What's your lineage

[Kymus]

I was just currious as to how everyones lineage links back up to Sijo.

I learned under Sifu Rick Tucci at the Princeton Academy of Martial Arts.
Sifu is a Full Instructor in JKD, certified by Guro Dan Inosanto.

I first studied with a student of Ron Kealoha's who was a student of Bruce Lee from The Seattle era about the same time I started attending seminars with Ted Wong one of the best from the LA/chinatown era.
But becuase I wanted to become proficient in all eras of Jun Fan and not just one I decided to study under Sifu Lamar Davis who has studied with over 16 of Bruce Lee's Students from Seattle Oakland and La/Chinatown and is fully certified.

The instructors I have trained were as follows.

For Jun Fan JKD: My instructor was Richard Bustillo who was a student of Bruce Lee and was later certiflied by Dan Inosanto.

For JKD Concepts: My instructor was Daniel Sullivan in Newport who was a student of Dan Inosanto.

For PFS: My instructor was Ryan Clark(which I only trained with for a few weeks) who was certiflied by Paul Vunak who was himself a student of Dan Inosanto.

I used to think lineage was important, that the closer to bruce Lee the better, hmmm I actually think that the truth is closer to the opposite if that makes any sense. I haven't trained with a JKD man is almost a year, but I still consider myself inessence practicing JKD no matter what art I am currently studing.
