kensei Posted January 13, 2013 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. Even monkeys fall from trees
armanox Posted January 14, 2013 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... "Karate is NOT about the colour of belt you wear it is about the person you become;...to be a good blackbelt is to be humble and respectful amongst other things." -Dobbersky
