I am definitely saying Yes because if not a point of respect, the organization you belong to may have to take it into consideration when training in similar techniques. Legal issues such as insurance coverage may also come into play at some point as well.

I think I'd rather ask advice than permission, I would ask for advice, but I won't ask for permission. I'd probably follow the advice however.

I agree with Myth. I study Shotokan. I cross train in Jujitsu when my instructor can do it (he's a busy guy). Both sensei know I do the other art. They don't mind at all.
When I did TKD, my instructor didn't believe in cross training for his students, but he did it through out his life. So I did it anyway. Not out of disrespect, but if he did it, why can't we?

I'm with Myth on this one. I think you should at least advise your instructor what you are doing, even if you are not asking permission.
It is something that is of interest to them, and not disclosing as such is being a tad on the dishonest side.

I say yes you should ask, if for no other reason out of respect for your sensei.

I think it's more important for tradion and respect than anything else. Way back when you usually studied from one master and they were that, a master. So, I'd say yes, for respect of your sensei, and the art, ask.
