Had a good I Ho Chaun meeting yesterday with the team and our team's mentor's. Very candid discussions surrounding lineage in the martial arts and what it means to be a black belt. Not only to be a black belt but to live a black belt life. My goal is still to attain my black belt and when I do my further goal is to live the life of a SRKF black belt. Lineage has always been important to me especially in regards to family. This is how most of us can relate to lineage. Who is in the family tree is important to me and it represents who came before me. There are always individuals that are are in the family tree that perhaps we are not the most proud of. The same can be said in the martial artist lineage. Whatever your opinion is of these individuals they are still part of who the family is and who the martial artist is.
I am proud to be part of my families lineage as well as SRKF's lineage.
