Choy Li Fut - forms

A kung fu form is a choreographed sequence of self-defence techniques, movements, footwork, and body structure practiced solo or with a partner to learn and refine the core principles of a martial art style. Forms act as a structured "shadowboxing" or a "book of techniques" to train technique, strategy, endurance, precision, and balance, often leading to a deeper understanding and freedom of application beyond the form itself.
