I wonder why is so dificult to adapt from one style of ma to another when doing crosstraining.
Eder is a friendo of mine who is a second dan black belt in karate do shotokan, he's training TKD for almost 2 years and he will become a black belt in this ma probably next december. Eder is an outstanding partner and performer however his poomsae (taeguk) is very karate alike, I have been practicing with him in the past and even his TKD technike has improved I think he will never get rid of his karate training, for example his stances are very low his blocks are too shotokan his side kick is much much diferent from ours, etc.
Myself, training kenpo I can't get rid of my natural figthing tkd stance I simply can not do the kenpo fighting stance, my blocks are a little diferent than the kenpo and my kicks are TKD.
Why is so dificult to adapt to those things from one ma to another?
