At the same time, if you are training under an Inosanto instructor, and you become a full instructor under that person (Let's Say Sifu Joe) then Sifu Joe can "put you up" (refer you) for instructorship under Guro Dan. Guro Dan usually welcomes that, because it ultimately means more money for him, but also because he is able to keep a watchful eye on the quality of instructor under his lineage this way. Since Guro Dan is still alive and certifiying instructors (a couple people I know received their credentials last year) I question why these other instructors in the lineage have not been referred up? That's the only point I was trying to make. This guy questioned how legitimate this instructor is, and agree to a point.
