Getting back to the topic of the thread there's one thing to keep in mind: MC is old school and after 8th Level what you learn is customized to what your strengths are so each student learns different.
The standard curriculum only goes so far then it varies by student skills. So there really is no set WL form list . It's open ended. Also, what you learn at the higher levels depends on circumstances. I learned some stuff that other didn't just because it worked out that way. Being in the right place at the right time.
I've missed out on some good stuff for the same reason. Actually, in the early days it was pretty much random. I know some guys that started off with 36 Hands since there was no curriculum laid out at the time.
I suspect with Mimi taking the lead there will be further refinements and structure. Wah Lum is still a work in progress. I happen to know the MC has taken possession of another complete system of Kug Fu that is very similar to Wah Lum. I suspect some of that will be integrated into WL in the future.
Forms are transient, they aren't written in stone to be preserved and worshipped. They are just a collection of moves compiled for different purposes such as drilling certain attributes or providing examples of usage.
It's the techniques themselves that are of importance and shoud be the focus of training. If you understand the principles, concepts and moves then designing foms should be just another tool to help achieve the desired results.
