Question 043: Training in two schools

Training in two dissimilar arts, such as Taekwondo and Judo, is usually not a problem. The two arts use different techniques. However, training in two similar arts, such as Taekwondo and karate may be a problem. They both use stances, punching, and kicking techniques, but the manner of performing the techniques may be very different. A Formula 1 race car driver may also race a fuel dragster and be a champion at both, since the driving techniques used in each are different. However, while a Formula 1 race car driver may learn to race a NASCAR stock car, the driver cannot race both and ever expect to win at either. The driving techniques are very similar in each, but the intricacies that make one a good driver in each are very different.
