training with two masters

Maybe you could arrange to have the 2 schools visit each other, compare some of the material, and have some sparring to check each others weakneses and strengths.

Here in Okinawa that would only end with someone being seriously injured!!! lol

If you plan to stay with your first instructor I believe the choice is his. I would also only consider it if it is a totally different style than you are presently in.

Japanese and Chinese teachers are very jealous with their students, aren't they?

I have never trained under a Japanese or Chinese Instructor, so I am not qualified to answer that question. Okinawan Instructors are fine as long as it is within your association. It is pretty much forbidden to deal with another association within your same style. There is a lot of politics in Karate on such a small island.
