Re: Lineage vs Affiliation, Which?

I think the majority of new students join a dojo primarily becuase it is close to their house. They cannot possibly care about affiliation or keito. Later they will learn that neither matters in the end because both get corrupted very easily.

If you want to attract students, be humble, teach solid fundamentals, keep your prices fair (offer good value), and keep learning yourself.

If you want to retain students, make sure the members of the dojo understand that it is their responsbility to actively preserve the peace and collaborate.
