Hate to dredge up this post but....

I'm thinking of doing Praying Mantis style Kung Fu along with my kendo training. (I haven't started either yet).

I practiced Ho Shin Do style Taekwondo 2 years ago and was fairly good at it. I was doing that and playing soccer (goalkeeper) full time. I still think thats the best shape I've been in in my life. So, I know I can do two things physically at once (if I work back up to the point where I was physically 2 years ago).

My question is this though, if I started larning both martial arts at the same time, would I be really confused? As in, would it be tough to keep my footwork straight if I'm learning footwork for 2 different martial arts?

Can anyone who has ever done this before give me a bit of insight?

Thanks!
