I think you need to do some Tai Chi.
A proper practitioner will teach you form and application.
I would disagree with the comment about forms being learnt wearing a Gi having no application in real life. I learnt Judo from a young age and having applied it in real life i would say the Gi is usefull for gripping but is not essential for application.
The Gi helps to hold onto some one after throwing them, whilst training or in competition this is a form of courtesy, helping your apponent to brake thier fall.
Many if not all fights go to ground(sometimes very quickly)so I would argue that a good knowledge of ground work would be fundamental.
