How do YOU cross train?

[bushido_man96]

As of late, my training is like having a quite conversation.

Mine, too, Bob. But, the holidays do cause that. Next week, I should be back into it.

I have my classes then training is personal which fits around 2 year old son, 17 year old daughter Wife who works predominantly nights etc.

I used to train 6 days a week

I have the same concerns as you. 3 kids, wife, 2 dogs, and a job with a rotating schedule make it tough to get to class at times. That's why KF is so great; its my supplemental mind training.

My usual schedule is:

TKD 3 days a week

Ju Jitsu 2 days a week

Kali 1 day a week

Run or Bike 6 days a week

I have been off training for 6 weeks due to having surgery on my foot but will be back at it full tilt on December 1st!

My training, especially as of late, is like having a quiet conversation because Dai-Soke is no longer with us, especially on the floor.

I feel his unexpected death has left me as an uncompleted puzzle; one that'll never be finished by his hands.

I miss him so very much!!

I understand how you feel, Bob. Just remember that when its really quiet, you just have to listen more closely.

Your welcome.

training with a mixed style is a lot cheaper and less time consuming than doing cross training at different places, haha. My style mixes Goju shorei, american kenpo, shotokan, tae kwon do, okinawan shorin Ryu, Judo/jujitsu/aikido, and escrima/arnis.

Are these all taught as seperate classes or just as one class that does pieces of all of them?

Also, "Judo/jujitsu/aikido" should be written as Judo, Jujitsu, aikido as they are all separate arts just like goju, kenpo, and shotokan are seperate arts. As a grappling expert, I find it a bit insulting when people lump all grappling based systems together. It would be like if I lumped Shotokan/TKD/Western Boxing. They're not the same. Just an FYI really. I know you didn't mean any harm by it.

I like to cross train aikido, and bjj. The throws from aikido compliment my ground game really well, and I have found quite a few ways to make the takedowns work for me.

First of all, Welcome to KF!!

They both help you, imho, to avoid said takedowns as well because of the intimate knowledge from both styles of the MA!!
