Do you go to outside seminars? Why or why not?

Well, since nobody else has said it, I started going to seminars with a "non-aikido" teacher a couple of years ago, and it has revolutionised my understanding of the aikido I was taught up to then. I am currently working on trying to integrate the two "streams" in my own practice: I certainly don't feel that one invalidates the other, but I am doing my best to understand what the overlap is between the two models, at the same time as enjoying the subtle and slow changes in how my body works.
A by-product of this is that I am getting much more selective in which aikido teachers I find interesting.
