Because they very rarely demo anything and when they do, it looks 100% like when they fight, or close enough.
But TMA tend to liek to demo things unrealitically, to make their system look uber-cool, but when they fight for real, even though the core of the system is there, it doesn't look like what was demo, case in point: WC and Kenpo.
word. unfortunately this gives a serious false sense of security to those who don't pressure test their sh1t.

don't get me wrong, i like forms and they are VERY useful. but they are, by no means whatsoever, a valid form of combat training on their own. they promote many qualities needed to be not only a good fighter, but a healthy one as well. but they are only a part of realistic training.
