An idiom describing a series of moves that contain sporadic, irregular, disrupted, and/or random timing.

Comments:

Broken Rhythm is typically used to confound, deceive, and/or unbalance an opponent.

Broken Rhythm is typically used to describe disrupted timing patterns, not patterns cause by external forces, such as the opponent or some Environmental Condition.

Broken Rhythm differs from Disrupted Rhythm, in that Disrupted Rhythm is timing that is broken by external forces.

Broken Rhythm differs from Deceptive Rhythm, in that Deceptive Rhythm can use unconventional, yet Rhythmic Patterns.

A Self-defense Technique executed with a random amount of delay between each move would demonstrate Broken Rhythm.
