While it can be convenient to study by private instruction, the guilds are the best places to learn. The guild leaders might take a very dim view of someone stepping in on their territory and creating an alternate source for instruction. Those who have dedicated themselves to the guilds may also harbor some resentment.
"She's not a -real- Pugilist. She wasn't a student of the guild." This is true. Pugilism was invented by the founder of the guild, and thus should be taught and learned at the guild for authenticity. Outside of the guild its just kickboxing.
Other exclusives are Ninjutsu, which is meant to be very secret, and Conjury, which has roots in White Magic and thus needs oversight and permission from the Padjal. There's a lot of particulars each class has.
Now if you want to focus on theory, history, and literature, you wont have any problems. Modern Eorzea could do with a place to raise the next best and brightest scholars.
The guild leaders may view it as such, alternatively they may see it as an expansion of their craft. They may like the fact that their students are carrying on their work elsewhere. The guild masters we see are not the only masters of the arts in the game, and there are plenty of characters who RP as mastrs of each class. It is just something that we will never know unfortunately.
Regarding the issues of Ninjutsu and Conjury, there is no reason that the teachers of those arts could not grant permission for it to be taught elsewhere, especially if it is a rare art such as the aforementioned ones. Again though, this is something that we don't know about and will likely never know.
