Technically that goes back to Carlos Gracie Sr, but if the picture painted of by Choque and other historical studies is true, not somebody I want to celebrate or venerate. ;)

As a few others have mentioned I find the notion of lineage a bit odd. In jiu jitsu we have the opportunity to make ourselves with the help of each other. I certainly learned as much from my peers as I have my teachers over the years. That being said, the best I can figure, my lineage looks like this:

Interested in how dis/similar your game/knowledge is that to your direct Professor.
Mine is completely different due to being isolated, size, weight, age, strength differences. Variation and adaptation based on what I recognize my strengths and weaknesses are have largely shaped my game - some by choice and other from evidence (of getting smashed by stronger, heavier partners).
What I learn from my Professor are mostly 60% concepts, 20% techniques and 20% how he teaches these.

Augusto Juarez of House Rinaldo Santos, bannerman of the late Carlson Gracie Sr.
I think it’s like unit assignments in the Army—you can have a good experience with the culture and embrace it, or you may just do your time. But every branch has a rich history, and it can sometimes feel good to feel a sense of belongingness under a flag.

Mr Miagi was my coach. I then got tired of wax on wax surfboards. Then i then went to Tom Po. His lineage was so long, Pablo Escobar fronted him “lines” long enough to keep him a life time. This lineage is like ...”Oss” when entering a dojo.Its shit. Ive come to this conclusion...................People should grow up. Who cares as long as you progress and it shows when you roll and having fun.

Here's something to consider...
I have switched clubs a few times since I've received my purple belt in 2005. I've been a member of 3 clubs in total. Should my linage be the first club when I stayed until purple, the second club where I easily learned/improved the most, or the third where I have been since Dec 2018?
