Some simple questions:
How many of you have studied with the head (grandmaster) of your system?
Now how many have studied with the grandmaster of any system?
For those that answer:
How many of these Grandmaster are a direct decent Being awarded the title after the death of the previous one?
How many where given the title by the old Grandmaster when he/she steped down due to illness, old age, impending death.
How many where given the title because they had taught a system for so long that it had become theirs through subtle canges they had incorparated(sp)?
Shadow
PS I'm not asking how many bought their rank or gave it to themselves
