As I finished reading this Wiki entry, a thought occured to me.

I see a contradiction in regards to what is often spoken of TCMA training, and the traditionality/practicality of said training in regards to forms.

Many times you will see people talk about "forms collectors" in such a light as to make it seem very untraditional, and that these form collectors more often than not are not "the real deal".

Then you read all this stuff about CTS, and read about this account of this teacher defeating him with a style that he knew. A style that in the process of learning required numerous forms to be learned.

Anyone see where I am going with this?
