Practising different styles


Shotokan-kez

Recommended Posts

My sensei (wado-ryu) is currently training in aikido. He's shown me one or two of the things he's been learning. It looks interesting - completely different on one level, yet with some similar concepts on another. I wouldn't mind doing that, but I want to wait until I get my shodan in karate first because I think its better to persevere at one thing for a while and learn it well than to spread my attention too much.

Yeah Fish that was my idea too, i'm hopefully grading for shodan in six months so i was waiting, don't my sensei thinking that just cos i got shodan i was going to give up his club and train elsewhere.

Yes Brian a poll would be good on the subject on weather you should ask the sensei permission to train elsewhere...i'm not sure how to set one up though, never done one before :roll:...........hint hint :brow:

I'll go ahead and set one up for you in the CrossTraining forum since that's what it will be about.

Oops i just set one up bearich in general martial arts :-?

No problem. I'll PM Patrick and see if he can merge them.

In my dojo cross style training is approved of and even encouraged as their are numerous workshops from other styles of karate.

I would certanly encourage doing workshops with diffrent teachers of the same school at first and later train with other styles. Workshops give you a great oppurtunity to train with people from different dojos this can be very enlightning to say the least.

I would not however advise cross style until being higher up in rank else it might lead to confusion.
