There are going to be elements and fighting styles that you will run into that move counter to you form for whatever reason. Maybe they are able to restrict your movement, maybe they have more offensive capablity than you do, it is all going to depend on what you deal with on a personal leve.
This has less to do with the form itself but having normal combat sense in general, when on the defense the most important thing is being at a safe space. You opponent’s range is going to be VERY critical, in most cases you’ll be against mid to long range opponents.
Using your magic to buy yourself enough to time to turn the tables is important, learning about which magics you have trouble against and learning how to use your speed and stamina to outwit and outpace them is key to success.
Some elements have better defensive options than others, so you will have to be creative when it comes to creating a safe space for you to reestablish tempo in the long run. Also keep your enemies off their comfortable position, don’t allow your defensive position to keep you from victory if you can help it.
