Objectives
Offering many formal exercises, (forms) or techniques is not
necessarily an indicator of quality. Quantity is no substitute

Origins of the forms
In ancient times, an exceptional soldier might understand
maybe three or four martial techniques and develop those and
their basic variations over a lifetime, therefore becoming
a master. If he was very capable he might teach others in
order to preserve and safeguard his precious knowledge. Even
at that time, if the outer form was openly displayed and taught,
the secrets were always held closely and only taught to a
select few. Beginning about 2500 years ago, the gathering
together and systematic study of martial techniques began
to take place in the temples of Chinese martial arts like
Wu Dang and then, later, Shaolin.
