Maybe he was referring to a persons "core art".
I currently study Kempo, but I have studied Shotokan first and longer than my current art. When I move you can still see my core movements are not purely Kempo but resemble Shotokan.
The longer I train the more Kempo I get but I don't think the Shotokan will just dissapear out of my MA. Nor would I really want it to.
My kempo friends still refer to me as "That Shotokan Guy".
(depending on how much butchering of technique I'm accomplishing at the time.):wink2:
