Training at other Dojos and Gyms

With the Christmas break coming up, a lot of dojos and gyms from all martial arts close for a couple of weeks in order to enjoy the festive season. With this, the people that train at these places tend to stop training for a couple of weeks also, and rest there bodies. Although it is a good idea to rest during this time so as the body can recuperate, some people like to keep training, plus, it is a good time to cross train. As said before, most schools shut, but some remain open during the festive season and shut just Christmas day. If you find a martial art school that remains open, go there and ask to train for a couple of weeks in order to remain active and to see different ideas and concepts from other teachers. Even if the school teaches a completely different martial art style to yours or maybe use weapons instead of unarmed combat, you shall still pick up new ideas and thoughts and if they are worth it, you can incorporate them into your own system of fighting, to make you a better rounded fighter.
