Lineage is a funny thing. Some say that it's not important and people place too much  emphasis on it. Most of the time those people DON'T have any lineage or any specific people they can credit or point their training to.Most times they can't.

Look at the most popular self defense systems around today. You will discover that all of them except a few can point to a lineage of close combat training and expertise. Most of them spent little or no time learning any defensive tactics or fighting arts. Most f their systems are based on what they believe works. That is only one man or woman. Even Krav Maga founder Lichtenfeld learned what his father was teaching in his gym. His father was no doubt a tough SOB, and a WRESTLER by training. Dig a little deeper into peoples backgrounds and read between the lines. You will be shocked at what you see (and don't see!).

A lineage ensures that you have the benefit of the people who came before. It also guarantees that your curriculum is tested by a wide variety of people in a multitude of circumstances.

Being a part of the Self Defense Company means just that, you are a part of one of the greatest reality self defense lineages today. To add to that pedigree, Black Belt just listed us in their WHO'S, WHO http://www.blackbeltmag.com/archives/who.

This is just another feather in he Self Defense Company cap. By the way, if lineage wasn't so important...Harvard wouldn't cost so much.
