I train at Straight Blast Gym with Matt Thornton. One of his policies is that students are free to train wherever they want! In fact one of the bylaws to be a SBG international school is that they don't restirct students in any way. No questions asked. We have students who train with other gyms in town and it hasn't been a problem at all. In fact it has helped the game of everyone else. They often bring a different flavor of things to the gym. There is no real good reason for an instructor to forbid his students from training anywhere else. If you are taking someone's curriculum and giving it verbatum to another club then there might be an issue, but barring that why should they care?
