When doing very low speed manoeuvering you only use the rear brake. When moving faster you almost entirely use the front brake, maybe with a small amount of back brake. In the dry, 80/20 or 70/30 bias towards the front brake is often suggested, though 50/50 is more usual in the wet.

Importantly, never touch the front brake when doing a U turn or you're going to end up in trouble!
