"Stupid is as stupid does."
- Forrest Gump
Doing forms for stupid reasons makes doing forms stupid. Stupid reasons include, but are not limited to:
Requiring them for the sole sake of filling a curriculum
Doing them to fill class time
Doing them without knowing why
Doing them without trying to figure out why
Doing them and thinking you can take on multiple attackers
Doing them and thinking you're a good fighter because your performance looks pretty
Doing them and thinking you're a good fighter while forgetting your opponent will most likely resist
Doing them and thinking you'll pull off every cool move exactly as you do the form
Doing them because they look cool
This list isn't exhaustive, but it got a bit exhausting. Feel free to add to it.
