Endless motions and forms without practical appliance through full contact sparring, real world experience or NLP through shadowboxing is gonna be useless.
Learning strike points, nerve bunch locations and anatomy is infinitely more useful than just lifting and waiting on someone's head or body.
Its why niggers can't knock anyone out even with a pack of them, because they don't know how to maximize force or what precise location to direct it.
It doesn't help in the west there is a huge percentage of so called "karate" teachers who's degree of skill is all faked up fraudulent BS.
Learning how to feint, confuse, personal striking distances and being able to read the striking distance of your opponent, finding weaknesses in their form, technique and footwork is not something taught in most modern classrooms.
I have taught guests at parties who after first proving they could not stop a single strike of mine from reaching right past their defenses, learn to be able to immediately increase their ability to block almost any strike by teaching them how to use their peripheral vision and a single circular parry.
It's one of my old party tricks.
Martial arts is about training both your body, and your mind, and your senses.
Without self introspection and awareness, no martial art you pick is going to do you any good in a street fight.
Soldiers being trained how to kill other men learn some important basic anatomy, this is also true of anyone who wants to be just a good boxer
Timing is also, everything
