What were the great martial artists of yesteryear known for - innovation. One of the most fundimental problems I have seen in form based martial arts is that there is rarely any innovation or refinment of traditional katas or creation of ones (traditional style, not naska type stuff). Are there any schools/systems out there that continue to refine the traditional katas or have begun to create new ones? I would like to think that human beings have only evolved and as time goes on, students of today should be able to innovate and refine old masters techniques and katas/forms/poomse to bring them into modern times.
