This thread is addressed to anybody who trains in more than one style. What do you do when one of the fundamentals of one style directly contradicts one of the basic precepts of the other. If you practice doing things both ways, chances are that you will do neither correctly. If you simply choose what you think works best, you will severely limit your progress in the other system. Or, you may decide to quit one system and devote yourself exclusively to the other. But any choice you make will be difficult and limiting.
