The evolution of Ving Tsun has adopted a method of learning and we do that via the forms and interim drills. Humans have been fighting way before any MA doctrines were invented but they needed to create, learn, preserve and maintain the system.That's the way it is.
No need for it?????????????????????
Nope, no need for forms.
There are many MA that don't use forms like SLT in their development and training and their practitioners do quitter well for themselves.
To suggest that WC needs any form is to suggest that it is inferior to any MA that doesn't require them.
I am sure WC was WC before SLT came to be, I don't think that the creator(s) of WC developed SLT or any form and THEN developed WC.
That said, like I mentioned, if a form that was developed for a system is use din the way that it was intended, then it will be beneficial for that system.
