MartialLineage.org is a community-driven platform for documenting and preserving martial arts lineages across all styles and systems worldwide. Your lineage matters. Your teachers matter. Your place in history matters.
Build your martial arts family tree. Record your instructors, their instructors, and the chain of knowledge passed down through generations. Multiple schools teaching the same system are connected.
Prospective students can browse schools by martial art, location, and style. Whether you're looking for Kempo, Karate, BJJ, Kung Fu, or any other art - search and connect.
Multiple verification levels help establish trust - self-verified practitioners, peer-verified connections, and admin-verified lineages backed by documentation.
From traditional to modern, Eastern to Western, striking to grappling - if you have a lineage, you have a home here. 22 base arts and growing.
Create your school page, manage memberships, and affiliate with organizations. Schools teaching the same system (like multiple Barongan Kempo schools) are linked together.
Each school and organization gets its own discussion forum. Public forums connect the broader martial arts community for cross-style dialogue.
