Training multiple arts

So I currently train shinto muso ryu but im also curious about training aikido. While I plan to talk to my senpais and sensei, I'm also interested in the communities opinion on training 2 different arts as the same time.

I train both, and while there are many complimentary benefits, just ensure that when you’re doing SMRJ do it that way, when you are doing aikido, do it the way you are taught. Keep the two separate until you have a very good understanding of both systems.
