In the thread How many arts are you studying or training in? started by Kiz Bell, just over half of the people that responded to the poll answered that they study more than one MA.
I am considering taking up another martial art. Are there recomendations as to when someone should start a second MA? Generally, is it suggested that one should achieve a certain rank within an art before starting another? Does it cause much confusion when studying more than one MA?
More specifically for my case, I am presently a 4th Gup in TKD. I am thinking about checking out a Hapkido class. I have discussed it with my TKD instructor already, and he didn't have a problem especially if I bring back to his class some of what I learn.
I appreciate your feedback.
