Regarding: Forgetting the Moves

I trained with a martial artist once who was going to a tournament to compete with the form Lau Gar Kwun.  He got in the ring, bowed in, announced his form, and began.  Somewhere in the middle he forgot the moves, so he started doing the kid's staff form we had been teaching at East West.  Somewhere in the midst of that form, he forgot the moves, so he started doing Master Tom's monkey staff form.  In the middle of that one, he forgot the moves, so he did the ending of Lau Gar Kwun.

He got first place.
