As I don't study them separate from each other, I honestly I believe I just study one - the art of human physical combat. So is that one art or many arts? I suppose the depends on how you define things. -John

That said, I have poked around informally in other arts, while training formally in something else at the same time. _________________________ "In case you ever wondered what it's like to be knocked out, it's like waking up from a nightmare only to discover it wasn't a dream." -Forrest Griffin

harlan Professional Poster Registered: 07/31/04 Posts: 6660 Loc: Amherst, MA	Well, I've recently learned a little bit about joint techniques that could be applied in karate. It might make me curious about 'chin na', but it's not the same as studying Tai Chi or Baqua. I meant the traditional seperate studies/schools. Some folks advocate learning distinctly different studies...so as to not confuse things.

Dereck Prolific Registered: 10/04/04 Posts: 10411 Loc: Great White North	I chose 2. We do TKD/BJJ blended, much like how John noted, however I also train separate just BJJ though there is the odd MMA mixed in as well to both. _________________________ "IF I COME ... I'M BRINGING THE PAIN WITH ME"
