Open your own dojo doing what? You're learning a bunch of different styles and not committing to one. So your getting little drips of information and not having time to self train one style so your doing TKD but because your doing everything else you don't have time to practice your forms or anything else. Cross training is fine for yourself but doing it to open a school isn't necessarily the best option. Also you do realise you open a dojo you won't be able to train like that anymore because you'll be teaching and unless you are extremely lucky you'll also have to contend with a real job as martial art teaching is in most cases not a sustainable income. A lot of teachers end up paying out of their own pocket to keep their doors open. Also if you want your own place you need teaching experience. Doing gym sessions isn't going to make you a good teacher you need to get that experience assisting classes from an instructorI have instructors only for each individual style as in, a boxing coach etc. But this schedule I made myself. I want to push myself so I can be the best I can at this stuff, as I want to own my own dojo when I’m older.
As for my parents, they’re not really aware, but as long as I perform in school and don’t overwork myself, hence this post on my forum, they won’t mind, even though they would prefer if I had picked another sport to be passionate about.
