forms remove the transient student in traditional styles.After you've practised the first form in your training thousands of times, gone on and learnt more forms, come full circle and realised the reason behind that first form you embark upon your journey, admittedly some styles have far to many forms, I'm talking from the viewpoint of a style that has less than five

Would that be 'short term transient students'?

san zhan is a southern chinese hard qigong excercise. its not a form. theres few techniques. its a power building excercise.
the circle walking of baguazhang has no "qi" benefits

the one the only reason to do forms is to show how manly tough and strong you are

I'd of thought one of the first things you learn to overcome as a martial artist would be bigotry.
