Most styles seem to have some form of defense vs a particular type of punch, kick or other attack. Do any styles teach specifically against other styles? For instance, would someones Muay Thai class teach specifically how to defeat, lets say, TKD? TKD teach how to defeat or counter BJJ grappling? Or do most schools just teach against isolated attacks? I imagine this might vary from school to school, but just curious if this has happened. Why would it happen? Possibly for tournaments in which you meet various styles, or possibly a street fight with someone that studied a specific style (is this really likely?). I imagine this might start seeming like MMA, but was curious if schools that teach solo styles did this.
A related thought. Do local schools ever spar together cross-style? For instance, do MT schools sometimes spar with the TKD schools? I imagine same style in different areas would do this, but was curious if cross-style happened often.
Another related thought... if you do teach "anti"-techniques, how do you proficiently perform the style in question? For instance, if TKD teaches anti-BJJ techniques, do they go find a real BJJ student, or just teach rudimentary skills to other TKD students?
Thanks!
