Having to learn multiple forms at the same time is a feat! I know because I had to relearn 7 in for month. Frankly, while there is a reason for the forms to be like they are - in some way....the fact that there are umpteen organizations, each with their own variation of forms, ought to give you food for thought.

One can, of course practice all forms for the sake of tradition...I for one am glad if I keep up with current events.
Relearning 7 forms is not the same as learning new forms, although it is a big task. If you want to practice forms in a traditional sense, you would learn 1, maybe 2 forms at the most and learn what the forms are used for.
