no, not really, the arts that i have chosen all complement each other, eg the technique for executing a cross in each of my arts is the same ( using body mechanics, twisting the hips etc.)
for me its just like practicing one really big art just in different parts, what i end up with is a sort of toolbox of techniques, to use when the situations come up.
Thai gives me knowledge of defencive structure and striking power, panantukan is awesome for street defence, Kali provides arm strength and co-ordination, and weapon defence skills and jun fan and grappling give me skills for extreme close range and trapping situations, and ground skills respectively
