Hey there All,
I am a long time lurker but I thought this question would be worthy of posting.
There is a wealth of info from everywhere these days and as martial artists train more they begin to pick up and use different things that don't belong to the technical syllabus of the system they train in (holy run on sentence).
When you pick up these techniques, do you incorporate them into the training system you follow or taught as a separate from the standard class? For example, I have a friend who runs a jujutsu club. He also has trained extensively with many "popular" trainers on the subject of the Indonesian Kerambit knife. He does not train his students using the kerambit during the jujutsu class and trains the knife separately.
Is this the standard practice for such things or is happening less as time goes on. There is a lot of cross training going on and with that being the case... What happens to the systems with verifiable lineages. Do they not teach these things so as not to "polute the well?" If they absorb these "new" practices do they keep the system name or change it to reflect a new branch or direction?
Thanks for the minute...
Regards,
Walt
