Boxers and wrestlers never do forms. Yet they're more than able to fight, even when they are 14 yrs old. Why? Because their systems are no-nonsense, even though limited and not complete for street self-defense or NHB matches.
So, talking about TMA: if you take Wing Chun/Wing Tsun for example, you have 95% of schools teaching forms, drills and air-punching and air-kicking. Then you have some realists. Like Henning Daverne, for example (www.dewto.dk ). He started a WT "fighter club", where you had to fight for real to pressure-test your art. The consequences are easy to imagine: he has been forced to leave his big and arrogant federation. Still, I think he'd bash almost all "sifus" of his same level.
