Long and Short rhythm?

[Andre]

Well if your going to break their rhythm up, then you stop their forearms on the an's and hit them off it instead.
Block on the an's or attack on the an's seeking gaps. Same in footwork you can catch their foot before it lands with yours if you move yours in on their an count. Just a form of possible disruption in some cases, nothing else.

i JUST THINK IT HELPS IF YOU CAN PUT SOMETHING INTO TERMS THAT YOUR MIND CAN COMPREHEND FIRST SO THAT YOU CAN TRAIN IT INTO YOUR MEMORY AND REFLEXES.
I dont even know if thATS CLASSED AS SHORT AND LONG RHYTHM TO BE HONEST?

Countering is beating them to the draw (simultaneous block and attack) or hitting up the spaces they create or following their arm back to the goal as it retracts; when you think about it all those land on the off beat or the an's between their rhythm.
