For me its been pretty easy, apart from when i was in japan it was a bit formal and i didnt like that at all. I didnt stay long because of it. Thailand was a piece of cake though, much like being in the UK really.
I useed to do kung fu in the UK wushu and san shou. that was ok, not strict, i did karate for a bit too and that was fairly strict and in the end i didnt like it.
In my opinion it slowed the learning experience terribly.

Overall id say every time ive encountered formality in martial arts its made training harder but in all the wrong ways. Harder to ask questions, harder to get info, harder to progress. Formality in martial arts simply means less communication.
