First assume there are no true teachers of the style in question anywhere near where you live.
If there was a person that taught Tai Chi, for example Chen Style, but this person did not know any depth or internal of Chen. But his forms were dead on exact to the actual family style, would it be worth it to go to the teacher to study Chen?
Additionally, would it be worth it to go to this teacher if you also had the chance to meet with a true Chen teacher once or twice a year?
Would knowing the forms and only the forms be an advantage or disadvantage when meeting the real deal?
I can honestly say I do not know how to answer this, which could explain why I posted it.
