Neo Dragon Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Thanks for starting this thread cause Im dealing with a situation like this. Ive trained in Karate and im almost at Black now and Im wanting to join a Judo school; but Im not sure if I should ask for my Sensei's permision. Im kinda woried about what he would say.
cathal Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I am definitely saying Yes because if not a point of respect, the organization you belong to may have to take it into consideration when training in similar techniques. Legal issues such as insurance coverage may also come into play at some point as well. .The best victory is when the opponent surrendersof its own accord before there are any actualhostilities...It is best to win without fighting.- Sun-tzu
Myth Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I think I'd rather ask advice than permission, I would ask for advice, but I won't ask for permission. I'd probably follow the advice however. Green belt Tang Soo Do. And I love it!
Jeet Kune Do Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Its better to learn more styles than just one A drop of sweat spent in practice is a drop of blood saved in a battle.A person who say it cannot be done should not interrupt the man doing it.
karatekid1975 Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I agree with Myth. I study Shotokan. I cross train in Jujitsu when my instructor can do it (he's a busy guy). Both sensei know I do the other art. They don't mind at all.When I did TKD, my instructor didn't believe in cross training for his students, but he did it through out his life. So I did it anyway. Not out of disrespect, but if he did it, why can't we? Laurie F
Jiffy Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I'm with Myth on this one. I think you should at least advise your instructor what you are doing, even if you are not asking permission. It is something that is of interest to them, and not disclosing as such is being a tad on the dishonest side. The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open.
Brandon Fisher Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I say yes you should ask, if for no other reason out of respect for your sensei. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do
dragonwarrior_keltyr Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 I think it's more important for tradion and respect than anything else. Way back when you usually studied from one master and they were that, a master. So, I'd say yes, for respect of your sensei, and the art, ask. External training without the training of the mind is nothing
