Re: Rhythm

IMHO, rhythm is essential.

Especially if you learn to enter and blend with your uke, both in the same rhythm.
Too fast you lose connection.
Too slow, they over run you.
Same pace, as if their rhythm (momentum) is pushing you, easy.

Everything has a rhythm.
Too often we are trying to get people (on and of the mat) to accept our rhythm. Yet, it may be more effective and efficient to accept and join their's.
