Some train for aesthetics some for practicality.

It is all subjective.
I'm anti-tradition. Why should I do my form the same way as the ancient form creator did?
I know I think of this because of how I train forms and nothing in my forms are consistent with stanches, in kung fu stances often change in size and width. A stance to the left side is rarely mirrored to the right side (same as right and left) and we always tend to land almost in the same space provided that a technique wasn't missed or a angle was wrong.I think the main thing is the focus on consistency in your stances.
Forgive Kung Fu wang. That's his CMA talking plus he doesn't like forms so he would do something like that lol.Can't do that in Taekwondo forms.
I mean, you could when practicing at home. But TKD forms are primarily about recreating the technique exactly as done by your master.
if the reasons are not reasonably obvious, then theres a fair chance the reasons are not logical and just a made up rule for the only purpose of having a rule ?Maybe there are reasons for why they did wht they did.
Yes... Because the copy helps build the foundation and understanding. Once you have that then you'll have enough information to change and advance the form. Every brilliant scientist had to be a copy machine learning the same basic math skills. Those basic math skills helped to form their foundation. Once they learned Basic Math, then they may have learned Basic Physics. But even Basics Physics grows from the root of Basic Math. You can't learn Basic Physics if you do not now Basic Math.I'm anti-tradition. Why should I do my form the same way as the ancient form creator did? The best that I can do is just another good copy machine, no more and no less.
Do you want be just another copy machine for the rest of your life?
In Korean and Japanese martial arts there tends to be more of a sense of uniformity. If you go 5 steps to right side then you must go back 5 steps and then go 5 steps to the left side.
The form designer doesn't have to consider that. Anybody can change the right move into the left move (or the other way around) and have a mirror image of the form.Most of the forms are designed to try and end on the same spot. But I think a lot of it also has to do with practicing both sides of a technique.

I'm not talking about the beginner level training. I'm talking about the advance level training. No matter how many research papers that you have read, you still have to write your own Phd thesis to obtain your Phd degree.Yes... Because the copy helps build the foundation and understanding.
This has nothing to do with style. Anybody can train a "mirror form" if they want to.There are many reasons why this approach does not match with the Taekwondo I have trained. I think in this case it comes down to a difference in style. I'm not saying your style is wrong, I'm merely saying it doesn't fit the way TKD forms are taught.

Just shut up about shutting up, would ya?Yup. I don’t make the rules. Nor do I want to. I just want to shut up and train. Funny thing is I haven’t figured out the shut up part of that one yet. And I doubt I will for any length of time
This is how I got started. Careful, or you'll turn into a postwhore.I wasn’t sure if funny or agree was most appropriate here, so I decided on funny.
Edit: See, I couldn’t just shut up, could I?
I think I’ll slow down before I get to that point and just settle at postslut.This is how I got started. Careful, or you'll turn into a postwhore.
Ok.Just shut up about shutting up, would ya?
