Justme,
I'm with you. I like to cross-train in multiple martial arts disciplines and observe the similarities between the different styles/arts. It seems to me that, consistent with Bruce Lee's epiphany, all martial arts should be combinable into a single martial art that encompasses all human movement into a singularity of "truth."
My problem is, I strive to never be one of those guys who "dabbles" in this and that, and then eventually quits to move on to something else. So, each time I pick up a new martial arts course, I have to keep training in the old ones to maintain my skill level. I'm currently taking lessons in 5 different martial arts disciplines (iaido, kendo, jodo, karate, aikido), 4 days a week, and it's becoming quite difficult to make time to train!
Still, fascinating stuff!
