That ' s because Sifu David Chin knows how to fight using movements from the forms , well in TCMA forms can also be called sets . It ' s really up to you to ask the Sifu the usages behind each movement of the form or set . Then learn how to fight using the applications or usages from the set . Theres' a reason behind each movement of the set . Each style or system has a certain number of set , in each set theres' certain number of moves all representing a kick or punch , block or interception hand techniques . If theres' a knee raise and kick , it could represent a knee strike as you move into your opponents body followed by a kick to the body area of the opponent .
I don't know what to tell you to look at forms, but some are good and some are bad.
But even the most mundane form can have value. Take Tan Tui. It's a common form. Because of the Jing Wu, a lot of schools have it. It can be seen as boring at face value and a lot of students don't like it. It's linear, the applications aren't that apparent and it can seem unrealistic. But, if you just take one thing from that form, it's name sake - the springy leg kick (a sneaky, sharp, forceful toe kick targeted just below your opponent's knee cap) and master that one thing. Combine that springy leg kick with the 5 D's of dodge ball, and with a little bit of sparring practice, you'd be more than a match for any school yard or frat boy bully.
