There has been some great discussion about whether there is any direct Martial/Fighting value in practicing forms.
- What is your position, not just your opinion?
- If they are good and have purpose, explain why/how.
- If they are purely in the art/dance category for you explain why/how.
- How do you transfer these learned muscle memory skills into application?
- How do you defend forms as useful for fighting when they are a very specific pattern and a real fight or encounter is anything but specific?
