both. But (!) they should be configured so that the effort of two fingers is not enough to lock the wheel. And the force on the front should be exposed more so as not to tumble. Turning is always through countersteering. If you want to turn left, you push the left handle away from you.

What kind of instructor do you have. What you describe is called countersteering: the steering wheel to the left - the steering wheel to the right, the steering wheel to the right - turn left, only so the two wheels are controlled) The front brake is the main one in 90% of cases, the rest is sand and there it is better rear. On the scooter, the brakes are very so-so, so of course it is worth braking with both, but in general you need to look at the counterctic copy, for example, I do not even have a wheel to block.

Well the front can brake, but not squeeze out completely, and in a straight line, on turns it is better to press the rear, the front lock the wheel and you can just leave.

Your instructor is stupid, I speak as a person with 6 seasons behind me and participation in gymkhan (handling and figure driving). If you need to brake, then it's both brakes front mainly, if in a corner - then rear mainly and front. In order not to be afraid, you need to sit down once with a NORMAL instructor at the bike and see that this is a very stable transport and even 100% of the front brakes at speeds up to 100 km / h will not allow the rear of the motorcycle to rise above the road. That is, in the dry residue - the most effective brakes are the front, they are the safest.
