This page gives an idea of the breadth of the Kyokushin tree and its
descendants. While the Flavours Page simply
lists the offshoots, this page shows the spreading of the branches and
the falling of the fruits. It should be noted that the branchings do not
so much show how one style derived from another as much as they show who
was whose student. For example, while David Cook was both Mas Oyama's
and Steve Arneil's student, he took his current direction from Ashihara,
and hence he is shown as being "descended" from Ashihara.

Number in Brackets (a/b) : a = highest grade under IKO
