And after they throw eachother around, they let off some steam with a lil bit of this:

Not necessary!
If you spar/wrestle 15 rounds daily, it won't take long for you to figure out what you like to do and what you don't like to do. You then look back your forms and you may find out that you only apply 10% information from your form. What's wrong with the other 90% of your form? If you will never use the other 90% of your form in spar/wrestling then why spend time to train it?
If you always use front kick to move in, when your opponent
- refuses to move back his leading leg, you sweep his leg. You then use his leading arm to jam his back arm, and punch his head.
- moves back his leading leg, you roundhouse kick his belly. You then jab and cross at your opponent's head.
Whether your kick, sweep, or roundhouse kick work or not, you get your opponent to pay attention on your legs. This will give you a better chance to set up your punches.
Now you have 2 combos with 4 moves that can map into combat reality without any modification. If you link these 2 combos as 8 moves sequence, you get yourself a new solo form.
- What's the difference between this new form vs. your other TCMA forms?
- Why such combo cannot be found in any TCMA forms (at least I haven't found yet)?
- Do you prefer to spend more training time in this new form or your TCMA forms?
- What style should you call your 8 moves new form?
- Does it matter whether you connect combo 2 after combo 1, or combo 1 after combo 2?
- Will people consider your 8 moves sequence as TCMA form 1000 years from today?
- Will you call the new 8 moves sequence have more intelligent than the TCMA forms or the other way around?
Onething for sure is, if everybody train these 8 moves sequence, nobody will say that TCMA is not combat effective.

Is old always better than the modern?
Here is the old Tantui #1 - elbow strike, hook punch, groin kick, face punch 4 moves combo.

Will you say that old is always better than the modern?
Should form be abstract or concrete? The "hip throw" and "shoulder throw" have similiar body motion. Both require to bend upper body down. The only difference is the hands position. If your form has a forward bending move that can be mapped into either hip throw or shoulder throw, do you want to maintain the level of abstraction so it can cover both throws, or should you just map into either hip throw or shoulder throw but not both?
