For the Wah Lum people

[Wuxia007]

I haven't trained in Wah Lum since 2005, but I've studied various CMA styles since then.
I was recently going over many forms and styles that I have learned over the years, and I come to the conclusion that Wah Lum's first basic form "8 Chain Punch" may actually be the most practical and efficient form I've ever learn (weapons or open hands) inside and outside the Wah Lum system. The form is simple and straight to the point. I remember being a very impatient student at the time and rushing to learn any and every form as fast as I could. I hated 8 chain punch. I thought it was so boring. There was nothing fancy about it. Yet, whenever I spar, the majority of the time the techniques from 8 chain punch are what I use. When I began to study other systems, I was always amazed how impractical many of their beginning forms were despite how cool they might have looked.
What do you Wah Lum guys think?
