You mean if you are attacked by an imaginary person? No it doesn't. Nonsense.
4. prevents panicking, develop presence of mind not only in fighting but in any emergency situation, decision making.
Total bullshit.
5. develop our foot work & balance
But much less than bagwork, where you get the added benefit of learning how to hit hard
6. develop proper coordination of legs, hips, shoulders & arms
But much less than bagwork, where you get the added benefit of learning how to hit hard
7. develop proper utilization of power punch & power kick.
But much less than bagwork, where you get the added benefit of learning how to hit hard
8. develop timing
Rubbish. Timing involves something or someone to time with!
9. develop techniques#
Totally wrong. Develops thin air technique AT THE EXPENSE of actually hitting power
10. exercise our interior organs
Really? - But much less than bagwork, where you get the added benefit of learning how to hit hard
11. develop good blood circulation
Desperate.
12. develop our sixth sense, the ability to feel & sense danger
Haw haw haw!
13. help us develop the ability to see thru certain individuals characteristics & intentions
Fukkin laughable!
I don't mean to be rude, but come on. One or two points above are true, but much less than bagwork, where you get the added benefit of learning how to hit hard. This insistence that Forms must have some use leads to these ridiculous assertions. Sixth sense! Seeing through peoples character?
HAW HAW HAW!!!!!!
Come on people. I'm trying to be nice. But you're making it too hard! I reckon Chris Davies, who is on your side, will cringe in embarrassment at your attempts to justify forms!
THIS IS RIDICULOUS

First of all your questions was about forms. But in training as a whole forms, sparring, weaponry, technique application, punching & kicking the bag as well as other works outs will go hand in hand in becoming a good martial artist.
But to summarize a few things in forms:
Breathing, its about inhaling & exhaling that would allow proper circulation & use of oxygen entering your body & at the same time timing it with your attack of punching or kicking to generate that extra power.
Endurance & stamina, I don`t know how other MA do their forms, but in the style that I`m involve with which is ngo cho kun ( 5 ancestors fist), forms are executed with emphasis on the use of full power unleash on every punch, kick & block with the legs, hip & shoulder doing all the power generation & transferring it or amplyfying it to the arms then the fist with certain speed. One single form in NCK is equivalent to 1 min of continous boxing in a boxing round. Concentration, in executing forms with full power not just doing the motion will develop the mind & subconcious to react automatically in a given situation. With breathing & movements the interior organs will get a work outv as well, just like the chi principle.
As far as the sixth sense is concern, try walking in a dark alley & feel what you can. Usually people with no good MA training will walk in the street unaware of their sorroundings & would not even have a hint if someone is behind them & about to grab them or stab them. The auto reaction of sensing that danger & reacting on it before the culprit could lay his hand on you is the sixth sense & the auto reaction could be a sudden block or parrying the attacking hand & automatically delivering a kick, a punch or pushing or shoving the attacker off balance. Thats` the sixth sense, thats`what forms in NCK will help you develop.
