Form-less arts

in General Martial Arts Discussion

Featured Replies

I know some people find forms unnecessary and some people's opinion is that they are indispensable. There are already plenty of threads discussing that, we don't need another...what I am looking to do is compile a comprehensive list of arts that do not teach/require forms.

 

So far I have:

  • Boxing
     
    Kickboxing
     
    Mauy Thai
     
    Krav Maga

 

I'm sure there are more, so lay em on me.

Some Hapkido schools don't. Judo doesn't. I don't think Kali does either. I could be wrong on that one.

NHB. Not sure if thats what you were looking for though.
I love forms, so it would be bad for me to look for an art that doesn't have forms :( Just my opinion, though.
