It all about not putting your tires in a locked position while braking. Using your engine to compensate the slow down assists the rider while he/she is using both front and back brakes in concert with the engine, both on the street or dirt! Be careful not to take your bike down to many gears or your know why I warned you!!

Selecting the right/best gear to ride out of a turn is vital and the action is best done before entering the turn, however, while the engine braking of a 2-stroke is negligible, because the powerband is relatively narrow, the gear selection is more important, a 4-stroke will provide more engine braking but doesn't necessarily require a gear change.

Using the gears to slow down, yes.
