Caving/stepping backward is a losing strategy when facing a threatening opponent, you lose momentum, the initiative, and implicitly admit he scares you/has the psychological upper hand.
Instead you call his bluff and move against the attack in order to render it inefficient. A middle kick given too close is a "hip kick" and it's just shit
If you step backward, it's only to come back right away to put the pressure on again https://youtu.be/ySUNjhUECx4?t=66
