I found this article on Eric Ling's wonderful blog.

He doesn't sound hopeful about the martial arts, but he does talk about how the form is a receptacle for the art, not the art itself. If you want to understand the art, you have to:

Deconstruct the form, examine and practice each movement, both by itself and in combination with other movements.

Change the movement, combine upper body with different footwork.

Explore how the movement works against an opponent in different situations.


That is Kung Fu.
