I said this before on MT, I had a conversation a few years back with an MMA guy and he was willing to train anything that he felt would help him win. At that time he was training Qigong because he felt it helped his relaxation in the ring. He also had a whole lot of questions about taijiquan.
Also talked with a taiji guy who decided to go off and train MMA for a bit and he was having a ball. He was learning how to better use what he had learned under pressure, and the MMA folks were learning how to deal with someone with a good root. As far as he was concerned it was a win win situation on both sides
