Is it disrespectful for having one or more senseis?


Recommended Posts

I'm new to the forum, hence my late insight to this question. However I think I have an important view to add. Train in other styles once you have achieved a solid base in your current style. Your 10 years should be more than adequate. My own instructor encourages us to be open and learn from other practitioners regardless of style. He currently holds a 7th dan in Chung Do Kwan Tae Kwon Do, a 3rd Dan in Olympic style and also a first degree in Jiu-jutsu not to mention the amount of information he has acquired over years of practice and interaction w/ different styles. Plus every summer he attends a camp in Arizona that includes multiple different styles, plus encourages his students to attend as well. Learning from different people should not be a problem, it can only help you grow more in the martial arts and as a person.

Getting a blackbelt just says you have learned the basics and are ready to actually study the form as an art.
