You don't have to teach to integrate other techniques into your training. π
When I was training in #Aikido, I was also training in #Judo and #Arnis (Filipino martial arts). Valuable experiences to both pressure test what I learned in Aikido as well as expand my tool set.
I also dabbled in #Silat (Indonesian), which opened my eyes. Two of the biggest takeaways I learned from that was using ukemi as an attack; and the concept of high line and low line techniques. High line being attacks above the belt and low line being below the belt. Once I understood that, it changed how I viewed and practiced Aikido.
Cross training in other arts greatly increased my skill and competency as a martial artist.
