Re: yet another annoying cross training q

I don't really see how you could split hairs and call something concurrent. You are one being and while you may try and compartmentalize your life, all your experiences will add to you being you. So while you may have the best intentions in the world of isolating your training, your experiences will spill over into the other aspects of your life.

Certainly when you are in an aikido dojo you play by the rules and ettiquette of that environment, as well as say, a BJJ dojo. I think that is only appropriate.

However why on earth would you train concurrently and limit yourself to exploring those things that can be synthesized.

In prinicple, I'd say, anything you would learn in any good art would be relevant in the other, as long as you stayed within the parameters of ettiquette and training. Infact, no one would know but you!
