Re: Lateral Training
We have a few martial arts taught at our dojo. Training with other groups is highly encouraged, and you will often be asked to teach something you learned after training somewhere outside our organization. We have groups of guys attend seminars that find there way near us. We try to go train with Dan Inosanto on his annual seminar nearby. Our aikido HQ dojo hosts an annual summer seminar that is open and teachers from all different kinds of styles teach 30 minute sessions all weekend long. That's always a fun time, whether its BJJ and aikido people doing stand-up sparring, or kumite while doing aikido techniques, judo and karate guys doing aikido, etc. This also involves heavy socialization afterwards, which opens doors and paths to relationships outside of your native organization or martial art style.
