Keep It Simple Stupid.
You need to train and keep things to the most minimal yet maximizes potential in application.
Why do Kung Fu people tell you that you need 10 years to learn something that others are teaching in 1?
Ive given up on the BS Takes 10years Kung Fu movement and started to train much more realistically.
All for use and nothing for show.
You need to train how to strike, kick, throw, & grapple. If need be, go learn from others. I agree with many others here that there is nothing wrong with learning from multiple teachers. Look at Master Chang from Shuai Jiao. He spent years learning from different teachers who were experts in different aspects of Shuai Jiao, let alone being cross trained in other systems.
If you do not train in what you lack, someone who does is going to get you.
I do not care who tells you that you only need one of the above mentioned skills or half of them.
If you lack one of these areas, someone who does not will get you.
Hence the Masters of old trained in Da Ti Shuai Na. And sought out people who could help them.
We need to examine our training and update it.
The more you bleed, sweat and cry in the training hall, the less you will bleed, sweat and cry on the battle field.

Mouth Boxers have not the testicular nor the spinal fortitude to be known.
Hence they hide rather than be known as adults.
