Zorbasan Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 yeh, both the instructors at my club have cross trained and even offer multiple arts at there school. not MMA tho, they are all seperate classes with seperate gradings etc. Now you use head for something other than target.
Jiffy Posted September 14, 2006 Author Posted September 14, 2006 I (one of Zorbasan's instructors) believe that cross training has some great benefits, but I also think that people enjoy trianing in set out traditional arts, so we have what I think is a great balance. Instead of mixing, we offer several different Martial Arts. That way, people can learn all of the four facets of fighting (I really should hurry up and publish that article) while still gaining gradings and traditions from the individual arts. Not the best way for everyone, but I think it's a great setup. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.

I would love to have a groundfighting school to learn from. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
ps1 Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 I knew a guy like that. He wasn't really my instructor, but owned the school. Anyway, our instructor died. Shortly thereafter I was told he didn't want me in the school anymore because I also trained in BJJ (among other arts). He tried to tell me that our instructor also felt the same way but he had told me otherwise on several occasions. Honestly, I think the guy just wanted to be the higest rank in the school.

Jiffy Posted September 17, 2006 Author Posted September 17, 2006 HAHAHA. I hate people like that. Ego just gets in the way of productive learning. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.

Zorbasan Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 tell him that the instructor told you that he wanted to introduce other arts training into his school Now you use head for something other than target.
