Definition(s):

An idiom referring to any series of maneuvers or methods enacted in a rhythmic way.

Comments:

The term Rhythmic Pattern is generic and can refer to any sequence executed in a rhythmic way, but most often refers the Strategic Ploy of using the sequence for offensive purposes.

A Rhythmic Pattern can be used to confuse, confound, deceive, and/or condition the opponent(s).

Rhythmic Patterns can be used in conjunction with a number of Strategic Ploys, including (but not limited to):

Broken Rhythm

Conditioned Response

Deceptive Action

False Distance

Momentary Conditioning

Quarter Beat Timing

Like all Strategic Ploys, Rhythmic Patterns can be used by you or against you. But in this case, they are vulnerable to predictability within the pattern itself.

Opposite(s):

Broken Rhythm
