I've been doing Muay Thai almost as long as I've been training in BJJ, do a Judo class once a week, and usually spend about 2 hours training with some friends who are D2 college wrestlers. I know some people disagree with cross training, but I find that they all improve and compliment one another very well. Plus it keeps things interesting
