I feel that this is a question that could be answered for martial artists of all levels, especially for the noobs:
Should you cross-train into multiple different styles (such as BJJ, San Shou, ect) when you have a primary martial arts style (such as Tae Kwon Do, Ninjutsu, Muay Thai, ect)?
If so, how, when, and why? What makes cross-training useful?
I personally assume (from what i've heard) that you should only cross-train once you have your primary fighting style down and have reached at least 1st Dan.
From what I gather, cross-training should only be applied when your specific style or art lacks a certain thing (such as Muay Thai with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu).
Can you take moves from one style and mix it with your own primary style?
Why or why not?
