Helio Gracie ➡️ Flavio Behring ➡️ Sylvio Behring ➡️ Fernando Zulick ➡️ Reynaldo Ely Camejo ➡️ Me

Had to show me up with a collage eh.... It's awesome though, might have to Photoshop myself in there

I added a little lineage text field if you want to add this information to your profile. Just go to 'edit profile' and you'll find it there :)

Found this online. I thought it didn't exist anymore. Pretty cool!!! https://www.rolljunkie.co[...]neage-tree

That's actually cool I had seen that site years ago and forgot about it

Sad thing is they gave up on it before it was completed.

You would have thought they would have at least got around to having Randy Lasu Rodgers on there, being a 7th degree black belt and all.

Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Helio Gracie > Royce Gracie > Rob Kahn > Me

As a history student and Jiu-Jitsu geek this type of stuff is pretty cool to me because it allows me to do more reading and connect to other cultures. Though Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu history is murky and manipulated, most lineages allow for an interesting amalgam of ideas and styles that create our crazy culture. Jigoro Kano >> Mitsuyo Maeda >> Carlos Gracie >> George Gracie >> Octavío de Almeida >> Moises Muradi >> Eduardo Santos >> Pabs Carela.

I actually find this cool too.. In al martial arts lineage is a very simple thing and gives an air of authenticity

Found William Murphy on there too.

Why don’t golfers, tennis players, table tennis players, cyclists and marathon runner talk about their lineage like jiu jitsu people do? It’s weird. Just weird.

Lineage is the original Beltchecker!

I don’t put much thought into this as I don’t roll or teach like any of the 6 last coaches I have been under up to black.

Huh?

I know this may sound a little crazy but they are all old school in how they teach and the moves they show. I’ve been doing a lot of self study with a handful of training partners pulling from a few outside sources. I’ve even had long time training partners who took most of last year off train with me again and tell me my whole game has completely changed which is accurate. Does this make more sense?
