kensei Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Shotokan-Funakoshi Sensei......Nakyama Sensei.....Yaguchi Sensei.....Dingman Sensei....MeTones of other styles but I always see Shotokan as my main style. The only other one I can figure would be my Sambo lineage because it was a family art (Grand father taught us a bit) Vasili Oshchepkov.....Anatoly Kharlampiev........Frank Lukazewich.....me.I stopped doing Sambo when my grand father passed away and took up Judo...but after getting Shodan gave it up....now in my 40s I am taking up BJJ but pretty much sticking to form and keeping Shotokan as my main working style.

armanox Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Old thread, my 2 cents: A better question would be: "How far are you down the line from a passionate and constantly improving teacher?".Well in that case, my instructor fits the bill. As another Shorin Ryu student said in the thread, we really don't have a "Grandmaster." But, if you must have a lineage...
