2) evasion training. I do the form with the intent that an attack is always coming, linked to the broken rythm form it helps with movement skill, evasion and an illusive nature.
3) Hunter training. I do the form with the intent to dominate similar to that of Xing Yi again helps with movement but also forward pressure and attack strategy.
3) Super slow with minimum of 2 direction pressures happening during movement. for the reason stated above.

solo form practice is to 'know yourself' and partner practice is to 'know others'.
