The style is not particularly important as I'm doing it for fitness, but I also like the practical value of being able to learn something which could be useful in day-to-day life.

Why not train in an art that has a complete system instead of having to go from art to another. Part of the problem with training in multiple systems is that at some point their philosophies clash and tend to cause more confusion than good. That's not to say you can't pick up and idea here and there which is a good thing. But making black belt is not the end all of that system. Black belt means that you've mastered the basics of the first level. It's after black belt when your really suppose to pick up the advanced principles. A true system of martial arts is based on actual principles. Not as a collection of techniques that you think are cool. Technique comes from principles it's not the other way around. Principles are the foundation from which an art is built upon and then expanded from that point onward. A tree cannot have branches without first growing it's roots. So to answer your question "no" you don't have to train in multiple systems. But there is nothing wrong with keeping an open mind and learning something new from time to time. I'm a believer in "mastering" one system, and learning all there is to know about it. Best of luck to you.

There is a Style called Samurai Jui Jitsu, which has many clubs in central London ( see www.,jitsufoundation.org for exact locations) Most of these are based in Universities but are open to non students. The cost is around £2 a session ( 2hrs) . This is excellent for both fitness and self defence. Usually your first session is free, so just turn up and see if you like it.

Take up the free lessons at the begining of your traing then move onto a different school, okay you will run out of free lessons eventually but you can stick with one style you like
