My efforts in crosstraining have been a good asset in my formation inside TKD, when I was a child I do a little judo so I have a few judo moves, I take a little aikido so I have a few aikido moves (evasion,wrist control,some take downs) and now doing kenpo my hand techs are a little better, this has pay very good to me.
Last night doing one step sparring I did a lot of more techs that the average students and some of them using take downs, locks, arm bars,etc, so I am not limited to the same tech of blocking the punch and counter.
I teach some of the young fellows a few moves and they got hooked, my sambunim always aske me train self defense moves with the young men cause he knows I can aport some new moves to them.
Definetively crosstraining is a benefit for us to improve our TKD.
