Yes, taking or seizing the Vor just means initiating action first, or securing the timing advantage. "Vor" literally just translates to "before" so when you take the Vor from your opponent, you are forcing them to react to your action. If your opponent takes the Vor first, you are then in the "Nach" (translates to after). But if you can use your opponents "Vor" (or initial action) to your advantage and interrupt it with your own, your action is then neither "Vor" nor "Nach" but "Indes." (Indes is hard to translate to English, but I best described it as "while" meaning during your opponent's action. Short story, yeah I think you used the German term correctly lol. Great fights.
