Surely you must have collected more than enough different forms by now to finally select whichever one best suits you and then simply work it until you master it.
Real high level skill doesn't manifest from learning more forms, more drills, more weapons, more supposed fighting applications, or more of anything other than more practice of one method, rather than a little practice of many methods. Just saying from my own experience. ymmv.
