In our system, one steps can be viewed, in part, as very short, two person forms. They are used to demonstrate techniques and combos, but their primary purpose is to teach movement, balance, timing, distancing...
Unlike regular forms, where such tiny details as the angle of the flex in the elbow is important, I tell students to modify their techniques to fit the exact circumstances. If a punch comes in a little higher, they're going to modify the block/evasion accordingly. If the attacker has rotated their body more or less than they did last time, the counterstrike must be modified accordingly.
