  • Today we are going to work on RHYTHM.
  • RHYTHM means a variation marked by the regular recurrence or natural flow of related elements.
  • This is important because we want to be able to recognize RHYTHM in ourselves and others because we can then break their RHYTHM for an advantage.

Here are the three ways that we are going to improve your RHYTHM today:

1. Using variable RHYTHM with your strikes. 2. Maintaining a constant RHYTHM in your strikes. 3. Have RHYTHM with a partner.
