That pretty much it for me as well. I do it naturally with the rear, and had to teach myself to use the front on the track as I hate using the front brake for much of anything, but like yours, my instructors have always said the same. If I am comfortable with it, go for it. I just dont tell other people about it. I've learned that it takes a different/delicate touch, and alot of folks dont get that and lock it up...
