If you got your belt from one person but than changed gyms and got stripes but not belts from another instructor how do you define your lineage?

At the end of the day, your lineage is going to be tied to whomever gives you your black belt.

Imo, lineage below black belt is kind of silly. Before then, it's just a way for people to say, "I train under so and so" while trying to make it seem cooler by calling it their "lineage".

Got my blue from Juliano Prado and Adriano Nasal from BTT. Both instructors are 3rd degree BB under Murilo Bustamente (former UFC champ and BTT founder)

Got my purple from Mendes Bros.
