I can understand that people learn forms from differnt styles, but how do you use them?
What I mean is, I am studying Tai Chi and for example there are different ways to "receive" a punch. Many different ways that lead to different situations (some can lead to a broken arm, some lead to arm bars, some lead to pushing away the opponent, some to punch back....and so on).
When you have in your brain different styles how you behave when you get punched? Do you tend to use only one style? I don't see how you can have the time to pick which style to use, so I was wondering if you just use the same style in a fight, but you learn more.
(I hope I was clear enough in my question)...
