Something came to me while replying to something on the TKD forum. I want to do some research to find out whether there is a higher amount of strikers crosstraining in grappling or the other way around. So, the poll, which I'm sure is by no means adequate for you to answer as you really want to, which is what the textual response is for!

RazorFoot Professional Poster Registered: 12/01/04 Posts: 2064 Loc: Seated at the computer, DUH	I started going from striking to striking. I went from TKD to Kung Fu. Once I got a taste that there were other arts out their with different focus, I cross trained a little more but once again went from Kung Fu to AKK. With the impact the UFC had, I then tried to pick up as much BJJ as I could. Now, all I pretty much do is cross train(I get disapproving looks from my Sah Bum Nim for doing it too). _________________________ "The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be."

hedkikr Professional Poster Registered: 02/28/05 Posts: 2827 Loc: Southern California, USA	You didn't include any weapon arts. I trained w/ the Gracies in 1994. I also trained Arnis w/ one of Bustillio's students 1992. I had some Shorinji Kempo from 1986-? under one of Doshin So's students.

bo-ken Veteran Registered: 06/07/04 Posts: 1228 Loc: beaver falls, PA, beaver	Striking to grappling and striking to striking. I trained with a few boxers for awhile to work on my hands and Started in TKD and switched to Shotokan. I always was learning grappling in my Shotokan school but now I do a lot more of it. I love throwing people and am learning how to fight in a clinch. I am pretty much just training differently now that I have a school.
