Forms Develoment Question
So you read these historical accounts of 'sword dances'. I remember when reading years ago through the records of the grand historian, during the warring states period you would periodically read of people performing sword dances, for what ever reasons. i would assume that generally a sword dance is just a compilation of what ever that man knew in regards to sword fighting, and put it to a choreographed dance.
do any of you think that these dances are the roots to the 'idea' of forms?
this isnt a bout mma vs cma, or forms vs no forms, but more about where the idea of forms in general.
For whoso comes amongst many shall one day find that no one man is by so far the mightiest of all.
