BTW, answer my questions.

McDojo, is it what you do or is it what you think?

Back on topic,

The longest I spent under one teacher is 10yrs. It wasn't always face to face. Since We moved alot It was hard to say under someone for a long time. Usually I would find other teachers who came up with an instructor if I could. I ended up traveling to train more than anything else.

I practice Korindo Aikido for around 12 years by now. With the same teacher and intend to stay with him for a long time yet. I still have a lot to learn from him and with him in Korindo Aikido and M.A. in general.
I have done some Karate with the same teacher, but only for an year or so (then I was enlisted to the army).

In the last 2-3 years I started TKD as well, with another teacher. The teacher is integrating both sport TKD and self defense (he has some experience working as security for the courts). I find TKD to complement my Korindo Aikido (we rarely kick in Aikido and it is difficult to practice good defense against kicks, even if it does exist, unless you are used to being kicked at).
I enjoy getting the different views on M.A. each of my teachers have.

I plan to take some Judo (mostly for the ground grappling) probably with my main teacher, and probably some WC (I found a great teacher). I just hope I can find the time for it all. Even today I find it quite difficult. And my relationship with my current gf are tightening, a great thing, but less time for M.A.

"rattle on caveman,

Such my ass, bitch. It that the best you can do? Is that the great knowledge you posess?
You're still clueless. You still don't have the foggiest notion beyond your rhetoric.
Truth is you come off to me as a little minded guy trying despersately to make martial arts his place of empowerment. Blah blah blah, spewing out trash to make yourself seem like somebody. I've met tons of people like you. Mostly insignificant except for that one thing you cling to that somehow fills the void. Without it you would be slight and invisible. It seems everyone is entitled to their opinion as long as YOU are right. Ugh, pissant.
Heres some thing you may understand."

Migos heteroasexually challaged (everyone all the time)

talking from experience again, kid? "It takes one to know one". You seem obssessed with cock sucking and romosexuality and all manner of man loving things, are you try to tell yourself something?

I think you should go back and play with your barbies and leave this to the adults.

McDojo, is it what you do or is it what you think?

Traditional Martial Arts??? Are we talking about staying with one style/instructor and the true genocide of survival or are we speaking of the true Traditional Martial Arts where your instructor beats your legs with a kendo stick because your stance isn't deep enough? Before we discuss and disagree about Traditional Martial Arts we must first define "Traditional."
Many schools in the USA say they are "Traditional" but if you really want a traditional school you must, and I repeat must, travel to the country where it originates and study from a 80+ year old instructor and let him beat you to a pulp for not doing something correctly.

Saiken,

I know what you mean. My teacher was very old school, ran that place like a dungeon.

LK,
14 years old, ey. I had to be argueing with a puke.

McDojo, is it what you do or is it what you think?

I have been training for only five years. Not a whole lot I know, but hey it is more than some people.

>you must, and I repeat must, travel to the country where it originates and study from a 80+ year old instructor and let him beat you to a pulp for not doing something correctly.

Trained twenty years with one school, one teacher(kyokushinkai) and would still be if possible, after all, a system where you have to break three boards just to enter the tournaments and demands respect, honor, and discipline has some advantages.

Why do people get such a hard on about breaking boards? That has nothing to do with punching in a fight. Start throwing a tech liek that on me and you will end up on the ground before the move is done.

Longest I've trained with one instructor? 12 years. Martial artist break wood because their board.....bwahahahaahahahaha....get it board...bored.....bwahahahahaahha, why am I the only one laughing?
