Lineage is a historical record of the formal development, transition and progression of an art form, signifying heritage, authenticity, and credibility. It also represents a right of succession and official authorization to teach directly from the highest leading authority. MIM is one of the few organizations in the world that offers practitioners verifiable authenticity and credibility, certified through our direct lineage.
