People often asking me these:
- "How can you learn so many martial arts without overtraining?"
- "How many fighting styles should i learn?"
First, mastering 1 fighting style is already enough. But if you wanna try cross training so much. Let me give you some advice.
You must mastering 1 basic fighting style first before doing cross training.
You must mastering 1 fighting style first. If you master 1 fighting style, then learning other fighting style will easier like playing a game (because you already know the basic principe of martial art training right?).
Martial art training is like cooking course: After you mastering how to make 1 menu then you can learn to cooking other menus easier, after you mastering 1 fighting style then you can learn other fighting styles easier.
Even real MMA champions learned their fighting techniques one by one focusly and not learned those all at once in one day forcefully. For examples: After mastering Karate, Lyoto Machida learned Brazilian Jujutsu. After mastering Kickboxing, Bas Rutten learned Catch Wrestling. After mastering Brazilian Jujutsu, Nick Diaz learned Boxing.
By the way, so far only 2 fighting styles which i train at my home or park / field near home until now:
- For long range style i choose Jeet Kune Do because my favourite cartoon & game heroes are using this style. Like Liu Kang, Jacky Bryant, Kenshiro & Forest Law.
- For close range style i choose Boxing because my favourite cartoon & game heroes are using this style. Like Arale, Popeye, Pegasus Seiya & Hagemaru.

I learned many fighting styles one by one for years, not trained those all in same period.
I never joining / training at 2 dojos in same time to avoid overtraining problems (unfocus, confusion, fatique and injury).
For example:
1. My first martial art training is Taekwondo when i was 5 years old in 1996.
2. I trying Karate Kata martial dance club at junior high school in 2005 - 2006, honestly i am bad at martial dance arts.
3. Many years later, i joined Karate point fighting club at senior high school in 2006 - 2009.
4. After graduated from highschool, i trying Aikido in 2009 for several months before switch to Kenpo class in 2009 - 2011 (that dojo have many classes, i am also bad at throws).
5. I learn new martial art again at new Kickboxing club near my campus in 2012 - 2013.
6. After graduated from university, many years later i learn new skill again at Jeet Kune Do in 2017 - 2018.
