When i tried to cross train in Judo a few years ago, neither club liked it and i ended up getting banned from both. Aikido senseis don't like the idea that you can use aikido kata in freestyle sets, and judoka don't appreciate being immobilised by the skill of aikido move sets. It was very effective for me at the time though?!?
Cross-training does NOT mean bringing the skill set of one into the other in order to outdo your training partners.
Effective martial arts training is NOT "besting" your partners, it is being an uke who allows your partner to learn.
