The Family Tree
It can't even be called a Family Tree of Kenpo as students have gone on to develop their own styles and systems. This tree consists of people who have reached the level of black belt with an instructor or been promoted to a subsequent degree of black belt. Each page gives an instructor's list of black belts. If those black belt students have promoted others to the level of black belt, you will find a page for their branch on the tree. In addition, there is a list of which instructors that black belt student is a member of, each linking back to their own branch of the tree. As far as qualifications for being a part of the tree, you must have reached the level of black belt (not including junior black belts or child blacks) and have been instructed by that person. Just because an instructor signed your certificate as a witness does not mean you get to be on his / her tree.

There will undoubtedly be problems that arise and questions regarding the lineages. I am not saying these are correct. I am saying this is what I have found, read, and been given. As time goes on, hopefully we can clear up problems and sort out questions just like any historian does.

If you have any questions about the information on this page, or would like to add your branch or would like to add names to your branch, contact the Administrator.
