Yes, every system and lineage has those that believe that he the "REAL" *insert MA here*.
That has always been that case.
The difference NOW as to THEN was that in the "old days" if you claimed you had the real anything, you would have to prove it in the only way that matters for a MA, FIGHT WITH IT.
Nowadays you can simply TALK about it and you will attract enough "like minded" people to help your self worth.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
