Dojos that train in multiple Martial Arts?

Greetings all, just wondering what Martial Arts training is offered where you train? Do they train in a single Martial Art, or are you able to access training in more than one Martial Art for the same fee? What does your Dojo offer training in.

I'm interested to see what Martial Arts are grouped together by various Dojos and the reasoning behind it.

    Can they reduce, diminish, or disable, the wiring? I'm not sure that I would put it that way. I would lean more to changing or rewiring for the better... because I want to. But if one can happen, then it is only logical that the other can too. Below is my reasoning for the changing whichever way it may go. Instinctual behavior can indeed be changed with consistent physical exercises and psychological influencing. The point of martial art training is to make adjustments to the student's physical instinctual reactions. This is why there must be the consistent training, it is what adjusts the spinal responses to the different types of physical stimuli. This is why even if the person behaves in the manner of fearing any form of fighting will automatically respond once the physical threat has impacted them. (This takes place because the response route runs from the sensation to the spine and back, completely leaving out the brain and it's 'necessary' computations and assessment of the situation.) I hear time and time again, even from the 'masters' of systems saying that martial arts train in the natural behavior for self defense. That is absolutely untrue. If martial arts were natural responses, we would NOT have to work so much at it to become proficient. We would also not have to work consistently to keep the skills gained. I do feel that the adult neurological responses to situations that are lightly threatening to mortally threatening are much more difficult to influence or change, because they are not only born instinct, but also 'trained' instinct based off of the societal influence forming the thought chain and synaptic pathways. In younger people (children) the instinctual pathways can be influenced easier than adults. That is because they are still forming their processes or synaptic pathways. In adults more of a 'brainwashing' approach must be taken to make the adjustments, because they have already formed their 'permanent' thought processes. It is possible, and we've seen it happen throughout society, most notably when dealing with cults, or some form of religious extremism. It is also used in many fiction stories involving military and other secret organizations, which are somewhat based off of rumor of events that have taken place in history. The synaptic paragraph is where I get more of a no to your question. It takes an almost religious devotion to the martial arts, and a 100% commitment to survival to be able to adjust one's own instincts; and this is not something the majority of martial artists do. (NOTE: The majority is all inclusive, the world over. There are many who do, and they would be yes, but there are still enough to be a no.) Ultimately, I don't see martial arts as diminishing or changing a notion such as the one the of the man dying to save his son in a negative manner. I say this because of the moral influence of the most renowned martial art societies, (East Asian). It is taught in these systems that truth, and just actions in all behavior, as well as sacrificing one self for another is honorable, and will repay the soul in this and the next life. People more often than not aspire to these teachings in the martial arts, as opposed to pure self preservation and a solely objective outlook on life forgoing any attempt to help another in need.

    There are dojos that offer multiple martial arts but a beginner should always train in 1 style until the advanced stage. That is where she/he will be matured enough to accept another martial art.

    Dojo is just a Japanese term for training hall Hi - stop being so paranoid.

    I train in an MMA gym that offers Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai. While I'm a believer that a teacher can learn and teach multiple arts and styles I prefer one teacher per style. Makes things simpler.

    I teach shotokan, shito ryu, yamanni ryu kobujitsu, shinto muso ryu jojutsu, seitei ryu iaijutsu.

    kw that is only partial true, a person can teach 3 or 4 styles. places that teach karate, kobudo(weapons) and iaido (sword) will often only have one instructor. and those are three different styles.

    you take fumio demura he use to teach 5 styles and he is a very famous instructors, hirokazu kanazawa another famous martial artist he teaches at least three styles and they are both very good at all of them.

    8 to to 10 styles from one person would be too much but 3 to 4 isnt that many per person, there is a limit to how much a person can teach, and you will often find different weapon styles taught with a h2h, each one is a different style. that has been acceptable for centuries. if you look through the history you will see many famous instructors taught a few styles.
