What is the drawback of cross training another martial art whilst studying tai chi?

The drawback of cross training with another martial art is that is does not work.

Tai Chi is complete in itself, and needs no adjunct.

It involves learning a new way to use the body involving softness, relaxation, and whole-body movement.

To learn in parallel with another martial art will go against what you are trying to achieve in either art.

Tai Chi is an holistic approach to life and health.

To mix this with any other approach will lead to dilution and confusion.

By failing to commit fully to either art, you will only ever achieve a limited level of competence.
