The original source for the first tree is IKF Presents (March 1994). The
tree was made by Kajukenbo Black Belt John Bishop. It was typeset by
Paul Seaby. It has since, then been added to, by the FAQ maintainer, Mark Urbin. The second
tree was posted by Rick
Heile, on 3-NOV-1986 11:06. The third tree was supplied by Bruce Corrigan, avsup@ix.netcom.com
The fourth tree is a Shaolin Kempo tree provided by
Shaolin Kempo Great Grandmaster Fred Villari III.
A Kajukenbo tree is being maintained by Charlie
Walton, it can be found at http://www.kajukenbo.org/history/famtree.html.
A quick note on trees. These linear, two dimensional trees don't show the whole story. Many of those listed have training in arts other than Kempo. Others have trained from several different Kempo instructors, even if they are only shown as having a single instructor on the trees.
