BKTS, like any other shi, can be broken down in terms of the 13 (peng, lu, ji, an, etc). BKTS is simply an expression of those movements /energies. Any correct expression of them is fine. In fact, since no two opponents may attack the same way, one might have to create a new expression that fulfills the immediate need. I.e., if one's tcc is limited to the forms and specific applications, one's ability to respond is also limited.

In his tradition the application is less evident in the form.

What I meant about TT and CMC is there form has become super subtle and the application has become hidden
So to look for it within their form you need a time machine
In the forms on film it has disappeared and most of those teaching their forms are imatating something most don't understand being further confused by their reliance on films

The form is for training form
Formlessness comes from long repetition of form coupled with solo exercise and pushing along with realistic two man training to such a degree it becomes instinctive and refined
The move shown is not BKTS or CT due to the way the left hand is employed the brush knee part is non existent
I can think of a dozen more moves it is more like ,one is hit tiger.
A boxer would not just practice anything as a punch,say ding jabs down to his knee out to the side.
Like hsing I he practices a small number of techniques with total form and uses them as required in a formless manner to very defined and selected targets in a formless manner.
Formlessness is not a philosophical concept it is a training goal
