I'm not sure if its me or who I train under? I study Kenpo Jujutsu. My Sensei works out of a fitness club so we are trying to practice with music playing and people walking in to use machines that are in the room. Besides that I feel I've reached a peak that I feel blah. I like martial arts and even though I'm not a brown belt, I help newer students and also adjust my own basics to better my art.
My Sensei stress' scenarios and power hitting, but I'm more intrigued with how to,history, etiquette of martial arts. I only practice twice a week once with advanced students and then a escrima class. What am I missing? I know train more but its hard with job and family. If I am treating it like hobby should not even do it? Please help.

It sounds like you need more of a structured environment. It seems like there are too many distractions going on that prevent you from learning.
It's good to teach others what you know because it helps to tighten your own game, but if at your level you find yourself teaching more than you are learning, that's a problem and you should discuss it with your sensei.
It's completely normal to sometimes hit plateaus, but this doesn't sound like you've hit a plateau, it sounds like you need more structure. Good luck!

Look up BJJ Red Belt's. They have met their plateau as far as anyone could, most as you and I will never be there.
When you go to a class try to take advantage of what it offers that works for you. Rather than looking at what needs improvement about the class, look at what needs improvement in the class - you.
If you choose to stay in a class it must offer something you find of value. Take that to it's full advantage, even with the disorder or confusion. In the end you will find that any interuptions or inconviences are well worth the knowledge gained.

maybe your trying to go to far to quick?it's also possible your sensei is letting you spend to much time teaching instead of learning?it would also be unusual for a sensie to only stress 2 or 3 things.i dont think anyone can really answer this only you.

I don't know much about jujutsu, but it sounds as if a sensei whose interests (in history, etiquette, etc) match your own might put new interest into it for you.

This is bcoz of lack of communication b/w U and your sensei.
i think u got speak to your sensei about this and tell him about your situation
