"Hit" Exercise

So after figuring out the count of a song, how can that be applied to being in sync with a song, especially one that’s never been heard during a round in a battle?  One obstacle I had when trying to apply this counting was not knowing the right speed to go in order to time a freeze to the hit. There were times I’d go too fast, which would result in doing a freeze seconds before the hit of a song and making me feel like a magician who just said “Is this your card?” to someone before they even returned their card to the deck. It is just as bad being late with a hit which would made me feel like I just yelled “Happy New Years!” at 12:02. I knew that to avoid that embarrassment, I have to make sure my body is aware of the speed needed to time a freeze to the hit. The simplest method I found on how to do this is doing footwork drills and emphasizing the hit of a song with a pause or exaggerated movement. To show what I’m talking about, here is a video of me doing a basic six step drill, while pausing at the hit of the songs:
