BJJ Guys, What's Your Lineage?

[King Creatine]

matt barvo -> sivlerd -> me (15 degree black belt)

Barvo > SilverD > stileO > me (3rd degree zoro belt)

 

[HEAVY GRAPPLER]

Currently: Mitsuyo Maeda > Carlos Gracie > Carlson Gracie > Andre Pederneiras > Robson Moura > Me (purple belt.)

But I received my blue from Jorge Gurgel, and stripes on that belt from Sergio Silva. And I spent 7 months training with a Carlson BB and 6 months with a Rickson BB.

The Carlson BB definitely deserves the credit for bringing me up to blue belt level. The Rickson BB is still the guy I go to for help with fundamentals.

If I consider everything equally, my lineage is getting messy.

What's going to be important for me in the end is - who will decide I've earned the black belt? I imagine there will be a lot of people to thank for their help along the way.

This is what Wikipedia says about Cesar

"Jigoro Kano → Tsunejiro Tomita → Mitsuyo "Count Koma" Maeda → Carlos Gracie, Sr. → Robson Gracie → Cesar Gracie" > Me

It also says, "In 1996, Gracie received another certificate from his other uncle Carlos Gracie Jr."

For now my coach above me is Andrew Gardineer who is under Giva Santana. My coach is leaving in March to go open a school in Malaysia so I'll probably transfer to the Lab and train under John Crouch.

 

[AzRich75]

I would have to split it up from when I started, the breakup of two schools and now the academy I am currently with which seems a little disrespectful.

All the people I have had as instructors are top notch and a great people to whom I still try and spend some mat time with when I have the chance.
