Interesting post. I would say that forms are similar to drills. When I do wing chun, I am not going to fight a person the same I do in a drill. The drill is there to help build strength in your legs and building up your movement.
In the forms, I am looking to connect my upper half with my lower half. It is a template for building up my overall structure. In a fight I would hope that my moves resemble something like the forms, but this will not be the case every time.
I use forms to 'chill down' after a good training session and is a good way to practice on your own.
Don't take it as anymore than that my friend
