Please explain your answer

IMO you should be able to train under whomever you want whenever you want. No instructor should have the right to limit your learning and self-defense skills. Knowledge is one of the greatest weapons MA can and should possess. The best way to gain this knowledge is to actually research MA your not familiar with and try them out first hand.

Should you inform your instuctor of your intentions--absolutely. But you should not be required to have their blessing.

I believe you should say that you'll be doing another style aswell, but its your choice whether you do a diff. style aswell
