As to how this relates to MA, I know several instructors who won't teach their kids anything other than straight TKD, or straight Karate, but I for one am glad that I've had the chance to be exposed to a solid base of TKD, with some aikido, jujitsu, escrima, and boxing thrown in. He (my instructor) wants to give us a wide base with which to learn from and choose the techniques that we find the most effective.
