Thanks. As for countering it, there are a few ways to go about it. I think the most direct way is to time the beats, with proper distance and timing the beginning of the beat does give an opportunity to hit, but you need the legs to set it up. The first step overcoming it is to make it more difficult or your opponent to beat your blade. Good last second disengages with an active point countering to their hand, change of engarde position, keep the tip moving and threatening etc. Then control distance with your legs. I see lots of people try to pull into absence of blade to avoid the beat but that just opens up other hits. Absence can work, but it needs to be setting up something, not just fearing the beats. The best way to learn is to ask friends to fence you in this way. Then just try different things. Figure out what footwork patterns put pressure without feeding the beats. Experiment with different attacks from absence of blade. Practice remises to the hand after a beat, fleche in prep counter beats etc.

Reverse question, how would a french grip counter this strategy effectively?

Well Christ, where are the parries!? The beat action is clearly telegraphing you that opponent trying to get you to attack. ITS A TRAP! 😁
