Well, I've recently asked my dad if I could cross train, as in, study 2 martial arts and he OK'd it. The school I wish to go in is a Bujinkan school. For those who don't know, the Bujinkan is 1 of 3 international organizations that are known to teach ninjutsu, the other 2 were branched from the Bujinkan. It's founder is Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, grandmaster of the 9 martial arts taught in the organization. The 9 arts are:
* Togakure-ryū Ninpō Taijutsu (戸隠流忍法体術)
* Gyokko-ryū Kosshijutsu (玉虎流骨指術)
* Kuki Shinden Happō Bikenjutsu (九鬼神伝流八法秘剣術)
* Kotō-ryū Koppōjutsu (虎倒流骨法術)
* Shinden Fudō-ryū Dakentaijutsu (神伝不動流打拳体術)
* Takagi Yōshin-ryū Jūtaijutsu (高木揚心流柔体術)
* Gikan-ryū Koppōjutsu (義鑑流骨法術)
* Gyokushin-ryū Ninpō (玉心流忍法)
* Kumogakure-ryū Ninpō (雲隠流忍法)

Anyways, I want everyone's honest opinion, should I cross train in 2 different schools and get the most out of my training, or should I stick with one and feel like I'm getting little?

I've heard of it, but i've never been big on the ninjustu thing. I fought a guy at a fight night that said he trained ninjustu, and was dissapointed, since our mutual friend had talked him up to me for like a year or so. the fight was over in 20 seconds. (most of which was circling.)

but any way, if you do decide to take it, remember that ninjustu isn't meant for a straight up fight, it's meant to be sneaky.

Last year's theme of the year was Togakure ryu, so I doubt that the 2010 theme is going to be ninjutsu, especially because Hatsumi only teaches high ranking members Gyokushin ryu and Kumogakure ryu. Most likely it's going to be an art that does straight up fighting.

I would personally stick with one school until you reach the 1st Black level. At that point, depending on the art, you'll typically wait approx 2 years before you'll be eligible to test for 2nd. During that period, you'll have more time to devote to cross-training in another art. Also, there are some arts out there that can be considered a complete martial art by incorporating kicking, punching, blocking, boxing, self-defense, weapons, nerve striking, and grappling. Take a look at Kenpo. Great art...very complete.

Yes, but think of all the greatest martial artists you know who cross train. Bruce Lee, Gichin Funakoshi, Chojun Miyagi, etc.

Bujinkan, for all intents and purposes despite the training and qualifications of Dr. Hatsumi Masaaki, has become a McNinja school in the Americas.
