The apps are ok but don't really relate to the moves in the form
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form

Yes, it says Sun style.

I think they are pretty reasonable interpretations of the moves. You don't need to make apps too literary, there are plenty a room for creativity and experimentation. Art wants to be free and tend go beyond boundaries... You shouldn't limit yourself to conventions or to visual expression.

Moves from the form can very in application but his have no relation to the form other than a very loose starting point
If it is freestyle let it be that no need to relate it to the form
If the movements can't be demonstrated exactly as they are in the form then what is the use
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form

Is it practical application that has moved away from the form or is it form that has moved away from practical application? :-\

Structure governs function
If you travel that far from the structure in function you understand niether
Don't put power into the form let it naturally arise from the form
