Your BJJ lineage?

[Benu]

Stole the idea from that flying tech topic. And tought I would start a topic, don't know if this is the correct area for it, but I'm sure the mods can move it to another place if they see fit.

So, what does your lineage look like?

Mine goes:

Murilo Bustamante - Richard Andersson - Tony Bäckman (brown belt, gave me my blue with the concent of Richard) - Me

[TCMA]

Here's mine:

Helio Gracie => Royler Gracie => David Adiv => Thomas Clifford (brown belt) => Me

[Kyduh]

No guys, you're not going back far enough
Me:
Jigoro Kano->Mitsuo Maeda->Carlos Gracie Sr.->Carlos Gracie Jr.-> Helio "Soneca" Moreira -> Rick Sparks

Although to be honest I don't feel right claiming this lineage as my own until I have a black belt. We're still a bunch of nobodies

I'm with you on that. When I think about my pathetic technique, I'm almost ashamed to put Adiv, Royler or Helio in my lineage. Of course, even Royler was at my skill level at some point (probably when he was 4, but still).

[Avenged]

De La Riva> Don Whitefield (Black Belt)> Me

[The Don]

Here's mine:

Helio Gracie => Royler Gracie => David Adiv => Thomas Clifford (brown belt) => Me

For me its...

Helio - Royler/David - Greg Smith -Me


My instructor is mainly a Royler student but he does train with David as well.. plus my instructor was giving premisison to teach by helio himself..

[CDRPyro]

Helio> Relson/Royler>Daniel Moraes>Me

[TimaruWarriorsMMA]

[The Don]

Helio> Renzo> Rich Latta> me (lowly one stripe white)
