doing forms on top of wooden(or stone) posts in the ground has been around for thousands of years. these posts are patterned after geo-metric shapes, star patterns, and star constellations; depending on the patterns and arrangement, many forms, concepts, and ideas will become manifest. of course there will always be skeptics and doubters(the divisions of mankind run deep), yet to them i only say this... you are what you practice. if you are just going along and practicing what everyone else is doing, you will just become another somebody, doing what somebody else is doing. martial arts and self-defense is an artform; it's time to put the art back into the forms. the principle law of nature is to change... stagnation can be suffocating.:D
