lowereastside Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 Lineage - IMO is the next link in the chain. To Acknowledge those who came before us - Respect. That being said - we must develop ourselves to uphold that Lineage. We must not only carry on and respect our Lineage - but must uphold and carry on the Skills of the Lineage. Anyway just my 3 cents.

JohnASE Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 In my opinion, lineage is very important, but primarily in defining your style. Sure, you do Shorin Ryu, but is it Matsubayashi or Kobayashi? Is your Kenpo EPAK or Tracy? Sometimes, the differences are trivial, but sometimes they're not.Also, a sense of your style's history can enhance your appreciation of the art. Some people only care that it works, but many want to know why it works, or how it developed, or in what ways it's similar to or different from other styles. Lineage can help reveal such things.

andym Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Lineage can be important, or irrelevant. That's the problem with it.This is mine for what it's worth.Kanryo HigashionnaChojun MiyagiEichi MiyazatoTeruo Chinen + Garry SpiersTony ChristianMyself. If you believe in an ideal.

Mr. Punchy Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 I'm not really sure how I feel about lineages I know they're important but I don't believe them to be the end all be all of what you study, if it works it works it doesn't matter who you learned it from. That being said this is kind of fun so I will list the lineages I am aware of:Jeet Kune Do:Bruce LeeDan Inosanto Paul Vunak Harinder Singh Jason HerreraMe I was also lucky enough to study Aikido for a little bit, no where near as long as I would like but:Morihei UeshibaYoshimitsu YamadaWee Wow DumlaoMe https://www.tkdunlimited.net "Even though our path is completely different from the warrior arts of the past, it is not necessary to abandon totally the old ways. Absorb venerable traditions into this Art by clothing them with fresh garments, and building on the classic styles to create better forms." -Morihei Ueshiba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CredoTe Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 As my path has split from my original lineage, I have a few lineage lists. Because I practice Matsubayashi-Ryu, rather than list the entire lineage back to Tode Sakugawa and others, I stop at Shoshin Nagamine, with his lineage implied.My Former Karate Lineage:Shoshin NagamineAnsei UeshiroGary TiktinMy CI's InstructorMy CIMeMy Current Karate Lineage:Shoshin NagamineTakayoshi NagamineSteve TrombleyMy CIMe Remember the Tii!In Life and Death, there is no tap-out...

jaypo Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Kensei- my Sensei also trained with Okazaki in Philadelphia. It must have been an honor to train with a direct student of Master Funakoshi!
