    Would SLT be of any use if it was all you ever got to learn?

    Does SLT have any practical use without the other two if you never have a chance to learn any more?

    No practical use at all

    The first form learned for many of the southern systems is typically consider to be the "beginning and the end" of the system.....Siu Nim Tao in Wing Chun, Som Bo Gin in Southern Mantis, Jik Bo in Pak Mei. This is because they contain the fundamentals for the system. They are the beginning because they teach the newbie the basic motions and concepts of the system. But they are also the "end" because as one matures in the system on begins to see the deeper layers within the forms. So my answer is "yes." If someone only learned SNT along with the proper footwork, they could do pretty well without learning Chum Kiu or Biu Gee. They may be limited in how far they could go with it, but I still think it would have practical use.

    If all you did was the SLT form in YGKYM, then no.

    If you only did SLT and not CK or BJ, but practised footwork, kicking, bagwork, partner drilling including chi sao, etc. like most MA students do, then yes.
