The difference being is that with these new associations, the Champion of the lineage is not their for all of your evolution, so they are not intimate with your skillsets. Most choose to use the Flow vs an arsenal check, if they don't have a Curriculum schedule on paper. Most go with the Flow. it all depends on their pet peeves. In todays JJ world its subjective to your champions "Bad habits" I joke, but the comment is a very humble truth. When ever we hop lineages or Mentors, we end up learning how they "do the deed" or like in the police world we say " Learn their bad habits" Jiu Jitsu is an art that has so many differnt mindsets and strategies, that a lineage is its own subculture. This is what makes the intimacy of the tradecraft with your lineage. Black belt is only efficiency vs a Brown belts growing confidence. It is the Old way Mark, my family was the same.
