Peter, I don't really disagree with this. At the same time, we get so damned wrapped up around it that it gets almost crazy. You've seen the post where some guy pushes someone's button and pretty soon there's a post saying:
Who is your sensei? How long have you studied? What's your rank? Blah, blah, blah...blah, blah, blah...because I've trained 3,000 years in "blow big wind" style super do. It's just makes me scratch my head a bit.
The first question I'm usually asked when I meet someone on the mat is where do you study and who is your teacher. Ok, sometimes I get, "what style are you", but that usually comes from a specific group of folks. I dunno, maybe it seems safest to ask the hairy kinda big guy who looks like he could get grumpy at times that sort of question I dunno.
To me, it's just not that important but I think I'm way in the minority on this one.
