Long and Short rhythm?

[Andre]

You can think in: one, two , 1, 2 , 1, 2, or 1 2 3, 1 2 3, 1 2 3. they are time signatures like drumming . And to break their rhythm or fit into it snuggly you think an's in between the counts and go and move in on the an.

1 an 2 an 1 an 2 an. <thats a 2/4 signature 1 an 2 an 3 an 1 an 2 an 3. < 3/4 siganture Faster 1an2an3an4an.< see that a 4/4 signature

Make the space in between count. Distance plays a big part too. If two are fighting mid range and one breaks free and steps back in on the an and goes nose to nose thenthat original rhythm has been broken.

To disrupt them from continuing their timing on you ,you break your routine and the distance you are fighting at.You could move back 4 inches and deal with only their arms then move back in as a disruption , or you break away totally switch and move in. You could even drag one of their legs forward with your inside foot as you move back and see what happens to their timing , off their balance!
You push an elbow of theirs across their centre line or out the other way and their timing will change too.
